Rejection of 35mm film images

After shooting film images for magazines for more than 40 years, I have collect a lot of film images both topside and underwater.  We scanned them at very high resolution using digital ice to remove artifacts, and everything we have uploaded has been rejected because they had grain.   Does this mean that Adobe Stock does not accept 35mm film images for Adobe Stock contributors.  We even sent Kodachrome 25 images which has a very tight grain pattern, and they were rejected.  I have already removed all my digital images from Adobe Stock, and plan on moving on to a competitor.  I just wanted to know so that when I lecture to my students, I can tell them that the film images are not accepted by you.

Sure, we will accept scans. It's important to note however, the review criteria is the same. There isn't a different review process that takes into account the image was scanned. If instead of noise, there is excessive grain or artifacts from the scan, we won't be able to accept it.

I have got basically the same question: Does it make sense to upload sanned Images at all as they have always a certain grain?

Thank' s for an answer,
