By pictures i mean real life stock pictures keep getting rejected on adobe stock, i don't know if adobe stock has completely shifted their focus towards AI generated pictures and vectors but the fact that the one and only image that i submitted here got rejected within 6 hours after submission and it was selected by other big stock websites which makes me believe that it was not rejected by a moderator but by a automated bot or something which further makes me think that adobe has somewhat stopped giving that much importance to the stock contributions of a real life stock images captured by a camera since on adobe stock website as well not more than 1000 results appear per search whereas on other big stock websites results goes upto 20,000 regarding a certain search, do you guys think the same? should we as well jump into creating AI generated images and illustrations to thrive on this stock website?

Image Quality for commercial use is a broad subject with many factors including but not limited to proper lighting, focal distance, camera angle, color balance and overall image clarity. 

 

If you want meaninful feedback from the user-to-user community, post 1 or 2 rejected full-sized images here.

 

In the meantime, review the image requirements in your Stock Contributor User Guide.  Adobe Stock customers expect the highest visual and technical quality for use in commercial projects -- print, digital and textiles.

You could read this. It's about what the current trends are:

As for AI-generated images, you have to look very closely at the generative images, because when you do, you notice quite a lot of errors, which are not apparent at first glance.

Creating AI images is not as easy as people think!! (Because people do.)

Mate i can understand that creating AI generated images is hard but you didn't understood the question or discussion i am trying to do, i am trying to to figure out if adobe has started to consider and started to give more importance to AI generated images over real life images captured by photographers.

I don't think that preference is given to AI. 

Adobe tends to be a lot more strict in their moderation, so in terms of quality issues for a photo, there are numerous things to look for.

Colour balance

Artefacts

Noise

Composition

Focus

Exposure

Whether the horizon is straight and so on.

If you have a good photo, it won't be rejected.

It's not so much that Adobe has shifted their focus, but rather that the market has changed, and as a result, there is a flood of AI images on the market, probably more than digital photos.

I submit AI generated images and I'm noticing that 40% of my images are rejected. It sounds like they are rejecting real-life and AI generated. When it is rejected with such a broad term of 'quality issues' then it does not give me enough information to correct the problem. I'm ready to stop submitting all together because I do not know what the problem is or how to correct it. Are they giving you more specific information? Or are they just saying 'quality issues'?

the same thing is happening to me with images generated with artificial intelligence, what I'm getting is quality problems.

Good to know. I've been trying to understand what to look for but so far not figuring it out. If I were a photographer then maybe I could spot the issues.
