Image rejected

There are indeed many unjustified quality rejections these days; however the equipment you use doesn't necessarily guarantee that you're meeting all quality standards. Focus, composition, artifacts, exposure, artifacts etc. can still be missed even with high end equipment. If you would like feedback on specific images, upload a couple here. By the way, AI images are also getting rejected at higher rates lately. 

I dont know hows the checking work but how they can just reject the whole bunch of image taken with A9 + batis 40.

Did the even look at these image ?? they love the AI more for the perfection ????

Even look at mini thumbnail the image is good . Adobe really own me the explanation ???

Whatever you think, you can earn even a refusal when taking pictures with a mid-format Hasselblad camera. The camera is not a guaranty of quality, even that is easier to shoot good pictures with the right camera. And no, you can't check the quality from thumbnail pictures, you need to do pixel peeking.

Quality issues rarely stem from camera or lens quality. Even cell phone images have been accepted into the database. Composition, color correction, excessive grain or noise, over-processing, depth-of-field, and other factors can affect image quality. As @RALPH_L suggested, please upload one or two examples and we can take a look. 

Please upload one or two photos that you think should not have been rejected so that we can judge them. Looking at your thumbnails, which are way too small, I think I can see some issues.

It’s frustrating when high-quality images shot on a professional setup like the Sony A9 + Batis 40mm get rejected, especially when they appear sharp and well-exposed even in thumbnails. Adobe Stock's review process is partially automated but also involves human reviewers, and sometimes good images get rejected unfairly due to system errors or subjective judgments.

Possible Reasons for Rejection

1. Technical Issues (Even if Unjustified)

Adobe might flag images for noise, focus issues, or exposure problems, even if they aren’t obvious.

Sometimes, artistic depth of field (bokeh) gets mistaken for focus issues by automated checks.

2. Similar Content Spam

If multiple similar images were submitted, they may reject them as "too similar" to reduce redundancy
