Here is my experience with IStock:

1st submission: 1 accepted, 2 rejected
2nd submission (only have to submit 2): 1 accepted, 1 rejected
3rd submission (only have to submit 1): 1 rejected

and TODAY- 4th submission: 1 accepted!!!

The review process only took an hour or two; they were very quick.  From my experience I can tell you that they do review your images, especially since they would approve 1, reject 1, and not reject them all at one time.

Now that I'm officially "in" I'm more nervous than ever about submitting, with all that I've been through trying to get accepted in the first place.  I got accepted at SS on my second try, so this was the hardest yet.




wht abt the noise Mr.tree of life ???

i get rejected in SS abt 8 of my images where rejected for this reason "Noise--Noise, film grain, over-sharpening, or artifacts at full size."

can u give a solution except shooting the images again ?????

Thanx chasingmoments for participating in the thread

but i want to know ur opinion in using the extract option in photoshop which i fount a clip for it in youtube....

thnx in advance

Karim farah


Karim,

Quality: I have tested the extraction filter in PS, and never found it adequate. It leaves jagged, rough edges, it leaves parts of the background and it frequently rippes parts of the foreground out. You always have to clean up with other tools, in fact, for selecting and removing the background I'd alwasy prefer the wand tool over the extraction tool. It is also obvious from your example: parts of the image were ripped out by the extraction tool, and most of the time you don't have the luxury of just erasing !!! your main subject matter (as you did on the guy's back with pants and shirt). I would also really like to see 100% zooms of different parts of your isolation as I am sure they'd have rough edges.

Time wise: You make a good effort with this tutorial, but in the 11 minutes that it took you to isolate this guy I would have done a much more precise job with a pen tool with two of such images.

Verdict: you make so much good effort to learn isolation! And you've already invested so much time in understanding it, learning about it, etc. Use your time wisely and go with the pen tool! Seems like you have an understanding of other tools, if you are versatile with the pen tool you'll be able to isolate subjects like in your example in under five minutes.

Best,

Olga



thanx pretty olga .......
