Hello,
I am a contributor with AI photos, and today my picture is rejected, with reason "quality issue"

This is picture which is rejected

Compared to this, this is example of cleary bad quality picture with terrible outlines and lot of noise, but that picture is accepted and exist on Adobe Stock

Don't understand me wrong....I am not professional, I am hobbyst and still need to learn a lot, also I don't want to judge this picture, I just put an example and want that someone explain to me, how is possible that my picture don't pass quality standard, and this one picture pass it? Also, I want that someone who is professional explain me what I should to change on my picture, because I want to improve myself and be better in future.

Thanks in advance, Ivan

Frames are not desirable. You've cut off the edges of the lips. The shadow doesn't make sense.

Don't waste your time searching the database for images which you deem to be of worse quality than yours. You'll always be able to find some, and the fact that they exist in the database doesn't mean that Adobe should continue to accept sub-par quality.

This is simple. No frames or borders allowed. 😶

I already get that answer. Also when I start, I was read user guide, and I must read that frames are not allowed, but I forgot it. After this experience, I will not repear same mistake again.

Ditto what @Jill_C said about the frame and making comparisons to other assets in the database. But even if the frame wasn't a problem in and of itself, the lips are cut off on the corners. As for the lipstick, if it was freshly applied, I don't think it would come to a sharp point. There's also a drawing error in the tube that surrounds the lipstick. And the lipstick itself looks more like a slice of watermelon. I know, maybe I'm being picky. But so are the moderators.

I will not comment part of your post which is same what @Jill_C wrote allready....because I already commented that in reply above. About tube, I don't think that is bad, maybe white segment on top can be corrected, and some other small corrections. And lipstick which look like a slice of watermellon maybe can have dull instead of sharp top. And it is ok to be picky, I am enthusiast and self-critic person, and I respect honestly critics rather than fake praises.

I don't compare because of judgement, I compare to make a better version of myself, in other words, I trying to correct my own mistakes from other examples of same subject. If I understand your replicate...that picture from my example can be much older on site, when database was smaller, so as database grow, there will be stronger policies in quality? Is that point correct?

I don't know fact about frames....so that is good advice to avoid them in future. And also I realy don't know that is important that object don't be out of frame...of course I don't think that cut half of lips is good, but I don't know there are problem if little piece on edge is cutted.

I just have one more question...I am pretty new to contributing on Adobe Stock, so even if my picture is declined is allowed to correct mistakes, and reupload same picture? For example, if I erase frame and maybe lipstick too, am I alowed to re-submit picture of lips? (with adding/draw missing edges)?

Im doing sublimation print. That job don't require professional skills, because customers buy products as a gifts, and even if I am not satisfied with product, in most cases they can't notice mistake. And my job is mainly reason why that frame was interested from me, because if I print a mug fo beauty salon, for example, I am sure that basic person will be satisfied with that mug. But also I understand your point, and I am agree that we need to think more wide what buyer will need. I am not illustrator, photograph, artist, etc. so I can call myself as a designer, but even if I have enough skills to design products in my job, I am real person and I can't call myself as a professional designer, because I still need to learn a lot. But I like design, and if I back to my first days, or days when I start sublimation (that was not long time ago), I improve myself from that days.

I don't think that AI can do your job. In my point, AI is just helpful tool, not just to make elements for you, it help a lot that peoples with lower skills learn and better understand how photography composition work.

And about buyers who complain...I don't want to sound cruel, but I personally don't care about it. I know how much time I spent in it, and can imagine how much time (much more) spent professional designer, to learn it, no one have rights to complain on it. In database with millions of pictures it is impossible that you don't have junk, and if buyer think that he spend lot of time to search for what he need, fine...he can try to make elements with his own skills. That is like you search something on Amazon, and complain how many junk they have (and they have junk for sure).

However, I learn few more things today, and thanks for that.

"And about buyers who complain...I don't want to sound cruel, but I personally don't care about it."

You may not care about it, but Adobe does. And if a contributor receives too many complaints, that is a check mark against their status as a contributor. Adobe doesn't want to waste time returning credits to dissatisfied buyers.

I think what you're trying to say here is that there is no accounting for taste when it comes to buyers. And I agree with you on that. But that is no reason to submit even marginally acceptable assets, especially when a contributor is well aware themselves that the asset is substandard.
