Title: Need a generic release that SS will accept.
Post by: click_click on November 13, 2018, 06:36

 Hi,
I haven't uploaded anything with a release ro a very long time. As I just had some shots where I used the property release of 500px (removing all 500px identifiers) - SS rejected teh release as it is "inelligible".

I thought the release from 500px would cover everything but apparently not.

Is there a generic release out there somewhere (URL?) that SS will accept?

Would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks for the responses and sorry for the missing information. The email from SS is:

Quote

A property release is required for this image or the attached property release does not meet our requirements or is illegible.

So I don't know whether it's the first or the latter that caused the rejection. I can read the hand writing except the fact that the property owner misspelled their email address. So I have to get a new release I guess. I cannot start messing with a signed document right?

I'd say, to be safe, start over with a new approved release and make sure it's legible.
