Will this photo be accepted for commercial use as a used motherboard?

Thank you for replying. But , can these type of photos be sold as editorial contents?

You can try, provided you’ve sold a minimum of 100 assets. But it still needs work, at minimum the poor cropping at the bottom.

Thank you. I will take another photo and post it here and see your feedback.

Taken as a whole, I think this will be refused for Intellectual Property reasons. Unlike schematic diagrams, actual circuit boards are typically protected by design & utility patents, as are the various components inside them. When in doubt, Stock will always err on protecting IP rights.

For reference, compare your image with other circuit boards in Stock inventory.

Hope that helps.

How about if I leave the original background, will it be accepted?

I like that more, but it’s too closely cropped at the bottom. And again, moderators appear to hate slanted verticals, The shadows need to be opened up as well.

In addition, the slanted verticals would conceivably result in a rejection. A perfectly squared off top-lay version would have a better chance. And check your histogram.

If company names, brand names, logos, or the like are visible, the submission will be rejected due to IP issues.
You will need to edit the image using Photoshop.

Thank you for the reply. I don’t see visible logo in the board .I only see the board is not clean and I can submit it as used one. Is that correct?

You need to zoom in to 100% to check the image.
All of these logos and brand names need to be corrected.

Also, parts of the image appear blurry when viewed at 100% magnification.
You need to stop down the lens aperture to ensure the entire image is in focus.
