When uploading on Monday, I had 9 hours, meanwhile these photos are 319 hours. Holidays? Long-sleeping?

I have the same problems nearly regularly and even if I want to keep cool I´m angry every time I get such an rejection mail. Its no problem when the rejection is based on a real problem (for ex. you have forgotten a logo) or when they say "no, we do not like it". I can handle this. But if there is today this problem, tomorrow that problem and the next day another problem, its really frustrating - especially if you have an upload limit.
The same is when you had a series of photos: Same light and the same workflow, but some are OK, some not - depending on the inspector.
I think, some microstock-inspectors work too exactly in the moment, one little artifact on a 4200 x 2800 pixel photo and they say no. They are afraid that a buyer could complain and they get a problem. But they do not think of the frustration of the 1000 photographers getting rejections that are hard do understand. But again: Often the rejections are OK and understandable, and I think we all had learned a lot of these rejections!
But sometimes I like it getting rejections on microstocks: Some month ago I had a scan of a photo that was really not so good (to my opinion). All microstocks rejected it because of artifacts etc. I decided to upload it to a macrostock and they said it was OK. Last week it had been sold to a large insurance company for printing in A3 and they like its - 250 Euros for me....

General - Top Sites / Re: IPTC errors and uploading problems
April 11, 2007, 13:01
Hello,
I´m absolutely new here, but maybe I can help.
I use IrfanView and had the similar problem: The keywords had been cut at several Microstocks to fragments.
After long reading, I found the problem: I edited the keywords separated with comma (xxx, XX, xxx). Some Microstocks understand it and everything is fine, others not.
I did not know yet that the "official way" is to use a new line for every keyword. Else the software thinks there is only one keyword and cuts it after 64 letters.
Another problem was that not every software recognizes IPTC. I had a no-name software to check some pictures and this software destroyed them.
Best regards
Peter
