I recently encountered a situation where some of my uploaded photos were rejected by Adobe Stock, citing "quality issues" as the reason for rejection. I'm reaching out to this forum to seek guidance and insights into what specific quality issues Adobe Stock might be referring to on these photos. those are AI-generative ones.

Photographs come from a camera. Unless you took these photos yourself, it's not photography.

Generative AI is artifical artwork that's highly prone to failures. Unsightly mistakes must be cured BEFORE you submit to Stock.

Some AI mistakes can be fixed in Photoshop. Some can't. The main difference between pros & amateurs is knowing what to keep & what to discard.

To clarify, you CAN say that your AI images are photographs if they do in fact look like photographs, but they must STILL be labeled as Generative AI. I think both of these examples are more illustrative in nature than they are photographs. The other crtiques noted in this thread also apply.

To clarify, you can use the file type "Photos" when you submit "photo-realistic" Generative AI assets, but that still doesn't make them photographs. I think Buyers and Creators are going to want to enforce this distinction as the line between "real" and computer-generated becomes blurred more and more. I liken this situation to the "Impossible Burger" trend. It may look like beef, and even somewhat taste like beef, but sellers cannot try to hoodwink buyers into buying one when they want the other.

This is why my AI has to look EXTREMELY like a photo before I select that catagory. Also, I never use the words photo or photograph in my titles or keywords. I might do "a portrait of..." or "an image of..." but never "a photograph of...."

My mantra is thus: An AI designer is only as good as the number of images they ultimately assign to the trash.

For the toddler: look at the background. The background should have a continious tone. @Jill_C talked about the weird hands, there are also other errors with the clothing:

Certainly if you submitted these as "photographs", they would be rejected. The first one has geometry problems in the window / door frame. The second one has issues in the eyes and hands.

I assume that these are not photos. They are images. If they are, refer to them as such and carefully follow the guidelines. Otherwise, your account will probably be suspended.

I think focus (depth of field) and exposure of shadows is your problem.
