Photo Revision
Screeners are responsible for reviewing photos before they are added to our database. Using cutting edge technologies, these team members compare photos against a set of guidelines in order to determine eligibility for photo acceptance. Photo reviewers can review for the main queue, stock queue, or appeal queue.
Information Correction
Certain screeners are also responsible for browsing through the photos page and modifying information that may be incorrect. This is done using a terminal, through which screeners are able to directly modify the database.
