On the other hand, the editorial caption rejections from other sites are frequently silly. They want to play at being news agencies without understanding what that means and then set rigid caption styles when any half-baked news agency would edit the captions for house style itself as long as the required information was there.

exactly - the rigid captioning is just plain silly - there's basic info like what, where, when, but i doubt many buyers would decline to buy because someone used Sep rather than SEP, or placed the date after the place. combine that w reviewers who just dont know what they're doing and it's pathetic.

And let's not forget a missing comma, or (in some cases) the inclusion of a state name -- yes, I've seen rejections for that, too.

Best of all, the 1000s of Getty ("EdStock") photos recently (and continually) added use a different caption format, one that would be rejected if used by an iStock contributor!

Hi All,

The commission will always be 50% nett, either Editorial or RF.

Just had to quote this, maybe for future reference.

That's a photo of a photo, I wouldn't shoot that in ANY case. So what, we can start now taking shots of all the posters or photos from Jim Morrison to Lady Gaga and get sales out of that? So lame.

As someone well pointed above, if I shoot editorial it wouldn't be for micros anyway.

That's one way of looking at it, but I didn't see it like that obviously. This is my editorial caption. "A mounted poster of the English rock band The Beatles. No other group in history has generated more public thirst for merchandise than did The Beatles."

Hence the editorial value.
