INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS REFUSAL

[voy fon]

Can someone explain why this photo was rejected due to INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS REFUSAL

You have recognizable people in your image; unless you obtained a model release from them, or can edit or crop them out of the image, you will not be able to commercialize it.

But this, for example, was accepted.

The 2 men, seen from behind, are not identifiable since we don't see any part of their faces. In the first image, the couple in profile on the right side is identifiable. You can edit and resubmit images, just don't resubmit previously rejected images without having re-edited them, which is considered spamming and can get your account blocked.

If my photo has been rejected, can I reprocess it and upload it to Adobe stock one more time.

If the IP issues can be remedied with a signed release form, you merely need to upload the release form.

If you don't have a signed release, the image can't be accepted.  You would need to submit another image that doesn't require a release form.

Hope that helps.

and will such an approach be accepted?

[Nancy OShea]

If your new image contains no other defects, it will be accepted.

Examine each image carefully at 100-300% magnification. Fix all defects before submitting.

Always look at jackets, shoes, and caps. There are usually hidden logos.

After editing those out and checking also the other individuals, you can resubmit. I doubt that a model release is required.

Hi @voy fon ,

There seem to be one on the skateboard. After making these editing, look for color fringing.

Best wishes
