I think what Adobe is doing is to age our submitted works. Steakhouse does that too with their steaks to make them tastier. It's a technique.

I love Adobe. You wait for over three months to have a batch rejection because none of you work meets their quality standards but the very same images have been accepted and are selling on other sites. It's frustrating to say the least.

Most recent approval time: 11 weeks.

WendyT · « **Reply #153 on:** September 26, 2024, 17:51 »

most recent inspection 2 and a half months, all rejected for "quality issues".

Over 9 weeks now. Still waiting. Several DLs on other sites in the meantime. Whatever the process / motivation, IMHO it is unprofessional

Something changed: seems that only some of my images get approved regardless when they were submitted: a few could be approved in days, but others sit for months… don’t see much logic to it either

Same here, uploaded 300 images like 2 months ago and still I have 75 in pending, never been in this situation with Adobe, I am really curios what is the reason behind it.

I don't bother submitting to Adobe any more. The review process takes far too long and the rejections for "quality issues" are a joke. I've better things to do with my time than waste it on a lengthy and inconsistent process.

It is the inconsistencies for "quality issues" that I find most bothersome. The second most bothersome is that most of my editorial work is immediately accepted and there are absolutely no "quality issues" with those images. I can deal with the wait in inspection times. It's the batch rejections that I know are more than fine backed by the fact they are accepted at a few other noted agencies and the content does sell on those noted agencies. It's the baseless and senseless batch rejections that make me feel I too am wasting my time.

Agreed, and it is the fact that you may have to wait 8 weeks for this to happen that makes it significantly worse. If you had to wait a few days and could possibly edit and resubmit, it wouldn't be nearly as troublesome.

Im seeing similar. Its as if images are pre-sorted by an algorithm, those deemed low risk/easy are passed through a fast track. Those maybe problematic as per subject, image analysis or whatever go to a "further inspection" queue where they can sit for months.

I get a chunk of my queue cleared inside a week whereas others uploaded the same day have been near 6 weeks so far.

How long video reviews currently take? Just want to know if it's still feasable to upload holiday content or if I'm too late.

synthetick · « **Reply #162 on:** September 30, 2024, 06:19 »

Non-Ai video review times are fast, like a couple of days. AI videos are about a month.

I've got 44 non-ai videos waiting a month atm.

Which is a pity, because Adobe are easily the best place to sell videos in terms of download/royalty ratio as far as I can tell.

gnirtS · « **Reply #165 on:** September 30, 2024, 07:40 »

Ive got a few videos 14 days in the queue.

Photo wise, ive got some there 5 months, 4 months. A lot from 2 months ago.
But a big chuck i submitted later than those have been reviewed and approved.

I guess the system is broken. Do i really want to delete 160 or so "stuck" images and reupload. Im starting to assume the 4-5 month ones will never get processed. These are all photos, no AI.

I think everyone is curious as to why reviews now take so long. Not having this problem at Shutterstock.

Presumably it is the onslaught of all the AI submissions?

Not excusing AS times but i think they still have people in the look. Shutterstock havent for a very long time now. Its basically just an algorithm scan and auto approve.

Adobe approves my video submissions within 2-5 days. So, I have nothing to complain about (yet)!

Pacesetter · « **Reply #171 on:** October 05, 2024, 19:45 »

Videos are now taking longer to review with a batch of my most recent ones 12 days in the queue and 2 others for one month.

And even worse, you wait months, they get rejected in batch. They look fine and are selling well on other sites, so you resubmit them, wait another couple months , and the same images that were rejected are now accepted. Something is very broken over there. They're not worth it for me anymore.

What is rejection and a long wait, it is interesting to determine humanity when you upload to AS..

Just had a couple non AI, non Illustrative Editorial files that have been in review for three weeks get approved, meanwhile, I have other files that have been in review for two months that are still waiting.
