Rejected for Technical Issues

[jeffb17235387]

My question is not a complaint, but a curiosity. The image in question was heavily edited to create an old film look. When I started with Adobe Stock I read that creative artful images were desired. In this case I added faux film grain and light leaks, etc. So my question is, does Adobe want these kind of images or not, or is there something else technically wrong with the image. I just want to know so I wont waste time creating content that is not wanted. Thank you for all your help in advance.

OK well the file up-loader won't let me up load the file. so I can't send it to you. I know you can't answer the question as to whether there "is something else technically wrong," but what about the artful type images? Again Thanks.

Try a couple of things maybe start by sending the untouched photo to them. Film grain is usually not accepted. The buyer might do that with the photo but not want your rendition of it. It's all about the customer. I do illustrations and have a wide artistic range with that. JH

Artful images, yes.

Stylized images, no.

Since Adobe Stock is most often used in Photoshop, it's better to leave that sort of editing and stylization to the customer. Adobe Stock tends to prefer images that customers have choices with - too much editing makes an image less useful.
