Hi everyone,

 

I'm pretty new here and wanted to upload one of my photo's. However, I just found out that it got rejected due to ''Quality Problems''. Anyone knows what's wrong with it? 

 

Thanks in advance 🙂

You have noise in the sky and the grey building and also in the main subject.

The area to the left is underexposed, and the big sign is disturbing and may be an IP violation. The main  subject lacks some contrast.

 

The image composition is not great.

Noise issues aside, this composition is not suitable for commercial use.  Too much of your main subject (building) is blocked by other elements.

 

Before you submit more images, examine current Stock inventory in your keyword description.  It helps to see what other contributors are doing and what Stock accepts.

 

Also read your Stock Contributor Guide for more tips.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

 

Thanks for your reply! I see it yeah, I think this is because I used a film simulation recipe on my Fuji. So basically I can't upload anything made with a film simulation right? Because it has too much noise?

 

I'll be sure to keep it in mind though! :))

Never use any filters that modify the image to give it a specific look. Submit clean images. The buyer can apply the filters if they want to do so, but they can never remove the effect, if they do not need it or like it. 

 

Film simulation adds normally film like noise. They also work the contrasts and all other optical clues to make your pictures look like they are taken with an old film camera. Film cameras did not have the clinical clean look digital photography has, but that is, what is required on Adobe stock (and in general on any stock site).
