Hallo Community
Ich habe reihenweise Ablehnungen aus technichen Gründen und verstehe nicht warum.
Ich habe mal 2 der Bilder angehängt, in originaler Größe, ohne Nach-Schärfung und mit allen IPTC und EXIF Daten.
Das große weiße Wasserzeichen bitte ich zu ignorieren.
Eine Sache noch: Ich nutze das entsprechende Stock Modul in Lightroom Classic zum Übertragen der Bilder auf die Stock Seite. Das bedeutet konkret, dass ich den Export-Prozess der Bilder gar nicht selber beeinflusse und auch gar nicht kontrollieren kann. Aber ich gehe bisher davon aus, Adobe selbst das Modul schon so implementiert, dass der Export den hauseigenen Regeln entspricht (sprich: Format JPG, nicht größer als xx MB, etc.). Oder habt ihr da andere Erfahrung?
Ich freue mich über Feedback.
Gruß
Marco
Please DO NOT add watermarks. Adobe will reject them and it makes our job more difficult.
1. Image 1 is out of focus and partly B&W which does not sell.
2. Image 2 is all B&W which does not sell.
Stock Photos must be visually and technically perfect and all set for commercial use. If you don't adjust & retouch photo flaws yourself, nobody will do it for you. See links below.
...The watermarks are not the only reason. Your photos are also not sharp and there is a lot of noise in the photos. Also, take note that horizontal and vertical lines are straight. For instance the side of the building in the first photo.

Hey @Nancy OShea
Hey @RALPH_L
Thanks for your worthful hints.
So I understand that I shall keep photos colored as clients can B&W them by themself and that "out of focus" is even more critical than I though.
Of course I did not place the watermark at the pictures which I submitted for stock. I did this only for uploading into this forum. But I understand now, that even this is not recommended. Will do it better next time.
One more question where I am unsure now: Can wrong tagging also lead to rejects due to technical problems or will I see a different reason then? Or is it uncritical (not for sale but for rejection) at all?

Assuming your keywords are not offensive or blatantly misleading, I don't think it matters how you tag them. Adobe Stock reviewers are evaluating the image content and quality to ensure it's a good fit for their customer's needs.

You may put watermarks on your pictures to post here. Just tell the next time "Watermarks were not part of the submitted picture". The colleagues did not understand your hint to disregard the watermark.
The refusal reasons are mainly the B&W rework and defects in the pictures. Wrong tag lines and keywords are probably not leading to refusals because of technical issues, but they can lead to refusals.

For critique purposes, I find the watermark makes it harder, not easier for us to see the whole image. So I stand by my first remark. Please omit watermarks.
