Higher rejection rate with photos

If you'd like a fresh persective on your rejected assets, feel free to post a few for review 🙂

I also haven't noticed a change in acceptance rate.  There have been 4-5 people in the last few months that have posed a similar question that I can recall, but I think that's a very small number compared to what I assume are thousands of other contributors.

Cheers!

Adobe Stock has much higher acceptance standards than other services.

With well over 300 million assets in inventory, they can afford to be picky.

• Customers are #1.
• Contributors who give customers what they want will succeed and enjoy generous opportunities to reach millions of global customers & above average royalty fees & bonuses.

• Those who don't, won't.

It doesn't matter if your asset is accepted today or 3 months from now.  Sales will average out at the end of the year and beyond.

No, my photographs (not AI !) are being accepted at a similar high rate that I've experienced for several years now.

Anyone else seeing a spike in rejected photos? 

 

Granted, I take some odd photos with sometimes limited use (but there is less compitition)....but getting a "AESTHETIC OR COMMERCIAL APPEAL OF IMAGE" or "QUALITY ISSUES" rejection and having the photo already sold on a site that has a faster review process is humorous.

There are some people thinking that there is a higher rejection rate than usual. “Commercial appeal” is an appreciation of Adobe's experience, you may disagree with that. “Quality issues” are detectable issues in your file, that make your assets getting refused.

Having pictures accepted on other sites, is not an argument. Adobes turf, Adobe's rules (refusals)! Good for you to sell on other sites what gets refused here. That may not be unusual. Happens also the other way around.

Is this the new norm now that they are flooded with AI?

By @Lost_in_the_Midwest

Those are independent. AI assets get also refused, and the contributors do not see the defects in their assets. Post a “Quality Issue” asset here and we will have a look at it. You will need the asset as submitted!

Oddly, illistrative editorial pics still get accepted/reviewed like they always have.
