maybe you should start selling less so maybe you understand that these new review favor first of all those who already earn well with images,like Cobalt,because now more than ever those who already sell well with commercial images are more difficult to reach.

and I'm talking about the review,I didn't question anything else,because I also think that there are definitely things that can be improved.

okay,you don't understand,and no one pays me to sit here trying to make you see reason,so go ahead and complain about everything,without first thinking carefully about why certain choices were made.

I have to agree with the previous comment, you express your thoughts in quite an incoherent manner, really hard to understand what are you trying to say.

ok,I'll try to be clear in some points:

-with these review the spam for AI commercial images is over.

-since AI spam is over,those who already have thousands of commercial images see reduced competition,if the review continued as before,the decline in sales would increase,for AI commercial images.

-It's not true that Adobe no longer communicates with us,and I'm telling you this from personal experience,have you tried asking some serious questions,other than the time of the review or the rejections?
If you ask serious questions about important issues,Adobe responds.

-these new review,which includes removing images as has been done,as well as restricting the accepted content,although very harsh,also aim to improve the overall quality of the Adobe library,which is a benefit for everyone.


then my personal opinion,certainly shared by many:

given the current state,AI commercial images can only be a secondary gain,commercial images can no longer be the main dish,better produce videos,illustrative editorials,and even vectors in my opinion,at least for now.


then as far as real commercial images are concerned,i don t know,the topic can be more or less the same,even if different perhaps in some points but I won't go into detail here about real commercial images,because at the moment I don't have direct experience,because I haven't produced real commercial images for some time.

Funny how this is the communications business and Adobe fails at communication.

Adobe fails at communication because there is no communication.  Nobody has seen your post.   Raul is AiBot, used as fake account for serial announcements. That's all.

And in the meantime spammed shell portfolio is still alive and well.  Moved from page 1 to page 3, and more obvious similars getting accepted from that contributor.  It defies logic, really

I am super happy with Adobe and I see very few rejections. Over last 300 videos submitted to them, I think only 5 or 6 got rejected that too because of artefacts or noise or shake issues. I observed review happens on two levels, the first level is where some junior level staff reviews and approves and what he or she cannot decide upon, that is passed to next escalated level where a senior guy will inspect and decide the outcome of process. I have never seen unfair rejection. Adobe is one of the friendliest agencies to contributors and glad to see the legacy of Fotolia is being carried well.

I have normal reviews for camera video and no rejections for them.

But camera photos, ai photos and illustrations can get the annoying similar decline.

I am now using the ai declines as a basis for ai videos. Especially the people images that need more post processing time, might make their investment back this way.

I cannot comment on ai video yet, because I am still new to that.

There has been an abrupt change also affecting loads of camera photographers. It is all over the adobe forums and groups. Here an example from the public reddit group.

You see the same declines for camera content in many places.

This did not happen 8 weeks ago.

This situation must be incredibly frustrating, especially given its scale.

My content is quite niche, which may be why my rejection rates are low�there's simply less competition in Adobe's catalog in my area.

It appears that Adobe has implemented this new system because they were overwhelmed with submissions for content that is already well-represented in their library thanks to AI. As you've pointed out before, if we cannot upload new content, our sales will inevitably decline over time.

It's a really unfortunate situation.

I hope things improve soon for everyone.
