    Processing is just 1 small part of the equation. GenAI content that’s sold for commercial use should be accurate, logical and free of unwanted artifacts. That’s the minimal expectation from paying customers. 

     

    In addition, your content should be unique in some way. That’s hard to do when you’re competing with so many other flowers in inventory. 

    https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=flowers  76.6 million results

    https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=bouquet 12.6 million results

    https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=flower+arrangement 11.7 million results.

     

    Do some homework before you submit again. Find subjects that need representation and then create high quality content to fill that need.

     

    Hope that helps.

    Yeah, I understand what you mean, but just to clarify my designs were rejected because of quality issues, not similarities. I feel like my designs are unique and different from what I saw in the links you shared, and you're right, for people to buy them, the product needs to be perfect, and that’s what I'm working on to improve the quality. Thank you so much for your reply

    Although there may be multiple reasons for refusal, Stock Examiners are not allowed to check more than one box per submission. The review ends at problem #1. 

     

    Keep that in mind if you decide to resubmit under a different file name later. 😉

    Hey ​@Nouzashion 

    The concept is cool.There are a few things that don’t look natural. The large tulip at the bottom doesn’t really have a stem.the other bits just need to be cleaned up and removed.
    Maybe a bit of hue and saturation, a levels layer, adjust the exposure… just to name a few ideas to help sell the image.

    I m not botanist. However, I do have a garden. :) Some of the flowers have extra bits. 
     


    Cheers

    Remember to zoom into your images to find those pesky bits. 
    I mean zoom in 100% + I was zoomed in at 200 or something. Those pesky bits hide in the dark corners. 

    Cheers

    I tried getting into stock photography about 20 years ago with one of the newest agencies at the time.

    Keep in mind at that time I already had over 10 years working as a professional photographer. I submitted about 250 photos, and when I got 90% rejection… lets just say sadness was not how I felt.

    What’s really sad is that I decided stock was not for me.

    The thing about AI generated work in order to be “perfect” requires massive attention to detail, and that requires time.

    My advice is that you put lots of time thinking and conceptualizing what you want to create. Create less work and produce the best quality. Adobe has a lot of advice on that and other topics that will help you find your niche.

    Take your emotions out, and don’t take the rejection personally… and above all, don’t do what I did.

    Today I am celebrating 17 months of committing to creating and submitting stock photos and videos, and while I am not making money to retire, I am experiencing constant growth, and having more fun shooting for my own, that I’ve had in a while.

     

    Best of luck to you!

    Hey, thank you so much for this reply , I really appreciate it . And yes you are right about focusing on the quality more than the quantity . AI digital Art is new to me , I studied graphic design and used to create everything from scratch , and when I decided to design AI art , thought this is so easy comparing to what I used to do , but actually its not, nothing is easy and everything requires more effort in order to have best results .. Thanks so much for ur reply
