Adobe Stock Rejections due to quality issues - Seeking Guidance

New Here ,
Apr 16, 2025 Apr 16, 2025

For the past few weeks, Adobe Stock has been rejecting my submissions, while the same images are accepted by other stock platforms without issue. I’ve included a few examples below and would appreciate any insights on why they might not meet Adobe’s standards.

For 222, you either need a model release or eliminate the girl in the corner completely. Blurring out the face is not an option.

444 Noise, exposure (especially the branch is too dark and should show more detail), composition (the leaves down left need to be edited out). I have the impression that the file is a bit oversaturated.

 

333 Contrasts are missing, the pictures is underexposed, the midtones however are too high.

 

2222: I agree with @daniellei4510. In addition, I think that if other platforms accepted this picture, that shows that they don't check the asset correctly. But even without the girl: the picture is badly composed. It looks more like one of my very bad holyday snapshots.

 

111: It's the only one in this series, where I would think that it has potential. I think the contrast is not good and the white balance needs to be a tick colder. You could increase texture and clarity. The background is a bit flat, with no structure, so I suppose that you applied a lot of noise reduction to this one.

1111. The horizon is not level. There are some overexposed highlights in the clouds. There are artifacts arround the structure and people. Landscape is better in 3:1 format and needs the Rule of Thirds.

Hello,

I think you could also work on your composition. The photos are not compelling, as if there was not a lot of thought into what you are taking. 

Read about composition from Adobe.
