Every single photo from batch upload rejected for "Technical Issues"

Hello,

Well, I'm going to disagree with my fellow commentators. I've downloaded a few pics just really to check for sharpness, and I think they are sharp! They are not out of focus! This drone has a good camera - Hasselblad. Exposure is generally fine as well. You could make some adjustments with some images - highlights and shadows. Adobe is picky, but not ridiculously so! 

From my perspective, I think the main issue is with the sensor size - generally speaking. The problem occurs when enlarged as it could be when used for commercial purposes; if one wanted to crop a certain area, and made it bigger, due to the fact of the sensor size, in this camera's case 4/3 (mainly), problems can begin to occur. So, as they have been saved in JPEG format (I assume?) when enlarged you begin to see JPEG compression artifacts. This is what probably is giving an 'unfocused' look as pointed out by the others.

So, I think rather, they were rejected more to do with having artifacts than focus and exposure.

For video work, this is great. One doesn't zoom in with video production. But, with photography - it's a different story.

I would suggest taking photos with DNG - this drone supports it (if you haven't done it already). Make corrections using Lightroom (Classic), and then save as a JPEG file, rather than the camera saving directly to JPEG.

Smartphone cameras have the same problem due to the sensor size. 

Hi @CamTheSnapper,

How did you check these files before uploading? Did you zoom to between 100 and 200%?

When you zoom you will notice that the first file is out of focus and noisy. The highlights on the horizon could tone down a bit.

The second file is sharper, but also noisy  - both luminance and chromatic noise. The perspective of the building is not correct. That needed lens correction.

The same issues are common throughout all your files. I believe you used a drone to take these photos. While drones are designed to handle a little depth, depending on the height you take the photo from, you will not get sharp images because of the inability to adjust aperture for greater depth. Therefore, you'll find that some distant subjects will not be detailed enough for stock photography.

I suggest you read-up on the Adobe Contributor Guidelines and Seven tips to get your photos accepted. Also get further details on the requirement for stock photography and how you can achieve them. 

Best wishes

I reviewed the first few photos and agree with @Jill_C about the technical issues being present.  Noise, over and under exposed areas, soft focus in spots.  There is also noticeable lens distortion in the ones I reviewed.

Make sure to zoom in to between 100% - 200%, that's where the technical flaws really show themselves.

They are interesting enough photos, but Adobe is looking for technically perfect photos.

I hope the next round gets accepted!

1. Blurry, overexposed 

2. Also not sharply focused, and some blown highlights

3. Same here - a lot of overexposed areas

4. similarly, not sharply focused 

I didn't look at the rest. I would recommend uploading just 4-6 images at a time, then wait for results before uploading many similar images. In that way, you can learn what is acceptable and save yourself the time of titling and keywording images that are going to be rejected.
