Hi.

Just got this batch rejected for "Quality Issues"

I don't mass upload. This was a batch of 5 images, all rejected.

Can anyone suggest what where the "Quality Issues"?

Why would you ask for advice and then reject the very good advice you got from people with FAR more accepted images and FAR more sold images than you? I don't quite understand your approach here. It seems that you are simply looking to argue, and not for assistance or advice.

I also upload & sell quite a bit of partly AI-generated work, and I would not have been surprised to see these rejected, had they been my own submissions (although most likely I wouldn't have submitted these, for the reasons already given by others here).

Svetlana - there are flaws in your images. Why do you yourself think they are rejected?

Some defects can escape everyone and it is right to discard, but what I see in the new photos approved on the main site makes me think... I checked the discarded photos and I can't understand where the problem is, there is no noise, composition and right details ditto... maybe some more news on the new rules isn't bad. At least the reason why an image is discarded.

You will not receive feedback from Adobe Moderators regarding specific reasons for rejections. They simply don't have time to do that, and they push the reject button based on the first flaw they see. However, Adobe has provided this forum for Contributors to obtain feedback from other forum participants. Please start a new forum post and upload 2-3 of your rejected images, and we'll respond to that.

Same problem, I always upload 20 max 30 photos to AI every day. I clarify that I have over 16k files (10 years between fotolia and adobe) I'm not new. Either they are perfect or I don't upload them. Usually 1 max 2 photos are discarded... but 70 photos in two days all discarded... whether they are photorealistic illustrations seems exaggerated to me.

Knock on wood, but I'm having the opposite problem. I'm having more images accepted than I have the time to edit and submit. I'm retired and pretty much spend a good 8+ hours a day editing AI and I can't edit anywhere near 20 to 30 images per day, much less title and keyword them. Of course, your subject matter may be completely different from mine and not require as much editing, but without seeing a couple examples, it's all conjecture.

Also, with your shallow DoF technokogy images, there is too little in focus in the image. These have commonly been rejected, even before AI images were a thing. It's pretty easy to add blur in Photoshop.

I believe the technology images are also too dark, and this is reflected by the histogram.

Technology images are to be used as a background. They are uploaded to "Graphic Resources" cathegory.

They are ment to be dark and non distracting. One of the reasons for heavy use of shalow depth of field.

I get it, rejections are hard.

You've asked for our opinions, and we've given them to you. I hope you consider them.

There is both snow and sunshine in both of these images.

Edit: snow falling

If you refer to snow in the air. There is only one image with snow in the air.

Which can be blown by the wind from the ground and not falling from the sky. If we are nitpicking. So totaly plausable.

Your images were rejected for some reason. I think you should reconsider the advice you requested.

I'm not sure what caught the Moderators eye in the first image, but it's quite soft overall. Many of the windows and doors in the second image are not well drawn - lines are not parallel, incomplete, etc.

"but it's quite soft overall" Well that might be the problem. The whole point of the "out of focus areas" that you get with wide aparature is to be "soft".

The only (logical) explanation is that in case their alghoritam checks the images, it sees the image as "missed focus".

Otherwise a real person (reviewer) could make that distinction. At least the ones that have used the camera with wide aparature lenses.

Come to think of it, i did get a rejection on the same issue with some backgrounds i did. They had very heavy "bokeh".

No other apparent flaws.

As for the windows. They are by AI image generations standard "perfect".

"As for the windows. They are by AI image generations standard "perfect".

AI assets are not judged according to AI standards. If you are attempting to create AI generated images that are intended to be photorealistic, they will be judged according to the standards of photography. The windows were the primary reason for that particular image to be rejected. Period.

There us no algorhythm checking images. It is done by humans.

I think it's safe to say, the moderators are trained to understand depth of field. In the snow image, I'd remove the "snow" since it isn't heavy enough to look like it's really snowing and comes across to me as specks of dust. If I were to buy this image, the first thing I would was remove the specks of "snow." I'm not saying it's a bad image because of the snow. I'm saying it was rejected because of the snow. It's also a tad on a blue side, and since the sun is illuminating the snow, I would expect to see a slight yellow cast.

Forgot to add. These are AI generated with SD. Only upscale during the generation, so preaty much no "after the fact upscale" issues. Used SDXL models that has large "native" resolutions.
