Has Adobe change their acceptance policy to back the Fotolia times?

#1:  Nothing remains the same.  Doing the same things with the same equipment might be OK for a while but eventually you must try new things to remain fresh, relevant & competitive.

#2:  Adobe Stock has thousands more contributors today and 300+ million assets in inventory.  They can afford to be more selective about what they accept into inventory.   That's what their customers pay for.

#3: Equipment and contributors have improved.  As a result, the quality bar has moved higher.

Post 2 or 3 of your images and the reasons for rejection.  We'll examine them and provide you with feedback. 

Maybe they have quality issues and the rejections are warranted. It may be the moderator was more stringent than others. We hear regularly from contributors who think that the submission requirements got lifted. I cannot see any change in this.

If you upload 2-3 of the rejected images here, the Community members will provide feedback as to the specific reasons for rejection.

Adobe has not "suddenly" changed their acceptance standards; however it is a natural evolution to raise standards over time as photography and editing technologies improve. I wouldn't even try to submit the images acquired in 2007-2008 from my entry level Canon DSLR. The other factor to consider is that the Adobe Stock database now contains more than 348 million assets, many of them in oversubscribed categories such as flowers, sunsets, pets, plants, etc. I suspect that submissions in those categories might be held to a higher standard because Adobe just doesn't need more of those...
