My support photos appear corrupted in Wayfarer, but never the primary photo.

Level 10 account which got access to seeing my own submissions today, which is awesome.

Although it's made me see that many of my support photos are corrupted, with the colours turned into a purple mess.

Every submission I've done through Prime has required me to resize the images to under 3MB to not have the submission time out. I thought this might somehow explain it, except I've been resizing both the main image and support image and it seems there must be something else going wrong.

Does anybody know if what I see here is what reviewers are seeing? This portal was rejected on the first attempt which seemed odd, since it's a major new attraction (the highest ropes course in the world) and I even found the plans to show it (since it's not yet on Google Maps), but if reviewers are seeing this then that might explain it.

    That's in part why they brought in the 25km radius and use existing image, so you could send when connected better signal.

    1st I've seem of that craziness but within a timeframe you can edit your submissions Maybe with a less corrupt photo

    Might be the file format, I would just call a day on them and just check Wayfarer a few hours after you submit to make sure it didn't happen again. I could understand that getting rejected especially if its not on satellite or street view

  • Yeah on 4G or wifi I have the same problem. Australian internet speeds just can't manage a regular photo in Niantic's timeout timeframe in my experience, though others haven't mentioned it.

    The odd thing is though the main photos don't appear corrupted, despite being downsized in the same way, so it makes me wonder if supporting photos are processed differently.

    Yeah Aussie here to and I know back when prime first got submissions I was lowering my camera to like 1mp to avoid timeout. But havnt had any issues like that for ages. Just right-off those ones and watch your next ones so you can pick it up quick in case it happens again.

    Maybe take a separate support pic to use in the edit function later incase
