Hello, I create such photos, horror, horror, dark atmosphere. I recently uploaded 40 of these and got approved. And 5 of them sold out within a week! but now I'm uploading new works in this style and I get a refusal (AESTHETIC OR COMMERCIAL APPEAL OF THE IMAGE).. there are no such works on adobe stock, these are unique works, this is complex art.. these works are sold on other platforms and the price is $10 and up for one work.. but Adobe:/

Adobe's turf, Adobe's rule. There is no such work on Adobe stock because it is easy to create such effects if needed. But it is not possible to revert to a classical, correctly exposed and focussed picture. Sorry, but if assets before this were accepted, and they were the same quality, you were very lucky with that. If they sell, and they don't get deleted because customers complain, you are even more lucky.

Hi @antithesisw ,

The rule is no special effect, no black and white among others. Please read the info at all the links that @Abambo post. Adobe wants images that are as close to reality as possible. Photoshop and lightroom can do the conversion. I'm sure you'll want to maximize the potential of your work. You cannot do that by converting them. You maximize their potential by keeping them in the original form. 

 

I cannot analyze these work from the size clips you have, but I'm still able to see that some of these are poor quality files. You will learn here how to create better photos for Adobe. You'll also learn at this link how to look for errors and what to look for.

Best wishes

Jacquelin

      You see only a small part of the work and the cropped ones and you are already talking about the quality .. about the style that you do not know. There are millions of simple black and white photos on Adobe, and these works are much more complicated. 
      These photos accept other stocks .. are you talking about luck? this is strange, I understand that everyone needs an ideal green landscape, but there are genres that are needed by a smaller circle of people.

      It doesn't matter whether there are black and white images in the Stock Catalog. Because TODAY Adobe's rules forbid black and white images. Arguing from existing photos never works. Indeed, arguing never works at all, because it's not us deciding. We are sharing our knowledge of what Adobe want. And it seems they don't want this art. There is a lot of great art which does not fit their rules. I hope you are lucky with it elsewhere.
