Rejected Images from Graininess?

Hi there!

I have noticed that I'm getting images rejected due to "graininess". In these shots, the subject is tack sharp, however there is a very shallow depth of field.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Thanks very much

Correct answer joanH

Just had another rejected. Low depth of field and a misty, foggy morning. Do you know...  Is it humans or a computer that determines this?


Hello Slow Ride Photography, Sounds as though you could benefit from reading and using all of the Adobe Guidelines for stock contributors. There is so much information for you there. One photo and one answer from the forum will not do as much good for your work as studying all of the information supplied by Adobe. Adobe has even posted information about new stock market trends. Excellence in all areas is required in all submitted work.

The customer demand for stock photo work is carefully researched and the results are used to create Adobe market and guidelines. Get to know the market. Here is a place to start. We are all constantly learning about the rapidly changing market in stock art. Best regards, JH

I've not seen rejections as this in an excessive way. I have had some rejections where, having a second look, I could agree. Others where more or less grainy so refusal could be ok.

Without seeing the picture, we can't however judge for this specific case, but I suppose that was not the question.

Thanks. I'll see what else happens. A lot of my work is shallow DOF. I will give the rejected pics a deep zoom and see if I'm missing something. Cheers

You should look at your pictures at 100%. Please note that sometimes fine structures are also misinterpreted as noise.
