Question

I don’t understand the reasons for the rejection of illustrations

I have uploaded the generated images, following all Adobe Stock guidelines for uploading such images. Soon, all images sent for verification were sent to “not accepted”. The reason is the same everywhere - defocus, incorrect exposure and the like, which cannot be applied to illustrations and doodle backgrounds. I ask you to help solve this problem. I have been a contributor for many years and always follow all upload rules. I have uploaded many images created using generative AI.

Rejected Image files ID:
693969625, 693968464, 693965666, 693962516, 693960622, 693958652, 693957593, 693954201, 693953615, 693953017, 693951882, 69 3950989, 693949207, 693948446, 693947217, 693945984, 693945142, 693944246,
When I tried to write to the online chat, I received the answer - sorry, we are too busy. I couldn't find help on discord either. I don't know what to do to get help.

    Online chat is customer support. You are not a customer. You will need to check with contributor support, but in general they don't comment refusals, only tecnical problems.

     

    The forum here is the correct place. But you need to post the exact refusal reason here. Only the header. The rest is only text that may or may not fit your asset. 

     

    You need to post one or two assets here, the same as submitted. Then you can get comments on the assets, from fellow contributors. They may or may not hit the nail. At the end, it's you who decides.

    I assume that incomplete / missing lines and stray artifacts are the reason for the 2 examples you included.

      Agreed. I always hestitate to critique or give possible reasons for rejections when it comes to vector-based images as I'm just not up to speed on the criteria or the requirements to make judgements on same. But given the real or imagined rise is AI rejections lately, it would appear the moderators are becoming more stringent toward what might seem to others as very minor issues compared to past submissions.

        It's not verctor based. It even looks like generative AI illustrations.

          We are contributors like yourself so we do not have access to your rejected images as listed. And no, Adobe will not and can not be of direct assistance as to pinpointing why images have been rejected, as there is simply no time for their moderators to engage with contributors.

          1. The road to hell is paved with abstracts.  Stock has over 57 million of them (more than they can sell).  

           

          2. Stock customers expect perfection.  Examine every quadrant of your image at 100-300% magnification. Clean up the errors if you can.  Otherwise discard the image or set it aside for another project. 

           

           

          3. Compare 5 of your very best images with current inventory. 

          • Is yours unique? 
          • Is it as good or better than what Stock has currently? 
          • Are the edges hard and easy to select with Photoshop tools?
          • Would you buy it for use in commercial projects? 

          If yes, go ahead & submit.  If not, don't.

           

          That should help reduce your rejection rate.

           

          Good luck.
