non-compliant images

Ah! I'll recheck those to confirm. Question: If I use the word "shiitake" for a mushroom image, will that get flagged as a different language?

If, by subcategory, you mean Landscapes, People, Food, etc.  I'm quite sure that has nothing to do with reviewing algorithms. We have been told by Adobe multiple times that those categories are a hold-over from the Fotolia days and are essentially meaningless now. Not sure why they don't just eliminate them altogether.

I get that. When there are quality issues, they list possible reasons, noise, focus, unclear subject, etc. Not all apply, but at least I know what to check in the submission and see if I can improve. If I see a rejection with something to the effect of "Too similar to other images in the collection," that's clear. I need to give more attention to what Adobe's content needs are. In the case of the "non-compliance" rejection, none of those apply. If it's not one of the listed reasons, then it would be helpful to list a reason that actually applies so we can know how to either fix the issue OR what we can do better.

Thank you. That's a quality issue. That's the kind of rejection feedback that I can work with.

However, I doubt that moderator(s) selected the same wrong reason for rejection 16 times in a row.
