Hello, Could I get some more info please

Thanks in advance

The image is artful, but is out of focus, a strange unnatural tint, and has significant artifacts and noise in the background section to the left. It looks you've used a brush to soften the background, but have hit the edges of the petals as well, making them lose their shape and texture.

Thank you Jill

Thanks Nancy, I'll keep that in mind. Cheers

As a rule, Adobe Stock customer's prefer high quality, natural looking, full color photos that we can use in our own projects.  If the project warrants it, we will apply or own filters & colorizing.

I agree with @Jill_C . Still, I think the biggest issue is the focus.

Hello, Just wondering if I reduce the size of the image, do you think that will work for a resubmission? 🙂

[Jill_C]

You mean cropping it to eliminate some of the background? No, it won't matter, because you still have the soft focus problem which cannot be fixed.

Hey Jill, I meant reducing the number of pixels in the whole image (no cropping). This with have the effect of reducing the blur size when viewed at 100%.

NO, NO, NO.  Removing pixels from a poor image will make it WORSE, not better.

For best results, start your art projects in Photoshop with the proper canvas size. DO NOT be tempted to make images bigger (upsample) after creating them because it looks bad and Adobe Stock will not accept them.

Technical requirements

• Submit images in JPEG format.
• Use color space sRGB
• Minimum image resolution: 4 MP (megapixels)
• Maximum image resolution: 100 MP (megapixels)
• Maximum file size: 45 MB (megabytes)
• No watermarks or timestamps
• Do not upsample your files; submit the maximum file size that your camera can produce.

If you need more help with using Photoshop to set-up your canvas/artboard, please post your questions in the Photoshop Community Support forum.
