Title: ANY CHANCE OF A REVIEW TO SUBMIT TO StockXpert?
Post by: litifeta on March 11, 2007, 20:36

Hello all

I am looking for some assistance about what to submit to StockXpert for attempt 5. Here are my portofolios

Dave the first thing I noticed about your porfolio is that the isolated objects have grey backgrounds. My experience with StockXpert is that they are looking for objects that are perfectly isolated against white, not grey. For getting into StockXpert it may be worth revisiting Photoshop  ;)

I agree with sim's comments.  Also, note that StockXpert doesn't want anything related to travel.  They seem to want to focus on business and food (just my opinion).

BTW Dave, I'm about a kilometre from you, in Roma Street Parklands.  If you fancy a coffee one day, send me a mail at davidfranklin.mail@gmail.com

You probably know that we also have hidesy here (in Clayfield).

Indeed, I had an isolation rejected there and the white was RGB[253,253,253], so nearly pure white!  :)
