I am just new at stock community. I have a image refused and I am pretty sure I can reedit it and make it way more professional. Am I going to be penalized if I do so?

To date, I have only resubmitted one rejected image, which was uploaded within Lightroom at 72 dpi and a whopping 85"x125" in size. Lightroom probably accepted it since it was still within range of the required megapixels. Fixing the issue was simple enough and I resubmitted it immediately.

I have other rejected images that I may consider re-editing at some point, but I prefer to let some time pass before doing so. I have other, new material to work on in the meantime, so I don't stress over rejected images all that much. If they start to affect my acceptance to rejection ratio substantially enough to be concerned, then I may give my rejections a little more attention if I feel they can actually be fixed. The majority of my rejections happened when I first started submitting to Adobe Stock and they really aren't worth bothering with at all. They're just plain bad. 🙂

I had some assets that I needed to submit 3–4 times before I “fixed” the error, which was in my case an IP violation.

You have a healthy attitude about your rejections - learn from them and move on. Many Contributors aren't willing to admit "they're just plain bad"! 🙂

It is okay to re-edit and resubmit an image; however doing that multiple times is considered spamming the database which is against Adobe's rules. If you upload the rejected image here, you can request feedback from fellow contributors as to how it can be improved, if at all.

Thank you. I have a pretty good ideia about what I need to do. If I got rejected twice I will request some feedback from you guys. Thank you again!
