    I'm gonna read all the specifications I think, but it would be nice to have a specific answer because you can't improve when you don't know what's wrong and you're making a guess, which perhaps won't be accurate.

    Moderators do not have the time to do that. Even selecting from several refusal reasons costs time. And then, moderators refuse at the first error they seee. They won't check further.

     

    Sorry to express it as such: A contributor is supposed to be a professional knowing about quality and IP and anything else. Moderation is not done to make a better contributor of you, but to protect customers from bad assets.  If you have problems finding out about the possible causes of the rejection, Adobe established this forum for you to help.

    Your both of your pictures are highly noisy. 

    That's one of the very classic refusal reasons (included in Quality) that you can get.

    The skin textures look like plastic, or mannequin-like. And the top one is too dark in any case.

    Most likely for Quality/Technical Issues.

     

    What reason did Adobe Stock give you for the rejections?

    The answer is "Quality problems"

    I'm gonna read all the specifications I think, but it would be nice to have a specific answer because you can't improve when you don't know what's wrong and you're making a guess, which perhaps won't be accurate.

    Thank you for your help

    Of course I'm willing to learn. But I have sold my firt 3 pics and I was shocked by the royalties. The pictures have been sold 63.99 euros each and I earned 0.53, 0.62 and 0.96 US$. What the heck???


    Apparently you didn't read about the royalty structure before setting up your account. Click on the Royalties link at the bottom of your Contributor page to understand how it works.
