What is it asking you to do. I read everything doesn't seem to be a testing button (on a phone)

The other permissions have test and now I'm at a level 6

After a certain number of your submitted scans are approved by those with permissions to review them, you'll automatically get access to approve your own.

How do I obtain image processing permissions?

• Image processing permissions are determined by an algorithm which monitors the quality of image submissions over a period of time. Once a certain threshold is met, access is granted.

  Consistently submitting images which meet the image guidelines and require no additional intervention from other members will raise your score. Submitting images that need to be cropped or rotated by other members or that get flagged as having a problem will lower your score.

  Submitting images, then using the built-in tools to crop or rotate your own images does not negatively affect your score.

I don't know the algorithm and I don't think Admin would reveal it, but you basically have to submit over a hundred consecutive images without anyone cropping or rejecting them.

I think it has to be way more than a hundred unless something's wrong. I'm still waiting for my permission and I've submitted images for over 1.2k different cards. I did have a couple of issues early on, with accidentally sending an image to the wrong card, but I've submitted at least 600-700 cards in a row without any cropping or rejections to my knowledge.

You wouldn't be notified if something was cropped or rotated, and I don't think the system tells you if your images were tagged as Photographed. There may also be something in the algorithm that prevents someone that's only been here three weeks from gaining full access that quick ... not sure.

Account age could have something to do with it, which is obviously understandable. Rotation, cropping and photographed warnings shouldn't be an issue, I'm quite cautious about that and I always use a scanner. Maybe rotation at a stretch but just because I've scanned some Spider-Man cards that may look upside down but they've all appeared in the database in the same orientation I scanned them.

@statsnerd - Considering you have submitted zero images (at least that were accepted), you won't be able to move beyond Level 6. You will need to exhibit a clear pattern of submitting scanned images that need no further work once uploaded.

@Ganonthegreat - Account age might be the reason, and I assume you've already moved up to permission Level 6? If not, you'll need to get there before Admin will allow that next step.

Yeah, I'm at Level 6 permissions.

Shouldn't be much longer then.
