Recently a lot of submissions were rejected due to artefacts/quailty issues. Cannot be, I am using Canon R5 gear and original Canon lenses. Pictures were taken on pure sunlight. Other stock companies did not reject the same pictures.

Other companies have different customers, quality standards & lower royalty fees. You can't say that what's good for one is good for all. It doesn't work that way.

 

Quality can be effected by many factors in normal sunlight as well as artificially lit studios. To offer better feedback, we would need to see a full-sized rejected image.

Using expensive, professional equipment is no guarantee of success. Post a couple of the rejected images here and the community members will provide their opinions as to the reasons for rejection.

We will check if you can post images that you have actually posted to AdobeStock to the community.
It is not simply due to the shooting equipment, but sometimes no matter what equipment you use to take a photo, it will not be accepted unless you process it with Photoshop or Lightroom.
