This lessens abuse which i am all for. It doesn't affect my work flow as i had to deal with this situation on istock. It is funny how they are tightening things around here now they are a public company. bad press hurts stock prices!

Agree, good policy. Need to keep everyone honest, not only the photographers. You would not like someone using your picture to trace their illustration and then pass it off as their work.

Good, brings it more in line with IS's policy, which is one thing they had spot on.

I'm glad they finally put something in writing. But it's still crappy because folks that make art on computer are still getting rejected for not having an original scan.  >:(

I''m now going into my 10 images sitting in approval queue to add scans of drawings for vectors I created from india ink drawings in the model release tab. I will humbly submit to this new process. However, I hope they remain consistent with this policy.

I stopped including scans for IS over a year ago. With their arbitrary rejections, it never made a difference for me. Well, it seems SS is going the route of IS by only requiring a scan and not a completed release with the scan. If I'm right, then this original scan (or drawing on computer?) won't be much of a hassle.

Shouldn't be rejected but?

Please note that you do not have to submit reference images for vectors that were directly created on a program or tablet.

However, please know that our reviewers examine every image submission very thoroughly, and may request more information about a vector if it appears that the vector may have been created using a reference image.

Well, that's why I just decided I'm going to include my black outline for the computer-based illustrations. They do their best, but they still keep thinking I'm making them from an original. I want to prevent more resubmissions and feed the beast.  ;)

Sorry I quoted myself. Please disregard.

Hey Rhino here is an example of the source images from my drawings I put together. The Right side 4459_SketchSpaceSet_Drawings is what I added as my source when I uploaded the .eps today.

Yeah, that's got to work! Thanks. Lordy, if these silly people don't accept that, I don't know what to think!
