Question

The photo was rejected due to technical issues. Its sharpness was enhanced using AI, and it was uploaded with a flag indicating the use of AI-based modifications. Could you please clarify the reasons for the rejection?

    Hello,

    The major issue here is your composition! It needs work.

    Adobe has advice on composition:

    Composition needs improvement. And more elements to engage me as the viewer. Or, since there is nothing of interest in the background, you might consider eliminating it and simply submitting it as a transparent png. Search Adobe Stock for decorated eggs and and see what the competition is doing.

    Thanks for the advice. I also uploaded a version with a transparent background to the stock site.

    DO NOT resubmit the same image twice. You’ll get strikes for duplicate content/spamming which is a TERMS violation.

     

    Pick one preferred format per asset- JPEG, PNG, or Vector graphic AI, EPS or SVG.

     

    Hope that helps.
