Hi everyone. So this is samples of the images I sent to Adobe Stock for reviewing and I just don't understand why they was rejected because of a quality problems. Can you help me to understand? Maybe it was a mistake and I should try to send them again or maybe with some improvements?

I like the colors but your images are underexposed. And your white balance should be perfectly neutral. See below for more details.

Hi,

many things are already said, but I think that the technical Quality was the main issue. I would suggest some underexposed Images overall with not so much detail in the Snow Parts. Hope that helps.

These are pretty images, and if they were in sharp focus with no visible noise would have been accepted. However, since you have not provided the actual images that were submitted to Adobe, there's not much point in trying to do any further analysis.

Hello,

My suggestion would be the white balance. Try to get the snow to be white. It will be easier for the user to add their own colour effect - how much of a sunset tone they would like to add. Also, perhaps you might need to do some noise reduction.

Also, check your exposure. They could be brightened up a bit - maybe do some selective brightening.

Ok you did not send us the originals (you say the originals were JPEG). To help you we need to see the original pictures, so we can look at each pixel, like Adobe.

Nice photos but the focus is off a bit. Also, the files should be jpeg, not png. Png is only for transparent backgrounds.

of course pngs are just screenshots for samples and they're in 100% magnification. Files for stock are in jpg. Slightly disappointed, seems for me that the focus is not that bad and its 24mp image. Anyway, thank you, Ralph

Hi @seregaegorov,

So if I understand you well, the two last are screenshots at 100% ?

Feel free, to share with us, whatever you want, but you should be aware, that our answers are based on what we see. And what we see is not what you submitted.

The focus has nothing to do with the file resolution. The minimum size to submit to stock is 4Mp, which is nowadays no issue anymore. and indeed, if you are below this, you would not be able to submit.

I would guess, that for both of your pictures, your white balance could be slightly off, that you have noise and at least in the first, that there is chromatic aberration. The only parameter I could check is the white balance, but as also your display software is modifying what you see on screen, I won't check this on my desktop.

BTW: I would not like that assume, that refusals are by error, even that this may happen. IMHO, moderators are quite good at detecting faults in images. But if the faults are limit, it may be that a different moderator will let the image pass. It's no rock science and we can assume, that there is a certain level of interpretation possible.

As a side note: Please use next time a better subject for your post!
