Photo approval

[Cindydays]

I'm new and just uploaded about 30 photos. And when I go to check photos approved, only 2 seem to be. Even though I did all the tagging and there are no faces, brands, or any other recongizable points. 

Does Adobe Stock automatically approve most photos (that abide by the rules) or do most NOT get selected?

Not sure if it's worth sitting here for hours tagging each photo individually or not?

It is not automatic; humans look at each picture and decide if it meets Adobe’s standards. If a photo is rejected you are sent an email with the reasons. Adobe have high standards and are looking for photos that will sell; they are not a gallery. You will need to work to find out their needs. We can help you interpret rejections.

If your pictures get refused, they get for a reason. Moderators are looking into each picture and the first refusal reason they find gets the picture refused. So at the begining it’s wise to upload only a few and to learn from the refusals.

You can post the images here with the refusal reason and other contributors will give tipps on what the problem may be. But please do not post all 30 images in one big post.

As for the rest, please look carefully into the help pages fir contributors.
