Hello, Personally, I think it is good that Adobe is becoming even stricter. I'm afraid to say that the examples you posted, I think Adobe has justification. For example, in this shot (0689), the exposure is unbalanced—you have made the sky too dark, so that it does not balance with the rest of the photo.   The middle ground and foreground are too light. The sky shouldn't be darker than the rest of the photo. It is clear that you made the upper part of the photo darker; this has resulted in the exposure being unbalanced.   Composition could also be improved. In my personal view, other stock sites are not so strict—Getty (iStock, which Getty bought) accepts almost anything. There are a lot of poor images on their website. Composition and exposure are some of the things that can be improved on.   Exposure: https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/photography/discover/exposure-in-photography.html Composition: https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/photography/discover/photo-composition.html ...

Hello, You'll need to post an example if you would like some feedback. All photos from the camera need some adjustments in post-processing. The only photos that came 'straight out of the camera' were the Polaroids! (As far as I know.) ... View more

Just to give you an idea - the light is too yellow - the camera wasn't quite correct in the white balance, and the blurred branch ideally, should be removed—which can be done using the Generative AI remove tool in Lightroom/Photoshop Camera Raw:     ... View more

It is hard indeed to avoid them. So, that's why one will always have a problem in such situations. When people can be recognised, you will need a model release for each and every person. It's not practical of course, so avoid submitting such photos! ... View more

Hello, You need to pay attention to the composition in your photos. I don't think the rejection is due to AI, but I don't know how it is done! This is more of a 'need to know' basis! 😁 ... View more

Hello, For your 'caboose' photo, the wire above the carriage should be removed. I think there are some minor exposure issues as well. Shadow areas could be lightened a bit. ... View more

Hello, I think all your photos have a green cast, so you ought to try to reduce that a bit, as well as increasing the contrast and so on. E.g: I do wonder about the subject matter, though. How can these images be used in a commercial environment? What is the selling point?   ... View more

Hello, You could add more contrast to the protea flowers, and you could remove this at the bottom: The photo needs a bit more 'punch' to it. Marina looks over-sharpened, and the white balance is not quite right. The composition is not very good in 3808. Overall, composition, white balance, lack of contrast and over-sharpening come to mind when I see them. Bear in mind, there are myriads of flower photos in the database. It is not good subject matter for stock.   ... View more

Hello, .... Just help me understand - do you even guys curate the content or you reject it for some reason automatically because you have a bad day? I feel like there is no reason for the content to be rejected by this reason.   Thanks By @anastaziet85725981   You actually are not talking to Adobe Staff in this forum; only fellow contributors. We don't have any say in what gets accepted or rejected. As mentioned, if you want, you could post a couple of examples for others to see what you mean. Rejections won't have anything to do with anyone having a bad hair day!😊 And, it would seem they are indeed curating the content even more carefully than before. ... View more

From a compositional point of view:   You have part of the aerial going out of the picture.   Secondly, mobile phone towers, which are now placed everywhere, have destroyed the view of a nice old bell tower.

In my view, you could improve on the composition. The angle isn't quite right, and there's too little space at the top. Exposure as well could be better.

White balance could be improved a bit; it has a slight yellow cast to the picture, and you could add more contrast and remove the shadow on the right side.

Hi, I don't understand what's the "quality" issue with these photos. can anyone enlighten me? By @Ewelina_Wojsz8873   Sure! Composition is a big issue in these photos - which is part of the quality rejection! Compare your photo with those in Stock - 'wild strawberries growing in a forest'. Your composition could do with some improvement.   Wideo Stock: Wild strawberries grow red in forest. Wild woodland strawberry with ripe red fruits in a forest. Close up. | Adobe Stock   Photos need some adjustments. In the old days, photos that were printed from a negative in a darkroom had adjustments made during the developing and printing process!

Hello, You have a problem with the white balance - it's too green. You need to reduce the green tone somewhat to something like this: Using the tone curve (in Lightroom/Photoshop), you can isolate the RGB channels and balance the colours.   ... View more
