Any Idea why astrophotografy images were rejected

[Stefan380699819vwg]

Hello,

I started with Adobe Stock and uploaded a few of my own captured and processed Astrophotography images. But Adobe rejetced it without a specific reason. Just a link to some guidelines, which doesn't help or explain the reason.

Any Idea what could be wrong with the images? one example attached. It's an Image with HOO-Integration

There's always a stated reason for rejection. Quality & Technical issues are most common.

Adobe Stock customers are looking for commercial-ready photographs to use in professional projects.  Sharp focus, vibrant color, good composition & details, etc...

Also compare your work with current Stock inventory to see what they've accepted so far.

Hello Nancy, 

thx for the reply. 

Adobe mentioned 3 abstract reasons:

"Possible causes:

– Non-compliant use of other artists’ names.

– Undeclared generative AI content.

– The content does not comply with general guidelines."

I can exclude the first 2 and the 3rd sound like a general and not tengble reason, which makes it difficult to improve.

It looks like a good photo. But is sk2024 present in all rejected photos? If so, the writing may be the cause.

Hello,

There could be a problem with your keywords. You might have inadvertently used a word which could be  proctected by copyright. 

 So, I suggest to look at them more closely.

Copyright is written at the bottom right. It's only in this example and not in the uploaded photo?

could be the copyright - didn't recognized that. Thx for the hint

Before you submit anything, you must read the Stock Contributor User Guide carefully.  It's required reading for every Contributor.

sure, I know this link.

I didn't saw any explicitly requirement to not use the copyright. They're just refering to logos, brands, names of companies, but not restricted to private or single persons.

Watermarks are never allowed. A Buyer would not be able to use an image with your watermark on it. Copyright is implicit whether or not a watermark is visible.
