Thanks Keith,

I know you are working hard to get everything under control.
What I like about Zymmmetrical is the very quick respons and fix.
But you have to understand that when I open my account and looking through my port and see some wierd pictures you have to understand that this is not OK. 
Not for me but also not for the owner of those pictures.
I tried to get to the latest version but there is still one picture left in my port of someone else.

Similar findings....
More so with about 20-30% rejections on the same "overfiltred" and "artifacts" my upload limit is actually only about 20-25 files per week. I simply cannot maintain my income.
Even with files coming from probably the best camera in the world and that have never been compressed in any way, I still get files rejected for overfiltred and artifacts. Especially really sharp files get rejected. The files that get through the inspections easily are the ones that are slightly soft or out of focus... Too sharp (even with no sharping added anywhere) and the files get rejected for being "mysteriously sharp"....overfiltred...

Yuri, so good to hear from you. Frankly, if IS is putting the squeeze on you, what chances do we newbies have?
I mentioned the same thing as you did here...even without post processing other than levels
i get overfiltered, for an especially sharp file. only because i went from a 7MP to 14 MP camera.
that's the mysteriously sharp ...that the reviewers rejected as over fliltered.
also the soft focus and lack of contrast, were actually high key lighting and actually steam off a glass, lol.

still, in hindsight, Yuri, if you get those rejections with your most expensive camera in the world,
hey ! i am going to forget IS for now.  or maybe, just send cats and off focus files that are accepted.
i am a newbie, only 20 images. Why scream at IS some dude tells me. Well, you know what, the images they rejected are so much better. Even i won't buy the ones IS accepted over the ones IS rejected.

Anyway, once again, Lisafix, Yuri, Coco,etc...and all, thanks for the insight. I will leave my portfolio at 20 images and go elsewhere until i see you all get better results from IS.

Same on my side overfiltering what the h........ even straight out of the camera without processing overfilterd very strange I thought I was the only one.....also strange rejection about keywording  picture of a beach and cant use the worth beach Hmmm makes you wonder........

Bobby,

I feel very sorry for you.
I think this kind of treatment towards contributers is very wrong .
If this happends in the "real business world" you are protected with some kind of law.
But in this business there are no rules or what ever ,only one way traffic,no freely speaking of your feelings .
In the SS forum there is a discussion going on on this topic I hope you respect my decision what ever it will be.
I hope in the future there is some kind of sollution with an union/association how will stand up for our rights in this business.
My as a small contributer like other small contributers  to several agencies can not  stand up for you or at least I have no big influence to speak up freely and risk that my account closed down immediately.
Not that it's a big deal closing down my account (no earnings so far) but this is not the sollution to the problem if you know what I mean.
Hope in the future there is a way to speak up freely about such a discussion without consequence......
