My photos are not intentionally accepted

  • April 20, 2023

Close to 100 tulips and squirrels photo I sent were rejected for lack of "quality". As someone whose thousands of photos have been accepted before, I know well the quality standards in photography. While these photos were accepted on all stock sites and you were accepted before, why were they rejected?

    Correct answer Nancy OShea

    Definitely. Believe me, he did not accept the photos he accepted before due to quality problems. Self-contradictory inconsistency. Or other problem, but I can't find the authority to contact


    • Stock Reviewers decisions are final. 
    • Nobody can change their minds. 

    • Ruminating about rejections will make you unhappy.  Get over it and move on to other photos.

    Sorry, I will not upload my photo here. Will there be flaws in my photos accepted on 8 stock sites? Photos that are not accepted in Adobe's last submission are of the same quality and same hardware ratings as photos that Adobe has always accepted.

     

    Happy evening..

      That is your choice. If you do not want advice, you won't get it. The question is: why did you post in the first place? Just to get messages of the kind: “I have the same problem”? Well, I don't.

       

      The hardware is not involved in quality issues. And other sites have other moderation practices.

       

      Happy evening.

      So, yes, they were intentionally not accepted because they have quality issues. Without seeing one picture, I can't say what the exact issue is.

       

      If you are new to stock, you should consider these resources: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/tutorials.html
      Please read the contributor user manual for more information on Adobe stock contributions: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/user-guide.html
      See here for rejection reasons: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/reasons-for-content-rejection.html
      and especially quality and technical issues: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/quality-and-technical-issues.html

      I'm not new to stock. I am old user. I've never had a problem like this before with Adobe. As you can see other people are having the same problem with me. All the other 8 stock pages accepted all the same photos.

       

      26 out of 26 photos are not photos to be rejected at the same time. They switched to the confirmation system, which was absolutely intentional or didn't work well.

       

      Anyway thanks for your support and concern.

        same, i used to have like almost 100% approval rate.

        now after they accepting AI its like only less than 50% approved. this week none of my photo are approved.

        so demotivating, i don't think i able to maintain my income now, with the type of assets i upload i only able to upload like 4 items a week. usually i have a cycle, upload new stuff  > get some recent items to the top of search result, get hundreds of download >  started slowing down > then new uploads come... nowadays theres no new upload.

        btw they already approved on other stock site except adobe, just adobe

          Same response here: As indicated to the original poster, if you upload a few of your rejected images here, the community members can provide their opinions as to why they were rejected. Otherwise, just complaining about your rejects accomplishes nothing.

              We have absolutely no idea. We are not Adobe staff and cannot look at your accepted or rejected pictures!

              So, please share 1-3 ORIGINAL pictures (not more) in your reply. Original, not reduced, retouched or watermarked.
