Of course it is

Seems like they've found a loophole, they haven't done any of these:

Flipping the image
Providing various cropped versions
Providing the same image with different exposures
Providing images with spot color effects or in black and white
Changing the background color
Applying image filters

https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/similar-vs-spamming.html

Maybe Adobe should add a line about different text on similar images... unless this is allowed.

What is it?

I cannot see, I am being redirected to adobe stock.

Offtopic, this was the first article on stock (from an agency) that does not refer to a source on images shown, either credits to a creator. At least the first I noticed

Ok, if AS do not want to sell it, let's buy this image from SS then...

Not on Adobe but Twenty20, this guy from (political correctness off) Ukraine, just started few months ago, just crops, reversed, angle change. Now the largest portfolio on T20 !

Same for me, no portfolio just display "search photos by Egor" or "Search photos by photon_photo", nothing shows.

OMG I see what you mean with those two portfolios. I can’t believe they let this similar crapola through the queue. Wow, how times have changed in the microstock world.

pancaketom · « **Reply #10 on:** May 13, 2019, 16:04 »

wow, I am quite curious how many sales that can generate - or how many above just a few variations would sell. If the keywords are actually different then they might not appear to spam actual search results. It is surprising that this is allowed though.

I picked one totally at random, and there would seem to be hundreds of in-uses out there (just looked at the thums, couldn't see if they were the same or similars with different text.
Of course, some of them may be nicked, but still ...
Interesting: back in the day iS for one said not to put text on images as the customers could easily do their own. Given how few buyers of my images ever crop or resize them, I was never convinced.
