Hello,

I keep getting rejections for basically everything I upload. I create AI generated photrealistic images and have no idea, why they are being rejected.
I think, I petty much follow the rules...Might there be a problem with tagging?
Who knows, what might be the reason.
I attach 2 sample pictures...

Thx for any advise...

AI is not intelligent. It makes many mistakes, especially with details & technical quality.

A 90% rejection rate implies that you're throwing everything at Stock to see what sticks. It doesn't work that way.

Don't assume everything AI generates is good enough for Stock. It isn't.
Don't assume you can succeed at Stock without work & talent. You can't.
Before you submit, compare your work with other Stock inventory.

Is your work as good or better than what Stock has?
As a customer, would you buy it?

You didn't indicate the reason for rejection, but drawing errors are evident, so it's easy to see that the rejection reason on these is "quality". The airplane image has jagged edges and haloing everywhere, as well as drawing details that don't make sense. You must zoom in to at least 100% on every image and inspect carefully from corner to corner to see such errors. If you can't edit them out, move them to the trash pile.

You are right. I will have to do more investigation on the images. I don't upload everything...I see many mistakes, but obviously I am not looking close enough.
I am new as a contributor, so I must learn. Tvx for your helpful input.

It appears. you are uploading your images as pngs. They should be jpgs.

I do upload jpgs. But it appears, that Adobe is very strict, which is probably a good thing...:) ...I think, I have to put a lot of retouch in AI images.
Thanks for the remarks.

Yes. 99.99999% of AI images will need some degree of editing. Always review your AI assets at 100% or even 200% to locate issues. And keep in mind that it only takes one issue to result in a rejection.
