Post an image and it's rejected for over sharpening. Fine, reduce sharpening. Post again. Next screener rejects for another reason not detected by the first. Fine make changes. Next post rejected for over sharpening and something else?
This is getting ridiculous. Images are now at camera settings and being rejected for over sharpened. Recent times I had a high acceptance rate. I have not changed anything in processing yet now none get passed.
Every photographer has different display settings. Every screener has different display and settings. Where is the consistency. What one person see on their screen will be different to a high % of viewer.
So now I'm at the point where an image must have blur added to get passed these over zealous screeners.

Re: Screener inconsistency
Got a lot of Oversharpened as rejection reason these days as well, but I don't know why the photos were still being rejected for Soft after reducing the sharpness by not much.

Screener in question got a new monitor recently? :p

Fully agree, had the same experience recently. Image rejected for "blurry/oversharpened" -> appealed and rejected for being "soft", edited again and rejected for being "oversharpened", edited again with slightly less sharpening and rejected again for "blurry/soft", edited again with previous settings and got accepted. All I did (beside fixing the additional "overexposed" rejection reason) was adjusting the sharpening within a range of +/- 3%!
To me it also seems that there's currently no screening consistency and that it's more important to reject images rather than accept them.

Hi Andreas,
Was the experience you mentioned with the OY-KAT?

Re: Screener inconsistency
I just stopped uploading after 13 years exactly for that reason. Take a look at my recent odyssee. It became more and more a waste of time.

Yes.
Re: Screener inconsistency
Hi Andreas,
I've had a look at your OY-KAT images and agree you got the raw end of the deal so to say. The original upload was just a bit soft and the appeal result was correct in my eyes. After that, it should've been an easy acceptance. Sorry for all the trouble.

Re: Screener inconsistency
I am having the same trouble and I got "Oversharpned" and then edited the sharpness and rejected for softness, blurry and compression (Photo ID5131229 "VH-YSJ") as this is a first rego in the database.
I also appealed a photo rejection and got no email as to the reason why my appeal was rejected?????
How long must one spend editing a single photo just to make it perfect for airliners.net

There's no correct answer to that question. But how about - as long as it takes for the image to reach a.net acceptance standards?
The better the in-camera image, the less time it should take to edit. If you're spending an hour to edit an image in order to upload it here, then you're doing something wrong with the camera or your post-processing workflow is way too complex.
