What do Blurry, Dark and Flagged mean?

Chips on a queue tile: Blurry and Dark are picture quality; Flagged means the content check wants a person to look before it is published.

On the photo queue, a tile can carry one or more chips in the corner. They are independent — a sharp photo can be Flagged, and a blurry one can be perfectly fine to publish.

• Blurry — the photo was measured as out of focus when it was processed. It is a quality label, never a judgement of what the picture shows.
• Dark — it was measured as too dark. Candlelight, a first dance, a sparkler shot: all of those can pick up this chip and still be the photo you want on the wall.
• Flagged — the automated content check was not sure, so the photo is held for you or a moderator. It is not published until someone approves it. Approving records that human review, and the flag does not come back.
• Safety check in progress — the automated check has not finished with this photo yet. You can approve it now; it appears once the check passes, and the chip then reads Approved — waiting for its safety check.

Worst quality first on the photo queue puts the blurriest frames at the top, so a pass through a large queue can start with the ones least likely to belong on the slideshow. Photos that have not been scored yet lead that list, because they have not been measured. Oldest first returns the usual order, with the photo that has waited longest at the top.

To act on several chipped photos at once, tick the tiles and use Approve selected or Hide selected. Approving the whole queue with Select all leaves every Flagged photo for you to approve one by one. See How do I approve or hide several photos at once?.
