I've been working on a large library of PNG files that I've developed from my own photography. I've been primarily focused on natural elements such as; plants, flowers, birds, leaves, etc. Would this be the place for it, or should I consider uploading elsewhere? I've never uploaded my work before, however it's quite the nice collection and would be a shame not to let others utilize it.

Compare your work with current Stock inventory to see how well it holds up against other contributor's submissions.

I mention this because unfortunately, plants, leaves, flowers & animals are the most common submissions to Stock. These keyword categories are fiercely competitive with millions & millions or prior submissions. The trick is getting noticed and having what people want. Ensure that whatever you submit is as good or better than what's represented and distinctive enough that people will want to buy it. Keyword selection is important too as that's how customers find what they're looking for. Good luck!

Thank you. Yes, I definitely have a bit of homework before submitting. I know the standards are high, as they should be. I think my more intricate ones are the most marketable from what I've read. I do have some pretty standard ones that are not all that interesting and take all of a second to remove the background. Probably nothing your average person isn't capable of doing. Still they are part of my library. I think in the future I will look for more interesting, complex specimens. which I determined quite a while ago. Those are typically the ones I'm most proud of. While some of those can take me a day to remove the background, those may be the most appealing to this community and have a better chance of paying off. I took a long around and whether or not I'm not searching it correctly, did not see as much as I expected I would. Perhaps there is a reason for that and they are not highly marketable on this platform, therefore not often accepted. I guess that is what I'm trying to determine. Either way, I will try. If I learn something or how to improve my work, then it's still a win for me. I'm also trying to determine of individual uploads are best or whether I should consider selling the library as a whole. Whether here or elsewhere. Thanks for all the input. It really helps. Eventually, I'd like to be a qualified contributor to the Adobe community, even if it takes me a while to get there.

Your pictures need to be in acceptable quality, and your cutouts need to be clean. If that is the case, you can try uploading. I would go slowly, uploading one to five files and wait for the result of the check-up. Analyze the rejections and decide how to further proceed.

Thank you so much and for the additional information. I will definitely read everything before I proceed. Hopefully, my cutouts measure up, but if not, I suppose I'll learn why and do it better the next time.

Adobe Stock does accept png images now, so go ahead a upload a few at a time to make sure the quality level is acceptable before you put a lot more effort into it.

Thank you. I will be concious of quality and give each one a once over before uploading. On rare occasions, something may need to be tweeked, but overall, I think that they are pretty good. Let's hope so.
