I have been a contributor to Adobe (Fotolia) since 2016, and during this time, only six of my images have been rejected.

Today, after waiting for over two months without any reviews, a batch of images was reviewed. Some were accepted, others were rejected due to "technical reasons."

    Your file has one or more of these issues:

    Your vector file contains a raster/bitmap image, and vector files must not contain raster elements.
    Your JPEG preview file has been compressed too much, so textural problems have occurred in the file.
    Your JPEG preview resolution must not be less than 5,000 X 3,000 (15 million pixels)
    You didn't use anti-aliasing when exporting your vector file to JPEG, so there are problems with lines on the JPEG file.

I upload only EPS files, not JPEGs, and there are no raster elements in the files. Additionally, these images are part of a series, yet some were accepted while others were rejected. There are no technical issues.

What gives?

 Like Firefly for creating images and photos, Firefly for Illustrator will be able to create entire vector graphics from scratch. And like the other Firefly models, the vector model, too, was trained on data from Adobe Stock.

In its beta, Illustrator will now let you create entire scenes through a text prompt.

And here is the info from Adobe:

What's left to wonder is who will they train their AI on in the future when we are no longer needed for creating vector graphics.

Is there an option to search in my own portfolio in my dashboard. I can do it from my public profile but then I can't see how many downloads there are for the image.
On Fotolia I was able to search in my public profile and see the number of downloads there.

When I upload my vectors some are looking fine, but other are showing as blank images or just part of the image. For example the contour is missing.
Then those that are not properly uploaded are rejected of course.
This is all random and there is nothing wrong with the files themselves.
I am wondering if there is a possibility the images to be damaged during the ftp transfer or is it something to do with Canva.
I am using WinSCP to upload my drawings and I never received an answer from Canva so could  you share if you have the same problem or is it only me.

Is transferring account from a personal to a business account something that is generally allowed on all microstock sites or should I check individually.
Also I am reading Shutterstock policies and they say I will be required to obtain and enter a U.S. Employer ID Number but I am not a U.S. citizen.
Does it concern only U.S. citizens?

I was wondering is it allowed to create illustrations for mircrostock using the default brushes in Procreate.
I asked the creators of the app and they said yes, but is it ok with the stock sites. Until now I've used only brushes created by me.

I think I've read here that I could set my own price for the extended license on Fotolia.
Is it really possible as I can't find such an option.

Can someone explain this part from the permitted uses of their extended license:

prints, posters (i.e. a hardcopy) and other reproductions for personal or promotional purposes, resale, license or other distribution;

What does resale mean in this case?

The short explanation of Extended license is this:
Multi-use plus extended printing, resale and seat rights.

Can you search in your own portfolio?
I don't remember if I've already uploaded a picture and I can't find an easy way to check.

How do you import your IPTC data for vectors on Canstock ?
For all the other sites I enter my keywords in the jpg file.

Hello,

I am new to microstock.
Are compound paths allowed for vector submissions ?

Thanks!
