PR confirmation portal timelines

[SteffyC2]

Hello guys, I have a query regarding the portal photo... When I uploaded the photo, the portal said the photo is too dark, and I noticed that 'photos are too dark' is listed as one of the rejection reasons of photo. So, I used photoshop to increase the brightness a bit. Now one of my friends said they may reject the photo if it is edited. I am really confused and worried.. What do you guys think?

don't edit photos. just get it done by a professional. I'm not sure whether they do it or not. but the details of the photo can be traced from the properties and that probably is the reason why they ask if it is done by a professional or not. we have made it this far. 15 - 20 dollars is worth the opportunity cost/risk.

Congrats, did they mention the reason for not accepting the first photo?

You should take the photo in a professional studio...

don't edit photos. just get it done by a professional. I'm not sure whether they do it or not. but the details of the photo can be traced from the properties and that probably is the reason why they ask if it is done by a professional or not. we have made it this far. 15 - 20 dollars is worth the opportunity cost/risk.

The photo was taken from a photo studio, but when I uploaded the original photo to the portal, I got a message saying - 'Your photo is too dark, please edit it using a photo editing software', that's why I used Photoshop. Anyway, only thing I can do right now is to wait and see if they are accepting it...

But sometimes when I login to the portal, it is not showing my photo at all. Is it a glitch or is it because there is something wrong with my photo?

that's just a glitch. for me, its says pr card has been sent via mail. in the portal, i sometimes don't see the photo. even if i reload it, it says in review. how could they send out pr cards without reviewing it properly. as i understand this, there's something wrong with the way that they handle the photo part from reviewing it. best is to not take any risk on the photo part and pray to get the pr cards asap.
