Question

Why Was My Image Rejected on Adobe Stock?

Hello Adobe Stock Community,

I recently submitted an image of a Luxury Fine Dining Platter, featuring seared salmon, truffle mashed potatoes, asparagus, and edible gold flakes, plated in a Michelin-star restaurant setting. I ensured that the image was high resolution (4MP+) before submission.

However, my image was not approved, and I would like to understand the possible reasons. I suspect the rejection could be due to one of the following factors:

1️⃣ Resolution or Compression Issues: Was my file not high enough in resolution or overcompressed?
2️⃣ Noise or Artificial Texture: Did the image contain unwanted noise or unrealistic textures?
3️⃣ Focus & Composition: Could the rejection be due to incorrect focus, excessive background blur, or composition issues?
4️⃣ Content Guidelines: Did the image contain any copyrighted elements or branding that led to rejection?

I want to optimize the image according to Adobe Stock's guidelines, so any feedback or suggestions from the community would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you! 😊

One more time...we need to see the full sized image AS SUBMITTED, along with the header of the reason it was rejected (Quality issues, technical issues, or whatever). Adobe will reject even for minor details, as we can't make out those details without the full-sized asset.

'Quality' issues? So, again, if you would like some feedback, post the original size and not a thumbnail as you have done.
