Before the upload limit is imposed, the units that review real photos and AI photos should be separate. Right now, people who don't even have any visual knowledge can create AI images with a text. I guess a small percentage of the AI images submitted are accepted. I'm sure those who produce AI on this forum are doing very well. But I'm very curious how many images of someone who has a screenshot of "67k AI images waiting to be reviewed" that I saw on a different forum last week will be accepted.

Just as video, illustration, vector are different, real photos and AI photos should now be categorized separately. and reviewed separately. This way, real photos won't have to wait in the review queue for such a long time.

seems too many here, esp'ly the anti-AI folk resort to baseless personal attacks on other artists as "non-professional" or lacking in traits, training & knowledge that make someone a 'real ' artist without actually knowing the artist or their background

to the buyer (the only one who really counts), there's no difference between AI & camera-generated images (same argument used in the early days that digital couldn't match 'real photos.

then there are the conspiracy false claims that companies are not reviewing their more deserving images. nonsense! agencies choose what will sell, not whether the image should hang in an art gallery.

shift happens - stop whinging & produce what sellsl today, not last week.

Seems that your wish to advocate Ai mislead you to miss the topic.
Topic is reviewing time and FACT that non Ai files much longer linger in a review limbo.
It is quite reasonable for artists to think what is going on with their work or is it everything ok with the platform on which they submit their artwork.

In one thing you are 100% right - to the buyer (the only one who really counts), there's no difference between AI & camera-generated images.
Considering that it is quite understandable why so many people here ask why Adobe prioritize what is offered to the buyer.

Oh...and one more thing.
Lack of accepting other people opinion in that much measure that you call them whining says about you a lot. Way much more than you think.
Have a nice day.

pointing out logical fallacies does not mean i advocate AI (i've dabbled, but AI is a tiny portion of my portfolio & workflow)

It's completely on topic as a response to the unsupported claims about AI effects on review time, especially your claiming as fact that AI is the cause of long review times - you've shown no actual evidence - correlation is not causation. the lengthy reviews were a common complaint before AI made an entry and AI images can also get lost in the swamp of uploads.

i respect the opinions of others, until they present, as fact, statements they can't support with actual evidence - just SWAG guesses about review processes & agency search algorithms (aka whinging). anecdotes don't count.

I have some AI generated images that are already 3 months in review.... then almost 3 months for bunch of photos...
the only media that is reviewed in a week are videos.

I am sitting at 40. Could I please ask you to report here once it goes over 56 days (8 weeks) if it still hasn't been reviewed?

Adobe Stock photo tip of the day: Shoot Christmas themed imagery in September 2024 and they will be on market by September 2025. Shoot back to school images now so that they will be on the market by next school year.

Buyers are going to realize that AdobeStock is "old" stock and head over to other sites, like Shutterstock - who only take 48 hours to review and make available to buyers.

It took ten weeks, but I just had some images clear review, and to my pleasant surprise, one sold immediately.

BT1976 · « **Reply #109 on:** September 05, 2024, 17:15 »

I think this late acceptance period worked for Shutterstock and iStock. While the earnings were always close, Adobe fell behind the other two agencies by 1/4 in August. (A few extended license sales over $50 may also have been effective. Adobe only had one sale for $26.40).
But while all sales related to the period were frequent in other agencies, Adobe is still waiting for review.
I upload regular content every day. Half of the content I uploaded 1 month ago was accepted, the other half is waiting. Some of the content I uploaded last week was accepted, the other is waiting. " If I had worked only with Adobe, I would have had a hard time. ) . (It is the first time that istock is accepted late. Editorial content is reviewed in 2 days)

(Number of pending files: 283. All real photos).

for most topics you can't tell which are old since image dates shown are based on acceptance date, not submitted

of more importance it depends on the content - seasonal content certainly benefits from fast reviews. but travel, landscapes, historical, backgrounds, patterns, etc don't depend on dates. and if you're uploading steadily, you have a steady stream of new content appearing.

over 2 months here now .. so that is longer than their "8 weeks"

Some of my AI images get reviewed the same day, but hand painted png illustrations take up to 3 weeks. Traditional photography takes 1-2 months to review and don’t sell as well as AI for me.

I'm trying to be champion and the record holder. Now: "Submitted 6 months ago" for my oldest. The rest are only 24 days.

It seems that some people are getting images reviewed and others seem to get buried never to be seen again, I am wondering if it is worth deleting images and resubmitting them to get them back up the top of the Q?

It has worked for me on a handful of occasions in the past to resubmit the stuck files and they have been reviewed more quickly. But there is no need to delete the older ones first, you can delete them if the newer ones get reviewed. Otherwise I would leave the older ones there in case they get reviewed first, and then I would delete the newer ones.

Deletion of uploaded files is treated same as file rejection and effects on your stats and sales.

The "Gurus" on YouTube are busy making videos and selling courses on how to automate creating, upscaling, tagging, uploading thousands of images on Adobe.

Monday Morning. Adobe stock staff meeting. Everyone a bit grumpy because they had to come to work after weekend

Tim (The Boss, grumpier than the rest, because Adobe Shares are down on Nasdaq): Ok, what is new?
Tammy (Business Analyst): Many 1000s of contributor uploads last 2 days, new record
Firefly (Evil AI that never sleeps): *grump* *click* *chomp* "clack* *grump*
John (Intern whiz kid): There are now YouTube videos about automating Adobe stock upload process

Tim (still grumpy because he planned to cash his stock grant this morning): That's it! It has to stop. Ideas?
Yee Wen (lead algorithm architect. Only one not grumpy because he sold Adobe shares last week): Well, we could introduce upload contribution limit, pro-rated as per contributor overall rank
Firefly: *grump* *click* *chomp* "clack* *grump*
John (with evil twinkle in his eye): I have better idea! Let's just not review files. Let them pile up. Disk space is cheap. Eventually they will get bored and stop uploading
Yee Wen (trying to redeem himself, as he didn't think of this): And I can configure Firefly to alert human reviewer only if it thinks image is exceptional!
Tammy (mad at whole world because she and her boyfriend just had a breakup): And announce something like "Reviews will take up to 8 weeks", just to give them hope

Tim (bit less grumpy, because Adobe shares just jumped back up): Make it so Number 1! But only for regular images; Editorial and AI submissions still get quick human reviews. Firefly can automatically reject the rest after few months in the sin bin.
Firefly: *grump* *oh yes* *click* *oh yes* *clack* *yes yes yes yes*

Allie (janitor passing by, after finishing her night shift): And I can have fun reading all conspiracy theories on that Internet Forum during my coffee breaks!

Something is utterly broken with Adobe review process.....

Vectors submitted 5 or 6 days ago are pending in " in review " section and half of vectors submitted yesterday and day before are approved, other half of those batches is still pending.

I have a strange feeling that those files are gonna be lost in review limbo.

If that is the case with deleting stuck files, then the effect would be negated when re-uploading them back into the queue?
