I've never had a photo rejected because of the model release - at most it goes to a "NeedsModelRelease" (or missing forgot the exact words) whereby you get an email saying what was wrong with the release. However after uploading/fixing the release the file goes throuhg straight away without losing its queue position

That has been my experience (limited as it may be) so far

omg,

i hit the post button, then F5 on istock (last one was 5 mins ago) and the DL counter moved!

leaf your forum fixed my DL counter!

I think Istock's rejection policy when it comes to postprocessing is fairly decent.

When the result (in hindsight) was questionable it was rejected. Recently i had an image in which (in my humble opinion) the PP complements/enhances the photo even though it distorts the appearance.

Was it accepted?

*grin*

i actually was on track for a BME until around july 12th or so with multiple downloads a day (with my portfolio size that is a good thing

Since then i have had 2 sales - it literally seems as though someone flipped a switch 

Ah well i'm still on an upload frenzy - hoping things will pick up soonish. When does the "summer slump" tend to finish on ISP?
