Title: In the spirit of the Holidays - these are a few of the things that I love
Post by: Uncle Pete on December 12, 2018, 21:21
No really

"Thanks for giving us the chance to consider your image. Unfortunately, during our review we found that it contains one or more technical issues, so we can't accept it into our collection."

Love/hate, what technical issues? But thanks for keeping up the standards Adobe.

"Thanks for giving us the chance to consider your image. Unfortunately, during our review we found that it doesn't have the aesthetic or commercial appeal we're looking for, so we can't accept it into our collection."

Same as the other, more information, but still, keep rejecting crapstock, junk, duplicates (not similar) and things that make the site look bad.

I honestly feel that holding up the higher standards, makes the collection and the integrity of our images, look better for buyers.

It is sad to say, but we reached the point to be happy to have images rejected :D

that 's why in adobe and istock things still works for new images....more than 1000 images for christmas prepared this winter...in fotolia and stock sell a lot, in fotolia everyday 10 dollar only from those images since two months....in shuttestock....12 dollar in 2 months....12 dollar?!!!...i keep sell only images who are already on top popular search...the rest if not sold between one day from the moment they are uploaded go straight through the toilet...unbielievabe was they are doing...all made  simply to secure big factory a  strong profit...if you search christmas popular there are always the same images, that's why some contributor  still sell a lot even uploading 10 images every   60 months. nobody will search new images in ss nobody can even imagine to find anything interesting in that mess of crap spam wrong keyboard...indian and russian spamming like there will not be a tomorrow....is not a case they eliminated relevant and since that moment new images sales simply disappeared...apart rarely case. ss is the only agency with just to way of searching , guess why.

what is surprising is that people are still uploading like crazy despite clearly the fact that the same happen to ever contributor...the level of sale is near the same or increase very small for all agency, but the content, in eery agency reach the million per eek...i mean there will be a point where very contributor will realize that uploading doesn't change nothing and simply stop uploading and producing content...but when...really i see people especially from low cost producing country uploading thousand of content per wee but for what.

Sure is, but I'm happy that one agency has seen the light and is upholding standards.

I'm looking at where our income has been increasing and where more buyers are coming, more than any other. We have no control over what someplace else will do, or if they will accept 2,000 shots of blurred cars, clouds, weed or who knows what.

Some people here and other forums have complained loudly about the spam portfolios and accepted crapstock. AdobeStock is a place that doesn't sink to that.  :)

The first to accept any crap was iStock.
Then came Shutterstock
Then Dreamstime
Then all the other except Adobe.

Now, let's see how much time will pass before than Adobe follows the trend…

"most photos" accepted everything from day one though of course they are not exactly a key player ;-). Deposit photos are currently revisiting stuff they rejected years ago with is a first I believe. Canstock seem to be going for an  all or nothing policy depending on the mood of the reviewer. RF123 seem to have given up reviewing at all!
