Hello, can someone help me? I'm looking to see if there's anything wrong with the policy regarding car photos for editorial use. I've submitted many photos and haven't had any problems. In the last few days, they've been rejecting them all the time. Do you know why this is happening?

What was the rejection reason?

Unfortunately, during our review we found that this file does not meet the Adobe Stock’s Illustrative Editorial Guidelines.

We are looking for imagery intended to illustrate articles on current events and news, focused on conceptual imagery using real brands and products to convey strong ideas.

The most common cases for rejection from that collection are:

  • - The file includes identifiable people.
  • - The file is news or documentary editorial.
  • - The file did not have a strong editorial concept.

Intersesting. What was the refusal heading. 

 

I agree, however, that the image does not have a strong editorial concept, even that those causes are stock text and will appear on all refusals of this kind, so they are not exactly targeted to your assets.

I have submitted many photos in PNG format for editorial use and they have been accepted.
