How do you know it is "exposure problem and apparently too much filter" exactly? So far as I know Adobe won't say to that level of detail.

Because of this generic sentence: Common issues that can impact the technical quality of images include exposure issues, soft focus, excessive filtering or artifacts/noise. Learn more about our technical requirements here.

If you get rejected for quality issues, you should post your image here, as submitted. It's probably got correctly refused. And in no case, refusals are “unfair”. They may be unjustified, refused by error, but fairness has nothing to do with that. Even Mat Haywards from Adobe has thousands of refusals… of his most likely high-volume portfolio. It would be unfair, if he had no refusals!

Perhaps that's part of the problem. 

 

All digital photography requires some post-editing.  Exposure, color, white balance,  and other imperfections must be removed prior to submission.  Stock is not social media.  It's a business.  Customers come here expecting technically perfect images for commercial use. They won't buy images that need color-correction, etc....  That's the photographer's job.  😉

 

Read your Stock Contributor User Guide. 


If you need feedback, post 1 or 2 full-sized images and the reason Stock rejected them. Images that can be fixed in post can be re-submitted.
