HOW TO UPLOAD A PHOTO FOR RECONSIDERATION THAT WAS NOT PUBLISHED ON YOUR FIRST SUBMISSION. ( Finalized on Feb. 16, 2015)
1. Begin by making significant changes to the photo before you re-submit it.
2. Leave the original photo, which was not published in your portfolio. It must be present to enable the Curator to make a comparison between the Original and the Remake.
3. Upload the new version into your portfolio.
4. When the next screen comes up fill in the title. Use the same title as you did for the original photo, but this time - at the end of the title - add the word REMAKE in caps.
5. In the box below it labeled Photo Description
Indicate all the changes that have been made to the photo.
Please be specific, and list each change.
6. Set the category, click to set the nude filter, indicate if it is for sale and then click on save.
7. Go to your gallery and open the photo.
8. Then go to the Cogwheel and from the drop down menu choose ‘submit to Curators’
9. Your resubmission will now go through the member curation process, and at the end be sent to the Curators. Due to the fact that you have indicated it is a remake, they will go to your portfolio, and check for the original photo in order to evaluate the changes you have made.
10. If your photo is not published on this second submission you will have two in your portfolio and you can delete one or both if you wish.
11. If it is published you will see the new one on the Front page, and in your portfolio. The new one will have all the comments on it and ratings. If the old one is still there you can of course delete it.
12. EXCEPTION: There is one exception to this process. If a Curator contacts you and requests that you remove a border, or copyright or any thing else, then follow their instructions, and when you upload it again go to ‘re-upload’ rather than ‘submit to curators’. This will replace the photo, which is different from a resubmission where the original photo has remained.
Other Things to Consider
1. It is not to your advantage to remove the original photo if you have made significant changes to your original. You will have lost the opportunity for a comparison by a Curator, and your extra work will not be seen as such.
2. To have a photo published which was previously rejected is rare. It is recommended that you be selective in your resubmissions.
3. If you would like to have some additional opinions about your photo you can send it to the Critique section. The purpose of the Critique section is not to remake a photo so that it can be published. Rather it is to be used if you would like to receive other views and possibly improve your skills.
