Good to see that Mat is here and well.

P.S. I am still more and more convinced that Adobe moderation team is full of incompetent people with no previous knowledge about art or photography that "passed" some kind of a week or so training that they received from "experienced" coworkers.

I have also noticed an unusual rate of rejections from Adobe.I’ve been with them for a long time and there’s nothing wrong with the images that are being rejected.

please adobe fix the high number of files rejection. this is so sad. i am loosing my motivation.

cobalt · « **Reply #229 on:** June 27, 2023, 04:05 »

Both photos and ai are all accepted in the last 5 days.

So at least for me things are perfectly normal. Also a revised image was accepted.

Back to around 95% acceptance. Must be something right with my workflow.

As Mat said, you can eventually ask him help sharing your account and files rejected number, he could give opinion, otherwise it's useless to complain in blind mode

Personally I didn't find great problems in last weeks, some rejections yes but nothing to complain.
The only bad thing really changed is the timing of review for AI illustration.
I contribute with both photo, also editorial, and clips

A few images made it through today. Many rejected but for a new reason. Before it was "Quality Issues" (nonsense); now it's "Similar Image(s) already submitted". In most cases that's not true either - nothing similar has been accepted or submitted before (although a few had been submitted and rejected for "quality issues"). I'm going to try smaller batches.

So true, it's much better in hidden mode!

Ok, got hit with a serial batch reject.

Will look at them again later, at the moment I am miffed.

I think it is important to upload only 2-3 files and not everything at once.

But my ai files got accepted, so there is some balance.

This totally sums it up, and so does this quote "we are just spinning wheels here."

The sad thing is that this random and senseless "serial batch reject" issue is messing with my livelihood and has absolutely no logic attached to it.

Smaller batches also don't seem to make a difference, it appears to be all accepted as per what was normal in the past and is normal still on other platforms or it is "serial batch reject" brought to you only by Adobe.

Also it is gut wrenching knowing it takes weeks or a month to complete the cycle of randomness when the content is already actively selling on other platforms.

There might be something wrong with them. They were mostly taken with a mobile phone outdoors. My little daily life shots, not high quality 10 000 dollar camera studio shots.

They are already live on istock and other places, noone else declined them, so they will make money.
So it does not have to be Adobe, it could actually be me.

I will look at them again, when I am in a better mood.

Also, since the war and the high cost of energy I am no longer working with good external monitors to save energy costs. This might be part of the problem. My apple pro laptop has a good monitor, but it is a smaller screen.

I have over 20 submissions which have been waiting for two weeks now. In my opinion, they are a step up in quality to the work I did in the past because my new camera/lens combo is that much better. All have been accepted on other sites too.

Anyway, I made a copy of the title and key words for all of them so I can resubmit real fast and with a minimum of effort. If Adobe want to play 'silly buggers', so can I.

Good call, why do something once when you can do it two or three times. At this point it is fairly evident Adobe is not interested in fixing the problem.

Real photographers < ai creators. SaD!

i've had the same experience w batch rejects

but do you not already have the meta data embedded in your images?

I know that there will always be rejections and that contributors won't always agree with them, however with all the tales of rejects, I find a totally different story looking at recent genAI acceptances.

I would give a batch reject to all 5 images of a child holding out an empty bowl as not one image has a total of 10 digits. One could be explained by how the bowl is being held - maybe. The portfolio is small and new:

https://stock.adobe.com/contributor/211451045/lordrul

There are also two iMacs with logos in the portfolio (not in this morning's acceptances) which should have been rejected.

If you look at the other (not hand-related) details of several of those child-with-bowl images, they're a mess - focus in very odd places, stray lines above a tee shirt edge, lots of reasons to reject.

Tick the AI box and they will get accepted, within a few days.

PS. I'm just being sarcastic.

yuriy · « **Reply #245 on:** July 30, 2023, 15:46 »

this is actually worth a try!

Jaggy · « **Reply #246 on:** July 31, 2023, 06:34 »

So, three of my batch were reviewed, one accepted and two rejected for 'similar'. One of the 'similars' was a windmill in the Netherlands. Now, I've only ever photographed one Dutch windmill and that was it. So I'm at a loss to know what it's supposed to be similar to.

It will be resubmitted along with the other rejection.

cobalt · « **Reply #247 on:** July 31, 2023, 12:01 »

Now I had ai files submitted as photo declined for quality. With two, I have to admit there are some artifacts visible at 100% were I removed too many legs or feet. The other look fine to me, but have the plastic look of ai up close.

Perhaps I should have submitted these as illustrations?

However others from the series were all accepted as photos.

I think I will split my batches and make some as illustrations and some as photos, in case the photo vibe is not strong enough.

10-11 pages on this thread and "we are just spinning wheels here"

It is pretty self evident that Adobe has lost its way regarding the whole inspection process.

Far too many people with the same result of "serial batch reject" to be a coincidence.

It's really a shame as Adobe was truly one fine agency and now I am starting to have my doubts as the review times are seriously broken and the rejection rate far too random with no consistency at all.

cascoly · « **Reply #249 on:** August 08, 2023, 13:22 »

after marinating for a month, 2 batches rejected in entirety except for those rejected for ai series not having a model release - were properly submitted under new rules
