Bilder Ablehnung

Community Beginner ,
Oct 06, 2025 Oct 06, 2025

Ich finde es wirklich unfair von Adobe, dass meine hochgeladenen Bilder in höchster Qualität einfach abgelehnt werden. Was soll das bitte?

The Reviewers were right in refusing it.  Don't take rejection personally.  Stock isn't a photo contest.  It's a global assets business.  Adobe must be careful about what they accept to protect their paying customers.  

 

Every yellow box below indicates possible model and or intellectual property issues. You would need to provide a boat load of signed release forms to get this image approved. Without permission, it's a legal bonfire.

ch möchte anmerken, dass ich kein einziges KI-generiertes Bild hochgeladen habe, und trotzdem werden alle meine Bilder abgelehnt. Sollte Adobe kein Interesse mehr an meinen Arbeiten haben, werde ich künftig keine weiteren Bilder mehr hochladen.

Submitting elsewhere is certainly something you are welcome to do. A number of contributors have already done so, are contributing less often, or have at least slowed down with their submissions. As for the asset you posted, there are some quality issues when viewed at 100% in terms of noise, and there are many identifiable people that would thus require model releases. There may well be IP issues as well.

Dear Adobe Team,
Thank you for your feedback. However, I find the rejection reason regarding “noise” difficult to understand. All of my photos are noise-reduced and carefully processed.
Only some night shots might naturally show a bit of noise, which would be understandable. But even images taken in bright daylight and good weather conditions have been rejected for “noise” — although they were captured in DNG RAW and professionally developed.
Kind regards,

Noise reduction and noise elimination are two different things. Me personally, I believe an image should be viewed at 200% and still see sharpness and relatively little noise, which is still apparent at even 100% in this particular image. But it's a moot issue in this case. You would need model releases, as has been pointed out.

Did you supply model releases for the people in this image? If not, it would be rejected as an IP violation.

I am disappointed, and I cannot afford a Hasselblad camera to produce noise-free images.
Nevertheless, Adobe can reject everything if they wish. I don’t have a Hasselblad, and I also cannot buy 33-cent images.
I would like to end this discussion here.
Best regards to the Adobe team from Germany.
Do as you please – feel free to keep rejecting.

All cameras produce images with noise under certain conditions. I don't have a Hasselblad, and have had thousands of images accepted from a range of Canon DSLR's and even a few from my iPhone. I carefully edit and examine each image before submitting to be sure that noise has been reduced or eliminated as well as other technical issues. The noise reduction software built-in to Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom has become quite adept.

I also photograph with a Sony A900 (25 MP) and all my lenses, which do not exceed f/2.8, as well as with the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Fundamentally, the images are captured noise-reduced, as DNG-RAW, and in Lightroom only the noise filter was applied.
No additional sharpening or post-processing was done. The only adjustments made were lens correction, exposure, and contrast – nothing more.

 

Kind regards

It seems that you're applying the correct steps in terms of quality, and your equipment is definitely capable of producing the necessary quality. Also remember to zoom in to at least 100%, or even 200%, to carefully inspect for quality issues. Noise, and chromatic aberration often cannot be seen easily unless you zoom in, which is exactly what the Moderators do.

 

We've all experienced an increasing rate of unjustified rejections over the last 6 months or so. I stopped submitting new images for a while because it was just a waste of time to invest so much effort and have my images incorrectly rejected. I started up again submitting very small batches of 3-4 images and had most of them accepted for a while, then Adobe "turned the knob" on the rejection machine again and my rejection rate went up to an unacceptable level. Once again, I've halted my submissions, though I continue to edit images that are stock-worthy.

 

Nevertheless, both of the images you've shown us here are rejectable based on IP requirements.

"Do as you please – feel free to keep rejecting."

 

We are not the ones doing the rejecting. We just critique here, and give the most reasonable (usually accurate, sometimes not) reason or reasons an asset was rejected.

Neither do we. My 98% acceptance rate fell to 82% in a matter of two or three months due to "similar content" rejections. I almost look forward to an occasional quality issue rejection here and there. Those I can fix,.

Also, wir sind hier nicht das Adobe-Team. Und die wenigsten Bilder hier in Stock sind mit Hasselblad aufgenommen. Deine Beiträge sind etwas konfus. Vielleicht hast Du besser Deutsch zu schreiben. Wir verstehen das auch.

 

Ablehnungen sind nicht persönlich zu nehmen, und die Kamera spielt nur eine untergeordnete Rolle, wenn die Kamera befähigt ist, hochwertige Bilder zu liefern. Das erste Bild benötigt klar ein Model-Release von jedem, der erkennbar auf dem Bild ist. Eventuell gibt es auch IP-Probleme. Außerdem sieht es etwas zuviel rauschunterdrückt aus.

In addition, the Histogram Panel shows your highlights are clipped.  Clipping means those pixel details are lost & can't be recovered.  It's a nice photo for personal use. But it's not suitable for use in commercial advertising. And that's why customers come to Stock. 

 

Read your Contributor User Guide for more tips.

Hope that helps.
