Rejects and other similar images

[Vanveen JF]

hello

I am getting abit frustrated with the rejected images by Adob.Stock. I know it's a "bot" that does that (my guess) but I see many other similar images from others being accepted (or posted). Is there a way to contact Adobe to "request  a review of the rejected ones?? I have 209 posted and 159 rejected.

Bot? No, humans.
Adobe Review? No, absolutely not. Adobe's job in reviewing includes keeping the costs down. They couldn't review hundreds of thousands of images a week if people could review. Better to reject many good ones than lose profit that way. But... if you'd like to share 1-3 (no more) original (not reduced or stamped) images, the experienced reviewers here may be able to give an idea of why they think this isn't what Adobe are accepting right now.

I guess no point of persuing it than. ;((

Rejections from Adobe are final and there isn't an appeals process or a way to contact the reviewers.  Like @Test Screen Name mentioned, post a few photos for the community volunteers to give feedback on if you'd like 🙂

Edit: Although rejections are final, if there are errors that are correctable you can fix them and resubmit.

Did you post all of your assets in one large batch? The conventional wisdom here in the forum is that posting small batches and waiting for feedback on those, correcting and resubmitting them, or at least learning from the rejects, is the "slow and steady" approach to growing your portfolio with the least rejects. 

As indicated above, Adobe provides no avenue for you to receive additional feedback on your rejects other than this forum. So if you'd like to upload 2-3 rejects here, the community members will be happy to provide feedback as to the possible reason for reject.

No bots.  Just humans. 

Reviewer's decisions are final.  There is no appeals process, sorry.

With over 300 million assets in inventory, Stock is more selective about what they accept now.  And the quality bar has risen.

Compare your work with current Stock inventory to determine if Stock needs more representation of that subject or not. As an example, Stock currently contains over 29 million Flowers-- far more than demand requires.  The same is true for Abstracts which currently exceed 52 million. 

The current challenge for contributors is finding new and unique subjects and closely examining them beforehand to ensure they meet the highest visual & quality standards.  It's not as easy today as it was previously. 

I hope that helps.

Either you know or you guess, but in this case, you guessed, because real humans are moderating the submitted assets. 

On the accepted assets, you don't see the full quality, until you licence. So, you can't say, they have the same quality.
