Hi
I've just put up a bunch of pictures for approval. Heaps have been refused. Thats not the problem as such. The problem is that the pictures have been refused because they are out of focus. Some of the pictures that have been accepted in my opinion have softer focus than the pictures that have been refused.
Also why has one picture from a studio session (where the camera was on a tripod and a shutter release cable used) been accepted and the others not. They seem to have gone magically out of focus when I wasn't looking, tsk, tsk.......
Aso remember the EXIF data alone is not enough to judge what size a picture should be. When a file is edited in photoshop & aperture or when a panoramic is put together from a series of smaller images the EXIF data is retained. When I bulk upload does someone just skim over the photos using the EXIF data as a basis for rejection or are they actually viewed properly.
Please take a closer look.

We know that a lot of people have been having problems understanding all the "out of focus" rejections recently, and it's time we explained why this has been happening.
Crestock recently switched to a new and improved image inspection system. As is always the case with new software, there are bugs and hickups that needs to be sorted out, in the case of our new inspection system, this resulted in some problematic rejection reasons being given, most specifically the rejection of images for being "out of focus" in cases where they where not at all out or focus, or where quite simply unsharp, though not out of focus. We have taken steps today to sort this out, and the rejection reasons given should start making more sense from now on.
When it comes to erroneous rejections, we know that these happen, and though we're all keeping an eye on inspections made, it's very helpfull to get feedback in cases where an inspection was obviusly incorrect. Such feedback should be directed to help@crestock.com, and should include the image ID of the image(s) in question.

When some parts of an image are out of focus, it's usually referred to as Depth Of Field. This is needed in some close-ups for effect and I have already directed a message to help@crestock requesting that my rejected pictures be looked at again....

In case anyone misunderstood our former post regarding our image inspection system, we will make this absolutely clear:
We do not actually have a piece of software inspecting our image, the mentioned software is simply a set of tools used by our human inspectors who look through each and every submitted image. ALL images are inspected by humans.
