Can you determine from several images which image was not accepted and which was accepted? 🙂

Don't worry, when you refused to determine which work was accepted and which was not, I immediately realized that you were messing with my head, and not only me!   :))

This doesn't refute anything!
We all would have been boasting about such packshots for the past year until we met him! %))))
And you are still lucky that you haven’t met him! %))))))

Who is “him”?

A moderator who likes to jokingly reject half of the works!  %)))

We don't play games. We can determine why a picture needs to be rejected, not if it got rejected.

I asked Nancy OShea a question, why are you answering instead? 🙂
If you cannot do this, then you cannot know the true reasons for the deviation!
It is not clear why you do not want to admit the fact of random deviations! This refusal also confirms that you do not understand this topic!
Otherwise, you would easily admit that, for example, there is no difference in quality between two works. And why one was accepted and the other not is really not clear!

I've looked at some of the size reduced pictures posted here, and even that they are reduced in size, I found reason to reject them. 

 

Again, and again and again, and only for you: moderation is done by humans. Even that Adobe tries to get consistent decisions, humans tend to decide one way or another, based on many factors. One factor is if they just start their workday or end their workday. So the same moderator may refuse an image based on noise in the morning, and let it pass in the evening. That is called karma. It's not, however, a major problem. A lot of us have near 100% acceptance because they submit only the best assets.

 

There is one regular mantra here: suddenly, I get more refusals, even that my pictures are getting better.

Until now, we were able to detect error in all those refused assets. Most often, the errors are very visible. One contributor simply blurred the faces of people and said, he had done that since ever, and the assets got accepted.

 

It may be true that the assets got accepted, but it still is an error to do so. If they got accepted before, the moderator did a bad job. That does not invalidate the quality criteria that are established.

I didn’t ask you this question!
And what does this have to do with games? If you really understand image errors, you won't have a hard time spotting them!
You can find a blot in anything! Give me the highest quality photo that is in the top sellers and I will find a reason why it can be rejected!
And why is it so difficult for you to accept that rejected and accepted images may indeed not have any rejection criteria?

The fact is that this was the case until recently, when refusals were based on false reasons! 🙂 now something has changed! %)

I have encountered this myself, and have seen more than one complaint, although this concerned AI content.
Your case with photos destroys the "conspiracy theory" against AI content 🙂
But one way or another, I suspect that a new moderator has appeared who simply rejects half of the works. Probably, if there are a lot of them, then it’s easier to just reject half. 🙂

Your conspiracy theories start to get annoying.
