No reason behind being rejected within seconds. Need a reason. What about the quality. What about 6000px in width is not good quality. You accepted other photos with no issues. Need a better critique.
Do you check these requirements?
https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/photography-illustrations.html
Your image needs to be enlarged to 100% and checked closely.
Adjust brightness, color, level, cropping, etc. using Lightroom or Photoshop before submitting it.
If you post your image on the community, we'll check to see what the problem is.
Your image, IMG_9067.JPG, has an underexposed sky, lacks sharp focus and has chromatic aberration (purple fringing) among the tree branches.

The apparent arbitrary rejection of submissions within a short time span makes me suspicious that humans are no longer conducting the reviews. Likely being done through an AI tool or algorithm.

It seems like the program checks it once before the operator checks it.

Kann ich bestätigen. Fotografien, die ich vor einem halben Jahr hochgeladen habe wurden problemlos akzeptiert, jetzt auf einmal werden alle! abgelehnt, trotz identischer Qualität (Auflösung, Größe usw.). Um meine Vermutung zu prüfen, dass nur noch die KI überprüft, habe ich zwei vorher akzeptierte Fotografien: einmal als Hochformat hochgeladen und eine andere Fotografie in s/w. Beide wurden abgelehnt. Das macht kein Spaß mehr und auch kein Sinn. Man bekommt dafür eh schon sehr wenig ausgezahlt und die Mühe und Zeit die man dann reinsteckt, nur um von einer KI abgelehnt zu werden, macht kein Sinn. Ich suche jetzt nach Alternativen. Generell zu Adobe

I too, am getting 100% refusals for photographs I submit. I wont say here, but I have reasons to believe that they are not all refused for any technical quality as the notice says. It is either Adobe is using AI only to review photos, or the review moderators are refusing files without checking or flag accounts. After all, they also get paid to refuse files.
If it's AI refusing the files, they need to program it to leave files in review for a human to check. If it's some lazy reviewers then it mean we need to all find alternatives.

"After all, they also get paid to refuse files."
Moderators do, but Adobe doesn't. So rejecting assets indiscriminately for being too similar to other assets when they aren't, or that are deemed to have quality issues where none actually exist, isn't doing Adobe nor its contributors much good. I simply don't see the logic.

They get paid for checking the assets. It's in Adobe's interest to add more assets into their database, and those following the statistics say that the database is continiously growing.

Auflösung und Größe sind keine Qualitätskriterien. Auch nich bei der Fotografie.
Um meine Vermutung zu prüfen, dass nur noch die KI überprüft, habe ich zwei vorher akzeptierte Fotografien: einmal als Hochformat hochgeladen und eine andere Fotografie in s/w. Beide wurden abgelehnt.
By @Michele27188098m6wn
Das ist doch kein Beweis für Prüfung durch die KI. Also das Bild in s/w kann ich blind erklären: schwarzweiß Bilder werden grundsätzlich abgelehnt. Der Käufer kann einfachst ein Farbbild in S/W wandeln, wenn ihm danach ist, aber wieder ein Farbbild daraus zu machen ist nicht möglich. Das Hochformatbild kann ich so nicht beurteilen, es besteht aber die Möglichkeit, dass es mangelhaft ist.
Das macht kein Spaß mehr und auch kein Sinn. Man bekommt dafür eh schon sehr wenig ausgezahlt und die Mühe und Zeit die man dann reinsteckt, nur um von einer KI abgelehnt zu werden, macht kein Sinn.
By @Michele27188098m6wn
Na ja, andere Stockfirmen zahlen weniger aus. Ob eine KI ablehnt wage ich zu bezweifeln, aber klar, das wurde schon vor fünf Jahren behauptet.
Also Qualitätsablehnungen konnten wir bisher noch immer begründen. Es gab sehr selten Bilder, wo wir die Ablehnung nicht nachvollziehen konnten. Allerdings gebe ich gerne zu, dass Adobe zweierlei Maß hat: Fotos werden recht streng beurteilt, bei generativer KI gibt es ganz viel Schrott in der Datenbank.
Allerdings haben wir jetzt viele Ablehnungen wegen bereits ähnlichen Bildern in der Datenbank. Das ist in der Tat ein Problem.

A rejection for quality issues is mostly warrented. I have seen only a couple of pictures where I could not explain the refusal.

"We" are not Adobe, but contributors like yourself. If you want us to take a look, post two or three of the rejected image(s) here,

These are some quick changes I would make. That's no guarantee it would be accepted.

Hi @thefladhammer ,
Just to add to what @Jill_C said. There is also a white balance issue. The picture has a blue tint.

There is much more to image quality than pixels and resolution. Upload your rejected image here if you want feedback from the community.

By @thefladhammer
Quality issues is a good reason.
What about 6000px in width is not good quality.
By @thefladhammer
The pixel size is not and never was a quality criteria. It's a physical fact.
You accepted other photos with no issues.
By @thefladhammer
Maybe they should have been rejected? It's not that I say that they should have been rejected, but it's a common argument from contributors who say that because this asset has been accepted, that asset needs to be accepted too. Without seeing the asset, we can't say what flaws may or may not be in the picture. But acceptance is not a right.
Need a better critique.
By @thefladhammer
Well, either you check critically your pictures, or we can check one or two of them. Have a look into the critiques on this forum. You'll find a lot of inspiration in how to check a picture.

The biggest issue I’m having is that I haven’t posted anything from Japan, and the one image I did post from Japan was rejected with the excuse of ‘similar images.’ Also, they’ll deny a photo, and then if I wait three days and reupload it, it gets approved. Adobe needs to be more consistent.
