Question

Image rejection due to quality issues.

Hey everyone! I’m an Adobe Stock contributor, and recently, a few of my uploaded images were rejected due to "quality issues." While I strive to maintain high standards in my work, I’d love to understand more about what might be causing these rejections.

I've included some of the rejected images in this post. Suppose you have experience with Adobe Stock or stock photography in general. In that case, I’d appreciate your honest feedback or suggestions on what might be going wrong, be it focus, noise, lighting, composition, or anything else.

Your insights could really help me (and others) improve and avoid similar rejections in the future. Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot for your honest input! It’s really helpful to see where I went wrong so I can avoid making the same mistakes next time. I’m learning a lot through this process.

The skin is quite bad for a 29 years old: 

What is important with the refusal reason is "quality issues". The rest of the text just tells you about possible reasons, but it is not targeted to your precise asset. Check your assets at 100%, and you will see the many issues with your pictures. Correct them, before resubmitting (and correct all of them!). If you can't correct, do not submit.

These should also be submitted as jpgs, not pngs.
