David Hewison Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Bloody hell -My first QC fail in 70 submissions To be honest, I deserved it, the image was soft, there was too much noise (although that was deliberate), and I'd become complacent and let my quality drop. Will I be sin binned for eternity?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Did they show you the image that failed? If so, it's unlikely you'll be spending time in the slammer. The point here is: don't try to get away with anything. Make sure, when looking at every inch of an image at 100%, that there is nothing that could fail QC.

David Hewison Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 Yes Ed, they did... I hope you're right. Don't worry, I have learnt my lesson. A part of me was testing the envelope on how far I could push an image.. but I may have a toe off the edge of a cliff now, so playing it safe from now on.

Ed Rooney Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Try submitting one sure-to-pass image as a test. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alamy clearly state that if you continue to submit sub-standard work you may have your upload capacity suspended for a time, but that is not the case if you have simply had a QC fail. dd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Douglas Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 The term "sin bin" refers to the indeterminate time between submitting your images and being told that one or more has failed. During that period, any more images that you send in will not be looked at and will be just added to the reject pile. Once you are told that you have failed QC, any images that you submit after that will once again go through the normal QC process. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I'm as sound as a pound for now at least... Thanks for clarifying that for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
