I am curious, who the reviewers are for submissions to Adobe Stock? I don't mean who are the specific individuals, I mean what are the qualifications of the reviewers, their training and where are they located? How does Adobe Stock hire them? I've had some real problems with the quality of Adobe's customer service in general, which seems to be all outsourced to India. After a recent episode in which I was trying to upgrade my Creative Cloud subscription and gave up in frustration, it started me wondering if Adobe is going the same low-cost, low-quality route on its reviewers. If this is the case, it is a disservice to Adobe Stock contributors. It is a waste of our time. I am perfectly accepting of photos being rejected. It is when they are rejected for reasons that are patently wrong that I have a problem. In example, I've submitted photos of landscapes in winter with snow falling. They are rejected for having a "grain/noise problem". I've then shown a number of other people the same photos and those people thought they were beautiful photos -- and they are individuals that have no problem telling me when something is crap. Is it that the reviewers don't know snow on a personal level and can't recognise it as anything other than grain/noise? That's just one example. The reviewers are also very inconsistent. I've taken photos that were rejected and, after a time, resubmitted them to have them accepted on the second time around. I don't have a problem with outsourcing. I've done it myself for a company I've run. I do expect that when you outsource you ensure quality service and ensure that all staff is trained to an acceptable, consistent, and professional level.
