all of my uploads are being rejected

I have been an active contributor on Adobe Stock for a while, and I have always made sure to submit high-quality content that adheres to all guidelines and requirements. However, recently I’ve noticed that all of my files are being consistently rejected even those that are similar to or even better than files that were previously accepted I have tried all types of content vectors background images technology related visuals, health all of them are being rejected without exception.

    You are not alone. The forum is filled with contributors experiencing similar problems regarding rejections. If the asset you uploaded was rejected for quality issues (as opposed to being too similar to other assets), I suppose I'd comment that it seems over-saturated on the yellow end, but there hasn't been a lot of logic lately as to the reasons for otherwise perfectly good assets being rejected.

    The image is good but, I do see one mistake. The light on her arm is wrong. Her arm should be in shadow.

    You are not alone, many contributors work very hard to upload high quality asset that adhere all AS guideline, but still get rejected, even your uploaded assets are better than existing asset on AS.

    For example, a buyer had asked refund for an AI asset sold via below portfolio:

    https://stock.adobe.com/de/contributor/200498799/cleverstock?load_type=author&prev_url=detail

    You can see many AI asset in this portfolio are low quality. Those assets  will be rejected immediately as per current moderator's review standard. 

    We lots of contributors are working very hard to provide high-quality asset to be approved, but it is frustrating to see low-quality AI assets still available for sell without cleaning/ removal.

    The fact that this account is still up is insane. Especially when there are people uploading actual photography and videography and being subjected to such massively high QC. Meanwhile this person that actually managed to upset a buyer to the point of them complaining and getting a refund not only has their account still up, but also has AI images with mutated hands and perspective problems still on sale.

     

    So Adobe is telling us mutated AI generated humans are accepted even if buyers end up complaining, but our regular submissions get rejected for "quality issues". What a joke this place is becoming.

      Be nasty and report the assets on the stock forum.

      This is a common complaint for the last few weeks. My reject rates for real photographs (which I've been submitting for 8 years) have soared from ~5% to 40%, so I've decided to stop submitting new work for now until we find out why Adobe has made this change to somewhat arbitrarily reject new submissions.

       

      In the case of the sample you've supplied, I'd say that when zoomed to 100%, focus on the face is soft, and the image appears oversaturated.
