I have had issues with Adobe Stock rejecting some of my images that other stock sights ready accept. These images are often rejected due to "ILLUSTRATIVE EDITORIAL ISSUE" reason. Not sure what that means exactly or why it applies to the subject matter that I have submitted. One reason for my confusion is that I can find the EXACT same locations taken by other photographers already approved on your site for purchase.
I spend a lot of money and time traveling to these locations, photographing the subject matter and then completing the post-processing only to have it rejected.
Why is mine rejected when others have been approved? And how do I prevent the wasted effort going forward?
One of my biggest sellers on your platform is the Utah capitol building in Salt Lake City. Why is this subject matter acceptable and yet a Masachusetts' lighthouse off of much traveled Cape Cod not accepted?
