Title: Do not understand illustrative editorial on AS
Post by: Hildegarde on March 02, 2020, 12:27

Would someone please explain to me why photos of ballot box (has logos etc from US county doing election, no recognizable person) etc are not illustrative editorial images? 

Rejection: File is not illustrative editorial

I had a go at explaining it in a blog post: https://backyardsilver.com/adobe-illustrative-editorial-stock-images/

I think they will have rejected yours because they are more interested in products and the illustration of those products in interesting ways. It is a very very grey line between what is a product and what is just a protected symbol I guess.

Can you post the image here so we can take a look. Usually when that rejection reason is applied it's for one of two reasons. There are recognizable people in the image or the file could be submitted for commercial licensing without a release.
