I do not see the link to this update. It does not appear on the Creative Cloud menu. How do I get it? Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to view the files and comment on them. I agree with you about the chicken's foot being missing; I knew it was but it was not visible in the original image; it was hidden in the grass and it looked odd to isolate a few tufts of grass. In the future, I will have to be more discrimatory about which files are conducive to isolation and which ones will present problems. You mentioned that you couldn't understand why I included several isolated birds in one image. I have many single, isolated birds if a buyer is interested in that; however, there are buyers who want a variety of songbirds in the same image. These, in fact, are some of my best sellers. One buyer used such an image on bags of bird seed for songbirds. Another point you made is that in some of the images certain parts of the bird lack sharpness. I was always told that the rule of thumb was to get a sharp eye; it the eye was in focus, that was the primary consideration. Birds move very swiftly and erratically, and seldom do they position themselves in a perfectly parallel stance to the camera, permitting sharpness from head to tail. I have many images of birds on Adobe where the tail is blurry but the eye is sharp, so I find it difficult to believe that is the reason the image was rejected. About the bird which is too small for the frame--I had not thought about that, but it is feasible that this is why it was rejected. Thank you for that insight. I have learned some things in this exchange; however, we are still guessing in some cases about the evaluation process. "Quality issues" is too vague; greater clarity is something to work on in this regard. Thank you again for your time and for your feedback. I appreciate it.

Here is one more. Thank you for any suggestions about how to improve it and to explain why it was rejected.

I uploaded several images of birds (PNG images) isolated on transparent backgrounds; however, they were all rejected because of quality issues. I don't understand specifically what the problem is. The images were accepted on other stock sites. Thank you. I want to know what the problem is.

I am the person who originally started the thread about the flickering that happens in Bridge; the date was June 23, 2020. The case was closed with NO RESOLUTION! Here was my original post: "Adobe Bridge 10.10.163 version flickers or blinks when viewing thumbnails in full screen mode After the auto update of Bridge to the current version, 10.10.163, a new glitch has appeared. When I try to view the thumbnails in full screen mode, there is a flicker or blinking on the screen. When I escape from full screen mode and then return to it, the flickering may stop for a few frames but always comes back. I contacted support and was told to clear the cache and restart the computer. That did not solve the problem. It still persists. I was then told to revert to the older version of Bridge. Very frustrating to get "improved" versions that actually are anything but improved as new issues develop. I am asking Adobe to please correct this problem. Thank you." Now, I have Bridge version 11.1.1.185, and the problems persists! I have tried viewing thumbnails in full screen mode by both the pull down menu (full screen preview in Bridge) and the space bar short cut but it doesn't make any difference. The flickering still happens. I shoot in raw mode and process files that are stored on external hard drives. I have a Mac Pro (late 2013) and my OS is Mac Mojave 10.14.6. I contacted Adobe by phone; I tried all sorts of "fixes" but none worked. I have learned to live with this, but sadly, it is very hard on the eyes to watch this strobe type of flickering when working on photo files. It's very unethical for Adobe to continue to treat its faithful clients with a deaf ear and absolutely no explanation or attempt to openly and honestly address this issue. What is the purpose of these "SUPPORT" communities? Isn't support supposed to lead to answers to problems, resolutions to troublesome issues? I've been seeking help for almost two years and NOTHING. Adobe, do you hear us?

Thank you, Ralph, for your insights and for the time you took to point out problems with my image; it's very good to have teaching points one can resort to in the future.

Thank you very much for your informative and educational post; you went above and beyond the call of duty to examine this image and to clarify the ways it can be improved. When I process raw files I am always sure to address noise, exposure, white balance (when it is really evident), and I usually apply unsharp mask as the final touch. Unfortunately, I forget to look for chromatic aberration so your point is well taken, a good reminder to me! Thank you, too, for suggesting that I sharpen parts of the image; I don't usually think of doing that. Your insights have proved very valuable and I thank you again.

Thank you for your response, Nancy; I appreciate your input. I will definitely be resorting more and more to the 100-200% magnification in the future before submitting a file.

Thank you for your input; I appreciate your opinion. I did not do anything to the background; I have no knowledge of focus stacks nor have I ever used that sort of technique. My lens (Nikkor 500mm) has produced that sort of bokeh as long as I have used it which is over a decade now. Thanks again for your response to my question.
