I hear ya Sergio but all of them seem pretty straightforward.

This one has me baffled...Bad Motive



Uploaded as a terminal picture.

Any insight for the rejection? Too much road, no planes, no people. It was like0500, everybody but me was asleep.

[nssd70]

Seems to be too much road. The first thing I see when I look at the picture is the road.

rejected for grain...it had just rained and was still misting...really?

[gonzalu]

Sorry Mike, but it is not the rain.. Remember your images are screened at 500% and also equalized. If you do the same with your above image, you will see the heavy noise. Looks like an easy fix though... Lately also ANY blockage of any sort, even the slightest, will usually get rejected :-( So, give it another shot, and use the noise reduction wisely. Do you have Lightroom? IF not, do you have Imagenomic Noiseware Pro for Photoshop? If not, I'd be glad to denoise your final edit BEFORE resizing for you...

Cropping...yet I thought they were good crops.

Its not your cropping that got you the rejections, its the size ratio and the 2nd I'm guessing you forgot to check off "cargo plane" once you were uploading

Here is what you have to remember as far as the ratio when cropping:

Photos should be uploaded between 4:3 or 3:2 format. Those formats are typically used by almost all digital cameras, so that any changes to the format can only be achieved by deliberately cropping the photo differently. A photo outside these size ratios will be rejected using the rejection reason "Cropping / Photo edges".

To make it easier for you here are the typical sizes for both ratios.



4:3
800 x 600
1024 x 76
1280 x 960
1600 x 1200

3:2
800 x 533
1024 x 681
1200 x 800
1600 x 1067

Is the size ratios visible? I personally don't know what to look for within that.

Kris, I created a small video on cropping and ratios just for this very question some time ago

Remember your images are screened at 500% and also equalized.

In screening we get the jpg file without watermark - there is no capability in the screening tool to zoom, equalize or anything else. Very occasionally I will save the file and open in Photoshop, usually when checking a suspicious area for cloning. However, if we did that for a majority of images the queue would be astronomically long.

Pete,

I apologize, I was actually speaking of the JP.net process I was told that they have a tool on the browser on the URL they use for screening that does a few things like grid for centering checks, zoom, eq etc. Dana has told me many times you guys do none of the above except maybe check suspicious stuff once in a while and that even then, Photoshop can't be used to justify a rejection. That last one is kind of weird as there is never a time where I have appealed and been ever been justified and frankly, we can never tell if a Photoshop EQ was used or not

Thanks Manny, that answers a lot of my questions on cropping!
Now if I may ask on CS5 is there an auto fix or is it all manual?

[gonzalu]

AutoFix? like what, exposure/contrast/color balance? BETTER than Lightroom

For cropping in CS5, it sucks ass ... in my opinion, Lightroom is soooo ahead of Photoshop with the crop tool.

So, Auto Color is CTRL+SHIFT+B, Auto Levels is CTRL+SHIFT+L and Auto Contrast is CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+L

But be careful, they can sometimes bite you... you can use them individually or separately and definitely can be combined in any order depending on the result you want. Make sure you do it on a separate layer, always and mask mask mask!
