| I'm curious as to how submissions are reviewed, namely the time-frame in which this is done. I have 5 photos that have been waiting close to 2 months for review, yet a photo I submitted a couple weeks ago was approved within days. Even more odd is that I usually submit in groups of 4 or 5, and some will be approved right away, while the others seem to be forgotten about. Does anyone else have this experience? Is there something I should be doing differently? I know Keith and Paul are busy, and I don't mind being patient, this just seems weird tho.

| Great question Amber, especially considering the great quality of content you have been adding to Zymmetrical.
here are the elements that trigger our editing response team:
- Keywords: We first always look at visuals that are properly keyworded. No Keywords puts you at the end of the queue.
- Quality : File size , no artifact , no noise, no ugly enhancements is also extremely important.
- Content: is the visual of commercial value ? You would be amazed how often this doesn't happen.
- Value: Is the visual appropriate for midstock? Would someone pay a premium price, compared to microstock, for the visual.
-Timing: If your image is about Christmas and it was submitted in March, there is a good chance it will be accepted, but not as fast as a bunny picture.
- Originality : If your visual is different than what is currently offered on Zymmetrical, it will be processed much faster.
- Content: Visuals need to fill a need. Is your art fulfilling someone immediate interest ?
Hope this helps..
If not, let us know and we would be more than happy to explain further.

| Is there a easier way to see your rejected photos.
Maybe I am not looking in the right place but it seen ridiculous to have to look through all you port to find the rejected ones.

| | Sure, just click on the word 'Status' at the top of the approval status column in the Submissions Manager. This will sort the submissions by their approval status: Waiting, Rejected or Approved. | |

| | Thanks Paul, I really appreciate that! =) I'm sorry to have to ask you such a basic question, I feel like I should be able to figure this one out on my own, but how do I add keywords to my image? I did this once after an image was accepted, but the format's changed and I'm not sure how to anymore. And I never knew we could before it was accepted to begin with. I've looked at the forums and the wiki info, but to no avail. I haven't been using the ftp to upload my images tho, maybe that's why? Thanks for your help! | | | |

| Amber, did you check the Art Manager? http://www.zymmetrical.com/account/artmanager/
'Update tags' should lead you the page to update keywords for a particular file. Note that we have a major upgrade for this area coming soon (number one priority: batch updates). | | | |
