Quality issues rejection

Why did I get rejection? reason is Quality issues 
attached my images

For starters, you should never upload the same image, one in color and one in b&w. The color version is enough. The buyer can turn an asset into black and white if they prefer. As for the asset itself, it's something anyone with a graphics program could create on their own with minimal effort. And the majority of buyers here are graphic design professionals. Why pay for something that they can easily make themselves?

I respect your opinion, but in the end, the buyer is not obligated to download both files — they will simply download what they need. Moreover, I believe this has nothing to do with the rejection issue.

It's a rule, not an opinion. You should only upload the coloured version, the buyer can create a monochrome version of whatever you upload. (check the documentation).

Moreover, I believe this has nothing to do with the rejection issue.

We comment on all issues, not only the first one we see.

It's not my opinion. I basically repeated Adobe's rules when it comes to black and white conversions and uploading the same image twice.

So why reject both colored and black and white? At least accept the colored one!

Because the coloured version has quality issues, like colour clipping.

[daniellei4510]

But the colored one is such that anyone with a graphics program or a camera pointed up at the sky could make it. The likelihood of it being purchased is virtually nil. Not that such assets DON'T get accepted. In fact, they sometimes get accepted despite this. The moderator made a correct decision in this case.

They probably should have rejected based on "lack of commercial appeal". Anyone can easily create such an image, and as a Stock Buyer I certainly would not spend any of my Stock credits on such an image.

The Reviewers assess assets based on several criteria:

• Legal standards: Ensuring the content is free from copyright infringement and other legal issues.
• Technical qualities: Checking for image resolution, file size, and other technical aspects.
• Title and keyword accuracy: Verifying that the title and keywords accurately describe the image.
• Commercial value: Assessing whether the image is likely to be in demand by Adobe Stock customers.
• Aesthetic properties: Evaluating the overall look and feel of the image.
• Uniqueness: Determining if the image is original and doesn't duplicate content already in the Adobe Stock collection.

Compare your work with current Stock inventory. 

In what ways are your images better than what Stock has now?

As a customer, would you buy them?

Thank you for your feedback. I understand the standards, and I always do my best to meet them. I believe my work adds fresh variations and styles that can offer customers more choices.

Could you please help me understand more specifically the real reason why my work was rejected?!

[Abambo]

If I'm correct, the flags are 3D renders, too.

You should get a perfect sphere.

Computers should be powerful enough to render this more accurately.

The same here:

And the eyelet should be set a little more precisely.

The texture for the flag is not seamless.

If you render things like this, consider adding the alpha channel and offering the asset as a PNG. That greatly expands the possible market.

The second flag is not very sharp.

For both flags, the background is grey, not white.

As for the backgrounds, you have colour clipping.

[elhosary89]

Thanks for your specific details, i can fix the sphere and the other comment, but I didn't get how the texture for the flag is not seamless?
Also I haven’t uploaded PNG images before because I thought it wasn’t allowed

By @elhosary89

PNG files are allowed and recommended, as long as you have a clean alpha channel, which is with a 3D render a byproduct of the rendering process.

but I didn't get how the texture for the flag is not seamless?

By @elhosary89

Red: that lets me think that it's not seamless.

Grey: that is a strange white line. It may be a highlight reflection, but I would try to get rid of that.

Blue: looks to me like there is a texture mapping error.

As a side note: I, personally, find the perspective not great. If you have a dynamic animation, that could work, but as a single image, I think a more “boring” perspective would be better. Moreover, personally, I would concentrate on the flag only, without the pole, and a clean view of the flag. When I (from a buyer's perspective) would look for a flag, it would be ideal, especially if I could buy from the same series other flags of multiple countries. You can't create a Singapore flag, however.

[elhosary89]

Appreciate your help.
I got it, but the other Flag option, which is nice and clean. What do you think?

[Abambo]

Unsharp.
