It's possible to add a message to IS in the title field, so I'm wondering if anybody has tried that with SS and gotten the required result.

More specifically, I'd like to ask them if a queued file is suitable for Commercial use, to rather change it from Editorial to Commercial. (I submitted the video as editorial thinking the faces were not indistinct enough, but I accidentally submitted it to other agencies who do not take editorial photos/videos and they accepted it, which made me think I'd like to change it if possible)

It probably depends on the reviewer.  I had one image rejected for 'over sharpening' in SS and resubmitted with a trenchant comment in the title. It was accepted second time. Other times. I have asked there if something is considered editorial to classify it as such rather than commercial as there is so much variety between agencies. This has always been ignored and SS rejects even if there is an editorial caption and I have forgotten to tick the editorial box, giving a rejection message of 'please resubmit'.

On the other hand, with an image submitted to DT the other day as editorial they sent an email saying they thought it would sell better as Commercial and had reclassified it.  I thought that was very nice of them.

Thanks. I thought SS might not bother with comments. I've done this with DT before and it worked.
