I just noticed that one of my images had the keywords for an entirely different image - one of the situations where I would have welcomed a rejection :)

You can re-keyword it. Just go to "Status of Submitted Photos," "Approved," find the batch it's in and click on the little pencil to edit the keywords.

I did that - would never, ever have noticed except was putting stuff on a new site that doesn't handle iptc very well ;0

Lol! I bet anyone who has had a rejection for keywording would not like to be reading this!! :-)

Oh I've done that on a few occasions when the keywords were being imported into the editor as one huge keyword. Had to copy and paste from the file and for some reason that didn't take and the last set of keywords I copied and pasted would be in there. Didn't notice one that I did like that until a month or so ago on an image that was online for over a year.

That's what probably happened - sometimes would copy and paste from the big block but sometime the copy bit didn't work...

The new editor is supposed to make it easy to copy and paste the same keywords to similar images, but it also makes it easy to mess things up if you accidentally select another image before you paste. Been there, done that! :(

Reviewers not looking at keywords is one of the biggest problems in microstock.
