Quality issued????

[Andy_Lang2540]

On the site, they advertise "you don't have to be a professional photographer," but 98% of the images are rejected due to "quality." I find it a bit ridiculous, especially with my Z6iii. Almost no post-processing for things that are too dark, too light, too colorful, or anything else. I think I'll leave Adobe's site; I don't need such childish stuff...sorry.

Some post-processing is essential with almost all digital photos. If you don't correct the errors, nobody will buy them.

Stock is a global assets service, not a photo gallery.  Customers expect the highest visual and technical quality for use in commercial projects -- print, digital & merchandise.

I am not a professional photographer but, still I have over 3.500 accepted photos. And yes, I do post process the images. Childish, is when you think you are better than everyone else and are not willing to learn from mistakes. We here in this forum, offer our help.

It is indeed not difficult to find sub-par images on Adobe Stock. Human reviewers are not infallible and some of the images in the database date back to 2004 when Fotolia was founded (Adobe acquired the business in 2014). If you would like to upload a few of your rejected images here, the community members can provide feedback as to possible reasons for rejection.
