Hi all, I have recently opened an Adobe Stock sales account however have had a lot of my images rejected on the grounds of poor image quality. Now I'm aware that the quality of images has to be high however I found the decision for Adobe to reject some of my photos a little harsh as I personally found them to be of good quality. I have attached some of the images to this post in the hope that any of you can inform me as to why you might think they were rejected. Image size settings JPG format resolution 100 width 3000 height 3500 fit original size resample automatic (constructive criticism welcome)

Have a read of this. It's a brief guide on image quality.

From your images, I think you have a problem with white balance - first two photos as well as it appears to be a bit pixilated, the horse's head - the white part of the nose is blown out - -there is no detail in the white areas, and there should be! I think there is too much contrast in the can pop-top, The bird photos aren't sharp enough - the robin's head appears to be a bit out of focus, the tower seems to be oversharpened etc.
So, overall, the image quality is not so good.

Yes, I do have a tendency to get carried away with the sharpen tool/s now & again 😕 Thanks for the feedback & link it all helps. When you say I have "a problem with white balance" would you say the best tool to rectify that is the brightness contrast, levels, curves & exposure?

The first step would be to use the temp slider in your editing programme - Lightroom for example. Sometimes using the auto button works well. You can always use the Auto tone/ colour etc in Photoshop as well, but only if this was taken in JPEG. It is easier to use colour corrections if you took this in raw format.
