Hi Guys, could anyone have any issue with photos taken with an iPhone 14 and posted on Adobe, because all my photos have been rejected but accepted on all the others photo libraries?

Hello,

From my viewpoint, it's too dark, just a bit.

If you are using Lightroom on your phone, make sure you use the Lightroom camera app, to get the camera to save in raw.

If you use the native camera app, it will not save in raw.

Also, what is really important for Adobe, is its commercial use! The photo should have practical applications.

Fair enough, we all got different taste

Thanks

As you have seen the hard way, Adobe is much more stringent and accepts only pictures that are top quality. I know that is not always true, but many are doing this experience, me included, when other stock image sellers accepted and Adobe rejected them.

It's underexposed in the shadows, and shooting in harsh sunlight has created a few blownout hot spots as well.

That's exactly what I have done, as usual with my Fuji or iPhone 14, I used RAW mode and edited with PS

Thanks for your time

    Great! This will definitely improve your chances of acceptance by Adobe Stock. Take a look at the histogram, though, as it will help you to assess the exposure issue.

    IMO, your image is a tad underexposesed (too dark). 

     

    Adobe Stock has higher quality standards than other stock services.  Stock customers expect highest visual & technical quality for use in commercial projects.   Read these links.

     

    Hope that helps.

      Thanks Nancy for your swift answer.

      If it's a bit darker, that's on purpose because it looks stronger after trying a lighter version, but I can understand we all got different taste, but in other cases apparently I had an issue with quality but comparing to some of the photos I took with my Fuji XT-1 I was a bit surprised, so that's why I am wondering if there is an algorithm problem.

      If you're serious about using your iPhone for stock photography, shoot in RAW mode, and edit each image in LRC or PS prior to submitting. The iPhone applies it's own in-camera photo processing which you have no control over unless you switch to RAW.
