Retry image

[BrunoVids]

I am just new at stock community. I have a image refused and I am pretty sure I can reedit it and make it way more professional. Am I going to be penalized if I do so?

It is okay to re-edit and resubmit an image; however doing that multiple times is considered spamming the database which is against Adobe's rules. If you upload the rejected image here, you can request feedback from fellow contributors as to how it can be improved, if at all.

Thank you. I have a pretty good ideia about what I need to do. If I got rejected twice I will request some feedback from you guys. Thank you again!

Hi,

besides what Jill wrote, maybe consider the following also.

Before you submit, please review the submission guidelines carefully and compare your work with other Stock inventory. To be accepted, your work should be as good or better than what's already represented in your keyword category.

To date, I have only resubmitted one rejected image, which was uploaded within Lightroom at 72 dpi and a whopping 85"x125" in size. Lightroom probably accepted it since it was still within range of the required megapixels. Fixing the issue was simple enough and I resubmitted it immediately.

I have other rejected images that I may consider re-editing at some point, but I prefer to let some time pass before doing so. I have other, new material to work on in the meantime, so I don't stress over rejected images all that much. If they start to affect my acceptance to rejection ratio substantially enough to be concerned, then I may give my rejections a little more attention if I feel they can actually be fixed. The majority of my rejections happened when I first started submitting to Adobe Stock and they really aren't worth bothering with at all. They're just plain bad. 🙂 

[Jill_C]

You have a healthy attitude about your rejections - learn from them and move on. Many Contributors aren't willing to admit "they're just plain bad"!  🙂 

[BrunoVids]

Thank you for the tip. I will try that image once again before I move on. I am not having the time to go to field photoshooting but I deffenely found my theme here, a vector that I submitted was aceppted and I will keep on working in that aesthetics

Hm, the ppi value should not make a great difference, as it is only a number in the EXIF data. I set all my exports to 300, but that is because I prepared my assets always for print. But it is essential to understand that the value has no actual function, except in InDesign, to influence the size of the preview image for linked assets.

[daniellei4510]

Interesting. The 72 dpi image that was rejected was accepted at 300 dpi. Maybe it just went to a different moderator. There were no flaws in it otherwise that I could determine. However, if I view the image at Print Size at 300 dpi (24"x24"), compared to Print Size at 72 dpi (100"x100"), then flaws otherwise invisible to the naked eye start to appear. So perhaps the moderator viewed the image at Print Size rather 200%, which makes a noticable difference. Anyway...it's up. 

[Abambo]

When you check a picture on the screen, you check it at 100%: one pixel in the picture is one pixel on the screen.

I had some assets that I needed to submit 3–4 times before I “fixed” the error, which was in my case an IP violation.
