Hello,

It seems that you are using a smartphone for this picture - according to your metadata. So, with such phones artifacts are going to be a problem - especially when you increase them in size. Below was enlarged 111%. I guess you took this in JPEG format right? So, this is already a compressed file. Therefore, when enlarged you are going to get signs of artifacts like this:

See how 'blocky' the leaves are. This is due to the JPEG compression.

In all honesty, generally speaking, it is better to have a camera with a bigger sensor and one that can take raw, rather than JPEG -

especially if you are considering uploading to Adobe Stock (and other stock sites).

To be clear: Phone pictures are accepted by Adobe. But to avoid refusals, all elements need to be optimal, including and specially lightning. Your phone should also have one of the better camera systems. Newer phones are here way better than older ones. I wouldn’t use my iPhone 6 for pictures for stock, because I feel that the required quality level of that camera is not given. I take pictures of my dog with it, and I love them, but they are not usable for stock.

You’re using Lightroom.Do you know that there is a Lightroom Classic CC — The desktop-focused app​ or a Lightroom CC — The cloud-based photo service​ forum to ask your questions related to Lightroom?

Did you submit that picture? You know that the tree in the ball is not sharp? I feel tht the tree needs to be sharp to submit sucessfully such a picture. But it’s a great idea. So go on!

Just to say: Lightroom/Photoshop et al can turn a good picture great, but never a bad picture good.


no, I didn't turn it in to anywhere.  I saw that the tree isn't focused, but I did do one that is.  This was just playing around trying to learn about raw.  I know the tiff file was 83 mgs!!  Is that normal?

Hi konkling, I think you can take out that small pink flower and clean up the area on Photoshop. The rest of the photo looks clear. If you pick the color of your background and erase carefully  - it will leave only background color behind. Make sure it set to background for match color. Leave no traces. Best regards, JH

There are several artefacts in the leaves. This one stroke my eye, before even looking deeper at the image:
