Hello, dear forum members. One image is rejected because of the similarity to the other. Is blue and yellow similar to purple? How then to create gradient backgrounds. Thank you very much for your help!

ther are 3.8 million "gradient backgrounds" in Adobe Stock. If you enjoy submitting, continue making backgrounds. If you want to sell something, choose another subject.

Well said, @RALPH_L. 🙂

I'll take a risk and go one step further. Nobody gets rich off cheap & cheesy submissions. The likelihood that any of these "background gradients" would be purchased by Adobe Stock customers is slim to none. If this is the best work one can offer, I don't see much future for them here.

I even wonder why you got accepted one of those images.

I do not know where the moderator saw the similarity, but the same refusal is also used for similarity to other contributors pictures.

Thanks for the reply. I made this gradient based on my own photo, so I had no idea that it could be similar to another work.

“Similarity” is a strange refusal every so often…
