Question

75 images were rejected at once despite meeting the criteria

Hello, I would like to complain or contact Adobe Stock support. 75 images were rejected at once, even though I did everything required and added that they were using artificial intelligence and did not add keywords that were far from the topic.

I was tired for days and put a lot of pressure on myself to complete these photos, only to be surprised that they were not accepted, even though several months ago I had published a smaller quantity and with worse quality, and in fact they were accepted. 

Imsges size were 4096×2304 for width:height, the ratio was 16:9

thanks for reading.

Your assets were refused on quality issues. Post one of those as submitted.

 

There is no need to contact contributor support on those issues. This is especially why this forum is for.

 

As a side note: if the quality of those accepted is worse, you should consider deleting them. There is no need to include bad assets just to get them removed after customer complaints and getting hurt by that because that will lower your chance to make future sales. Even if they got accepted, you are still responsible for the asset quality.

I don't understand what you mean exactly by "post one of those as submted" but if you mean posting some

of refused images here.

 But I was really tired of them and it took me days to prepare them. It's not good to reject them all at once, 75 imsges!

Thanks for your reply and clarificationI understand what you mean. If the images were made with artificial intelligence from the beginning, it is difficult to modify them except by simply changing the sharpness, shadows, and so on. As for the noise in the image of the apple: it is supposed to be fine water droplets.and I don't realy love to make it very sharp.

I do not deny that there is confusion and noise in the pictures. Thank you for your reply, but man, if you are the one reviewing the pictures, try to give everyone a chance.

my regards.

Oh, no! You need to be a Photoshop wizard to correct some errors. If you can't correct, do not submit. You are supposed to submit perfect pictures.

You did again not read what I wrote (you should really learn that words have a meaning! At least, you are lucky that you are not one of my wife's students!): I talked about colour noise. That is noise in the colour, not in the luminance. Incidentally: I noticed that there are droplets. They are sharp enough.

By @Worker404

There is no confusion. Artefacts are errors, not confusion. There is no need to argument on this. I didn't criticize luminary noise, but colour noise (colour changing at a high frequency back and forth). In most cases, colour noise is an easy fix.

It's worse. I'm a fellow contributor and I apply those standards to my assets. I'm also a stock buyer, and if I spend my time on such an asset, searching, selecting, designing, getting my design approved, licensing and complaining to Adobe, going back to my customer, telling them that the design can't be done like this because I selected a bad asset, missing a deadline, … Your apples or your exploding lights could cost me easily $1000 and more. No, supply me with correct assets. This is not a preschool project, where everybody will be happy and tell you how nice it is.

 

You see, if I would have licenced your asset, for the $.33-$0.99 that you would have earned, I would have been outraged with you, and I would put your designs on my personal black list. So yes, you have one chance.
