Hello!

House is not in focus.

Adobe is accepting black and white pictures if they are quite artistic. Recently Adobe accepted 7 different french bulldog portraits black and white. And people are bying bw pictures too.

It's says in their guide to not apply those kind of filters, so when a filtered photo appears, it's natural to point out this problem.

The reason to refuse is quite simple: to turn a picture black and white is very easy, anyone with a smartphone app can do it in one minute, recover the original color is impossible. if the customer wants the photo in black and white, he can do it himself and your photo will still be useful for someone that don't want that touch.

Why do they accept this type of photo? Apparently they aren't very good at following their own guides, they make it sound like it's more of a suggestion.

Something like that. My conclusion is that bw is not forbidden, but only advised to not submit.

When you write for example "black and white dandelion" in Adobe stock search, they offer you to buy thousands of bw dandelion images. So it means that even stock agencies are ok with bw.

Quote from me:

Yes, Adobe sometimes accepts black and white pictures, I suppose mostly by error, as they also accept bad pictures sometimes by error.

As it is as such in their rules, you should not submit black and white pictures or you are risking a refusal. If a black and white picture gets refused, and it shows up here, one of the possible refusal reasons is black and white. In most cases it's not the only reason, but it is one reason.

If the scene or subject is naturally black and white, of course they'll accept. But their guidelines specifically preclude black and white or duotone conversions. Any graphic designer can easily,do the conversion themselves, so full,color is preferred.

Nope, they accept converted black and white. Here 2 examples from my screen. French bulldogs were accepted about 2-3 weeks ago. In other picture yoy can see that customers sometime bying black and white photos. Just screenshots, I`ve too many photos in external hard drive to search for older pictures. I hope, I didn`t violate something again 🙂

Just because a black and white picture is sometimes accepted, it does not mean that is allowed by the rules.

"Don’t: Convert your image to black and white or duotone. Buyers want the maximum flexibility provided by the full color image. " Try resubmitting in colour.
