The decrease in acceptance of visuals!

  • March 21, 2023

I think there has been an abnormality in upload controls for the past few months. Are my posts being rejected because I have increased the number of uploads? Even the visuals I am confident will be accepted are being rejected. If a clear reason is stated, we can identify what the problem is.

 

Have a good day.

Depends on the type of assets you are submitting.  On average, Photos & Vector Graphics are reviewed in 5  - 10 business days.  🙂 


Generative AI could take 1-2 months or perhaps longer if you didn't follow AI submission guidelines. 😞

Stock customers expect & pay for high quality assets for use in commercial projects.  The standards are much higher than social media.  See links below.

Adobe Stock tells you why the asset was rejected.

 

9 times out of 10 it's for Technical / Quality problems.  Poor lighting, composition, color balance, focus, or unwanted artifacts such as noise or sensor spots.   If you want feedback, post the full size asset here and the reason Adobe rejected it.

If you would like the community members to comment on the rejection reasons for any of your assets, please upload a couple of them here.

The timing is here, for once, not the problem… 😄 It's the rejection rate that OP thinks is higher than usual/before.

Hi @ismailgazel ,

So far the files that I've seen that are rejected have visible issues. The moderators will not give you detailed reason for rejection. They provide a link to the forum that you submit a few of you file for us to help you identify the issues. 

Best wishes

Jacquelin

    I'm sorry for you, but I doubt that Adobe will hurt your acceptance because you upload more assets. It's either that your assets do not meet the requirements or that Adobe is vetting assets in a more critical way. Both options are possible.


    I for my part did not remark more rejections lately.

     

    What types of assets do you submit?

      Adobe are likely to slowly increase standards over time, as they already have 100 million images, but we haven't seen any particular pattern, except a long overdue tightening up of AI checking. The contributors in this forum have no inside info. But perhaps if you'd like to share 2-3 ORIGINAL (as uploaded) pics, and the specific rejection reasons (as given by Adobe), the contributors here may be able to share a useful insight.
