Stay Tuned: New features for Accepted Images

 

by Yvette Depaepe
Published the 18th of February 2026

 


We are continuing to improve 1X.

  • We have now introduced certificates for accepted images. We have also added QR codes to all certificates, which you can use to validate them with your phone camera.

  • It is now possible to sell accepted images as prints as well.


Practical information based on two examples of Accepted Images

EXAMPLE 1.

 

‘The Forest Chapel’ by Miro Susta

 

Your photo has been Accepted and can be viewed by our visitors on your portfolio or by direct link


 
Go to 'Actions' to re-generate your certificate
 
 

 QR codes to all certificates, which you can use to validate them with your phone camera.

 

 

Don't forget to mark your images 'For sale'  if you want to sell them as prints as well
 
 

EXAMPLE 2.

 

‘Monkey Business’ by Ralf Stelander



 

Your photo has been Accepted and can be viewed by our visitors on your portfolio or by direct link


 
Go to 'Actions' to re-generate your certificate


 

 QR codes to all certificates, which you can use to validate them with your phone camera



 

Don't forget to mark your images 'For sale'  if you want to sell them as prints as well

 

 


Same instructions for all Accepted images.

 

‘They are coming 5’ by Vanja Tajnsek



'Tranquil' by George Li

 
 
'A small Hammock?' by Ann Katrin Karlsson

 

 

 

STAY TUNED for more features coming up soon.

I think it is a step in the right direction to allow selling them. I love the idea of the QR codes. Perhaps now it would be nice to understand if there is a cut off criteria to classify a photo as Accepted, Published or Awarded. I may have missed that information. Thank you.

Interesting development. So when it comes to curation, will there be a choice of “Accept”, adding to the current “Reject - Publish - Sublime”?
Greetje van Son PRO
That is a good improvement on 1x.com. Thank you for this information and explanation Yvette. One question: what means: Downloas SD?
Miro Susta CREW
In my opinion it is very good idea, I fully agree with Elizabeth comment, I might one question/suggestion, why not award such photos with, for example around 20 points? Just my suggestion. And thank you Yvette for using my photo in this introduction.

Sincere thanks for this validation of images in the Accepted category. I have seen many Accepted images that seem just as worthy as some published images. Some members have voiced disapproval of the category in the forum, but personally I would not submit a photo for curation that I wouldn't be happy to see in my portfolio. Thank you again!
