Rejected images for first time upload

[Esiah.1]

Hey everyone. i just want anyone to comment on this image. i want to know why they were rejected

What did they tell you: quality issues?

[Esiah.1]

Yes they said Quality Issues

In the first two, a lot of the symbols are meaningless. In the second one, the man's hand is not coming out correctly from his shirt cuff and the middle finger doesn't look like it was fully rendered.

[Abambo · Accepted solution]

Your first: check the hands, to the left is a non-sense signature and the led symbols are also scrambeled: 

[Abambo · Accepted solution]

Your second: 

Geometric objects should not appear as hand drawn, and there should be “some” logic in those symbols. The middle finger has a rendering issue and the Z position of that shield with the nonsense symbol in is not correct. 

(edit)

Checking this on my desktop instead of my iPad, it looks even worse:

Your third: check the hand (pointer and middle finger) and the cuff of the shirt. I'm sure, I will find more errors, when looking in detail the woman's face.

Edit:

No doubt, the woman's face is also disqualifying this picture. The eyes have washed out detail, they should be crisp sharp.

The eyebrows should also show nice detailed hair, as she does not seem to have those makeup eyebrows.

The jacket shows patches with blurred and sharper pattern. The knob on the shirt does not work like this, and the pebble as ear jewellery should probably be a pearl. No need to say that the hair is not as detailed as required. In the background are plenty of artefacts, like colour clipping.

Thanks for taking this into concideration. 

[Abambo]

You're welcome.

AI is very flaky with details.  For example, your first image contains a 6 fingered hand (bottom). 🤔

1. Closely examine all your AI artwork at 100-300% magnification. 
2. Identify all AI mistakes and decide if it's worth your time & trouble to fix them. 
3. Otherwise, discard the image and start over until AI produces something decent to work with.
4. Your goal as a contributor is to submit highest quality images that are ready for commercial use.
5. Read your Stock Contributor User Guide for more tips.

Good luck.

Yup. Adobe has become super strict with AI submissions. Meanwhile top downloaded AI photos are selling that are far worse than this rejection. The office part celebration photo is one of the top selling and has absolutely no photorealism. Looks completely "AI-ish" and you can spot issues right away on other top downloads without even going 100%.

So unfortunately the consumer doesn't care as much (obviously) since these people with inferior submissions are making money while far superior submissions are being picked apart to death and can't even get on..

@David Chas.

You've made your point, we get it. Please stop spamming this community.

When you come across inferior quality assets, report the asset IDs to Stock Contributor Support so they can take appropriate action.

Bringing up questions and seeking explanations in a couple of posts is not spamming. A community is here for things like that along with helping others, not to lick the boots of Adobe or any company, but to keep them honest and answer questions about equality and fairness within their own guidelines. Usually, it is how communities get answers from a company.

Thank you for the link. I will do as you suggested and see if they have an explanation themselves.

Unfortunately, we have no control over what Adobe does. We are their guests, not their enemies or 'bootlickers.'  Just fellow product users. 

This user-to-user community is not empowered to change guidelines or Adobe Stock's review process. That's not our wheelhouse. 

Feel free to report inferior assets to Adobe Stock but don't expect an explanation as you're unlikely to receive one.

ALWAYS inspect the hands/fingers carefully. I'm sure that's what the moderators do first.

[Esiah.1]

Alright, thank you for your Concideration. 

[David Chas]

I agree with the issues others have pointed out. However, it will become more frustrating when you look on the top downloaded AI images and see photos that are far worse than this. Yet consumers are downloading them just fine. here are some examples of the top-selling. The office meeting photos has people missing arms and legs and half bodies, the celebration photo quality is far worse than you have been rejected on. Unfortunately, Adobe has become so strict on better and newer AI technology while still allowing the older worse submissions to be recognized on the front AI download page to be downloaded more and more.

[Nancy OShea]

Much of this stuff was grandfathered in at a time when submission quality wasn't scrutinized to the same degree it is now.

That said, when customers complain & demand refunds for inferior quality assets, Stock takes notice and removes them from inventory.  Also that doesn't bode well for the contributor who submitted them. 

Contributors with unusual refund activity are typically terminated.  😶

There is no way for Contributors to kniw which are the "top downloaded" images.
