Yeah, I've had the have a love-hate relationship from day one with iStock. They at least offer the best sales for me. Like one of the other posters here, lately, I've been having rejects because of too much alleged artifacts. I shoot in RAW, output to 16-bit TIFF and save out to jpeg at 100%. I don't know what else I can do. I never see the artifacting they are talking about and I do view the images at 100%. I have taken to submitting more rejects to Scout. If anything, those higher on the food chain can see what their inspectors are doing.
None of the so-called incentives have inspired me to go exclusive.
