Repeated “Quality Issue” Rejections on 20 Images – Need Guidance

Hello everyone,

I recently uploaded around 20 images to Adobe Stock, but all of them were rejected due to “Quality Issues.” The images were shot with a Sony A6100 (24MP) and edited carefully in Photoshop using basic adjustments like Levels, slight sharpening, and spot healing.

The files were exported in high-quality JPEG (sRGB, full resolution, no resizing). I checked for noise, banding, over-sharpening, and color issues at 100% zoom before uploading.

Most images have clean backgrounds, proper lighting, and sharp focus. However, I’m still receiving quality rejections consistently.

I would really appreciate if someone could guide me on:

What specific technical issues Adobe usually flags under “Quality”?

Is there a common mistake contributors make during editing/export?

Could strong colors or flat backgrounds trigger automated quality detection?

Please help me why my images are rejected.
