At one point I thought I had understood their Illustrative Editorial system. No significant problem over the years.
For months now, I've been receiving a hail of rejections :

Thanks for submitting your file for review.

Unfortunately, during our review we found that this file does not meet the Adobe Stocks Illustrative Editorial Guidelines.


What is wrong with this picture, for example, by definition, no people, brand bold in the foreground.

Adobe Stock / Am I human
« on: January 16, 2024, 16:41 »
I just wanted to add five photos to my three-month queue at Adobe today. That's ok, I appreciate careful checks.

After I dutifully ticked the box for the new annoying superfluous confirmation for the terms and conditions, a window popped up that I had never seen before:

Are You human?


I would have spontaneously said yes.

But I was presented with 9 pictures in which I had to click on cats. I hate cats. Nevertheless, I passed the test, which fills me with a certain pride.

However, I was very unsure about one picture.

Adobe, are you really serious that I have to research naked cats before I submit my pictures?


Now 2 very urgent questions pop up in my head:

- What kind of stuff do you smoke at Adobe? I might be able to advise you  ;)

- Will I be banned for months if I click on the dog?

Thank You.

At Shutterstock, a real non-AI travel photo (beach scene with people) was rejected today with the reason:

"AI Generated Content: AI generated content is prohibited. Repeated submission of such content will result in account suspension and/or termination."

This is an older photo that I post-processed with Topaz Sharpen and Topaz Gigapixel AI and then with the latest version of Photoshop. I did not use the AI functions of Photoshop. I have been using Topaz for years without any problems.

Does anyone have similar experiences and maybe know where the problem is?

I'm holding off on my uploads for now and waiting for Shutterstock to respond.

It is noticeable that the tone of the agencies has become harsher and more threatening since AI.

Times a topic, which one moves me for a long time.
If you look at landscape pictures for example, the bestsellers are completely oversaturated by the colors and partly overworked beyond recognition - but they are bestsellers.

I noticed this particularly blatantly during my last shoot. I personally don't like the bestsellers, but they seem to sell.

How do you deal with it. Do you all turn your color saturation knob all the way up for better sales chances?

Ok, my shots and the competition bestsellers:
