Hi, Adobe Stock does not currently offer this service. See on this:: Re: Changing Stock Video Thumbnail If there are any tricks to influence the system here during the upload you will surely find more information in the special video forum areas than here. Greets, v.poth ... View more

Hi, Rejection because of technical problems and their basis you can read here: Quality and technical issues rejected at Adobe Stock In this sense, I think the following aspects are decisive for the rejection: Contrast: Far too high Saturation: Way too strong Composition: The steeple is crooked and not completely in the picture Considering that not all of the possible reasons for rejection are always given by the selectors, I think there are more possible reasons for rejection here. Exposure is incorrect, there are too large areas in the image that are underexposed / overexposed. The image is totally oversharpened and here you can see massive image noise. Artifacts can also be seen massively in the picture. Here you have clearly overdone it in image processing and I advise to inform yourself in the net about non-destructive image processing.

Hi, I don't need any points, they don't give me any advantage in any way. I am a provider of Abobe Stock myself and share the knowledge I have acquired over the years in my spare time in the forums. The other posters do the same. You can take the advice and analysis here or not, that's up to you. But I think a reason why you consider your question not answered would at least be interesting to know for all who try to help here. ... View more

Hi, the image with the spider has, as the histogram in camera raw shows, large areas in the dark areas without any drawing and is therefore to be evaluated as underexposed. For the picture with the flower the histogram shows that there is a white point in the picture, in the middle areas the exposure falls off, a real black point is not present. Here the overall exposure is too flat and the contrasts are therefore missing. I think herefore it is not well/correctly exposed and was therefore rejected by the selector. I think there will be another problem with the sharpness in this picture, because in my opinion this is too small with the main object. Greets, v.poth ... View more

Hi, this is a question that is currently even harder/impossible to answer, as there is a regulation (DSGVO) in the EU where there are even more restrictions regarding digital photography of people without its consent. There is still a lot of uncertainty here and this is currently being intensively discussed among photographers and stock suppliers. According to this regulation, for example, only professional employed press photographers are apparently allowed to take editorial pictures and sell them. But as I said, everything is still in the balance and people are generally waiting to see what will happen after 25 May 18, when the transitional period for the regulation ends, and whose interpretation will be made clearer by court rulings.

Hi, I think you can only judge this if you insert the example pictures here in the comments area. If the three persons in both pictures are always the same and here are the model releases correct, it could be that maybe other persons are recognizable somewhere in the picture, or something other is wrong.

Hi, I think if some of the information on the Adobe Stock Supplier Portal were clearer, we would have to answer less of these recurring questions here in the forum. Questions such as "Why are my images not selected", "Is there something wrong with my tax form", "My account is blocked, for what reason and to whom can I contact", etc... In this case, support would certainly have fewer requests to process. It is certainly true that Adobe wanted to facilitate or optimize the upload process for vendors, but I think it's about time that the focus here is also on the analysis possibilities of vendors with regard to the saleability of your accepted image material. This could relieve the selection department and make the search results more optimal for customers, I think. If providers could decide better here before the upload, what pictorial material I will actually upload in the future that can increase my sales and meaningfully supplement the image database. Views/downloads are a possibility to judge the success/failure of his pictures. But here you never know if it was the picture itself or maybe only the keywords that it has so little or no views/downloads. For example, if I could see with which keywords my images were found/purchased, as a provider I could do an optimization here. If, for example, the image material would contain a general assessment of the selectors' saleability when considering the comparable image material available in the database, the learning curve of the providers would certainly be steeper and the providers could optimize their image offerings correspondingly faster. Here is certainly still technically by means of AI air upward and further innovation makes possible which could help the provider here. Why is there nothing on the Adobe site like the bestseller ad on the Fotolia site? Always well attended by buyers and good for sales and motivation of the supplier. Why is there no ranking system comparable to Fotolia at Adobe Stock in terms of motivation and recognition that allows a comparison of the performance of individual providers? I think Fotolia has had a really good and successful impact on the providers and motivated them effectively. Adding this to the Adobe Stock System certainly makes sense and would promote sales. I think that on the Adobe Stock portal, not only the premium vendors but also the standard vendors should be given good attention and presence and their commitment should be encouraged. This important point does not seem to me to be sufficiently taken into account in the concept of the Adobe Stock Page. ... View more

HI, I don't think that an employer with a hiring of a professional presupposes that he must explain this his job and train him also still. We are not employees here, but suppliers of image material comparable to that of a freelancer. The agency is not a program that must be easy to use for every provider, but a database that sells professional images.  I think, although all agencies here strive to promote hobby offerers in the sense of the profit maximization, but no one can expect here as offerers the occupation of the photographer/illustrator to get obtained. Nobody can expect to be informed about all his mistakes in the picture and to expect exact instructions for their correction. Either I work professionally and know what I'm doing or I do not. ...

Hi, generally you as contributor assure to be the owner of all rights with every upload, additionally you must submit this in writing and with signatures on paper with required model/property release. The area of illustrations is not sufficiently explained here with regard to releases in the Adobe Guide and here should certainly be improved in order to clarify this and to avoid such misunderstandings in the future, I think. The vendor received a request to deliver a release, but did not deliver it because he did not know how. He could have found out exactly what to do here, on the net, in the Adobe Forum... In this respect, everything is the same as for any other picture provider. Why should purely digital image creators be subject to different rules and receive more information about rejection than other providers? I think everyone who uploads pictures here is in a debt as far as the guaranteed commercial usability of these by an agency is concerned and must know what he uploads. I think it is a mistake the provider upload pictures to earn money with it and think the agency would have to point out all errors and violations of law with each uploaded picture and provide accordingly compelling assistance. In my opinion, it is too often forgotten where one actually works as a picture maker. Professional standards/rules apply and everyone should be aware of them when uploading images to an image agency. ... View more
