it is also frustrating to correct a specific rejection reason, resubmit and then get the resubmission rejected for a totally different reason. If there is more than one reason then please list it.
That's true, this can be frustrating. But keep in mind, that different screeners will judge - for example - a borderline softness of a pic as still acceptable, while the next might think, it's too soft. Or, a specific problem became more apparent on the second processing. Now, try to define "too soft" in a way, that ~30 screeners and all photographers understand it 100%. Good luck!
unless all the screeners used identical monitors with the same calibration then there will always be the 'human factor' in accepting or rejecting an image. The 'judging' of pictures is very subjectve as many years as a camera club member has shown.
My point was that it is very time consuming for photographers to keep having to rework an image one rejection reason at a time and for screeners with it being screened and possibly rejected each time.

Paul it is possibly for you to cause even more harm the second time editting an image. If we reject an image for "soft" then you oversharpen it, then odds are it will be rejected for oversharpened and grain. It is a concept that for some reason few people understand. When you are fixed a picture for a rejection reason you can introduce more problems.

Also remember that while post processing to correct a previous rejection reason you may very well be putting yourself in a situation where the shot can now be rejected for another reason due to poor post processing...
Edit: Pretty much the same statement that Mark is making.
Maybe but when I resubmit a shot I always go back to the original image and start again bearing in mind the rejection reason when post processing. The batch from LHR that I am currently working on were taken RAW (first time) and so the learning curve is a bit steep whilst using and learning the RAW software.

Even when starting from the original image, it is possible to be rejected for other reasons. You can increase the saturation, or contrast too much if you had a rejection. You can oversharpen it, or leave it still soft.
The RAW software I use has the facility to take a snapshot of each corrected image so it is very easy to see exactly what was done to cause the rejection and not make the same mistake when re-processing. (good theory - lets see if I can get it to work)
