You can't help but wonder if this is just peculiar to the reviewer.   I think it varies from day to day.  I am seing more rejected for "similar."  But similar is very subjective.  Identical images or just generic for a particular town? ... View more

I am reverting to my original contention.  It is all out of control.  Just wait until you get slammed by PicRights with lawyers contending you owe $2500 for a single image of public officials (politicians) used 15 years ago.    Meanwhile, once I get approval for my own creation on Adobe, the "purchaser" now creates a 300,000 public copy for a bond measure.  What do I get?  Peanuts.   It's the old adage. Today, if you are thinking of it, it’s probably illegal.  Images of Barns in Vermont?  Used to be our secret finds. Today, everything is potentially litigious.  I really don't see how you can take any images of a cityscape.   Images of graffiti art.  Now just how are you going to find the “tagger?”  So all comments here are basically supporting Adobe’s own CYA.  None of the comments here protect my own legitimate copyright protections. ...

Well, finally someone who agrees.  Just wait until you get slammed by PicRights and you understand, the copyright issue is now a fruitful landscape for ambulance chasing lawyers.   I repeat the issue of cityscapes with recognizable signage.  The Golden Gate Bridge.  The Empire State building.  Anyone's recognizable "street house property."  Any famous restaurant.  The image in question was taken from a church.  Who made that?  Then installed in a famous Santa Cruz landmark which was destroyed by the 1989 quake.  Then demolished.  You see the chain of command?   In the end, this is not a protection of you, the adobe contributor.  ...

Thank you for the citation.  Unfortunately, you need to be an IP lawyer to really understand all the implications. ... View more

Copyright is out of control.  If you take a picture of a cityscape, but there is a sign with Coca Cola or Acme Iron works, they now claim you must get a release.  What about taking photos of graffiti.  Now, what if you take photos of any block of buildings.  Even taking photos of crowds of people in a protest march.  How do you get a release?    My son sold an image of Carnegie Deli many years ago.  Today, he would be prohibited.  Copyright is out of control.  And BTW does that protect all of us who are contributing?    Pebble Beach claim they own rights to the famous Lone Cypress.  But it is unenforceable. ...

This may be the inevitable evolution of great products.  Just stop "updating!"  Stop making it more improved, Just make it more stable.  So many updates today make products worse.  Everyone but Adobe knows it's getting worse.  Crashes and freezes more and more frequently.  Here's to one, " get your act together!" ...

Does seem to be unanimous.  Why isn't Adobe taking the hint?  The problem is simple.  Keep trying to enhance and update any software.  But it rarely makes it better, just different, bloated and less reliable.  There was a time long long ago, when programs were limited by memory (remember 128k).  So programmers had to be parsimonious and efficient.  No longer.   Acrobat just keeps crashing over and over or just freezes.  If you have to update all these Adobe programs twice-weekly, it tells me you are not making it better. ...

Here is one cynical answer.  Stop updating all these apps every week or more.  All these updates never make apps better.  Usually worse.   If you need to update all the time, it means they dont know how to program bug free software.  ... View more

All probably useless workarounds.  How about just fixing it.  Constant "updates" indicates you have an unstable product.  Does Adobe really care??? ... View more

No these were not scanned.  In fact, most of the scanned images have been accepted.   I may re work and re submit.   ... View more

Well I am very surprised. Thank you for your kind and perceptive comments. I understand all of these comments. There is no need to argue the merits one way or the other.   I am in the process of uploading 40 years worth of photography. This means scanning a variety of cameras, lenses and additional photographic equipment.  View camera, Nikons, Infrared, time lapse, and drones   I also understand the needs of the stock industry. But this is much like the music industry. You can produce popular music or you can produce original music that will stand the test of time. Some of the greatest artists best performances are not the most popular.   I can show you the best of Bruce Springsteen and the best of Dylan.   Not their most "popular" songs or selections.   I do have a problem with the procedure of pixel peeping. And to be honest, despite the above, 80% of all my submissions have been accepted. It's about 15 to 20% that are rejected. I think some of the rejections are traceable to the D 600, which was an exceptionally "dirty" camera.   So again thank all of you for your kind comments. One last comment. I think I also suffer from a new monitor. It's a 32" 4K LG monitor that is probably much brighter than what you are seeing. So there may be an issue of calibration that produces the differences in what I see and what the community sees.   I am also a moderator of two of the most successful Flickr groups (Apollo and Dionysus and I Need a Tree) for over 6 years. I select nothing but the best artistic photography. An advantage and disadvantage. Because I know what is good art. That may not be good stock photography.   Attached is single example of a accepted image (my wife in the distance)       ... View more

I blame not thee.  I am only commenting on lack of support from Adobe.  Have you actually looked at all the known bugs in this latest release?   I don't see how it really "solves" anything. Still no answers to my original question. ... View more

Thank you, but with all due respect, you did not read my question.   I fear I am not going to solve this as Adobe is known to have so many bugs that are not acknowledged.   This is just not a high priority product for Adobe.   This should be monitored by Adobe techs. I see a test connection but not a realtime connection.   Adobe has yet to fully implemement SCP which is more sedure than SFTP. All my work generated and saved in the past with CS5 and 6.  It is now dead with the newer versions. ... View more

I think this is one more instance where a software company (Adobe) knows there are significant problems and refuses to admit as such. It may be complex. But they know there are problems with Adobe cc. I had repeated problems with the Adobe cc panel. I repeatedly saw messages that the panel needed to be reinstalled. I even talked to technical support. It only lasted for a few days. Eventually I upgraded and then reinstalled Windows 10 from Windows 7. That solved the problem. This is not a general solution that I recommend. Whenever I hear well just reinstall the operating system, it means you have no clue how to solve the problem. Too many of us reinstalling operating system is an arduous task if we have 30 or 40 very complex programs that are installed. Sometimes they are legacy programs were the original disk may be lost. So again, these problems were solved with a complete native installation of Windows 10. Not a recommended solution. And by the way, I virtually always hear, "well it must be your virus program." I'm not sure I can remember any instance where a virus program actually was the culprit. ... View more

Typical Adobe.  No solution.  No acknowledgement.   ... View more

No it is not resolved.  Adobe knows this is an issue and seems to have no interest in correcting this truly annoying issue.   Just look how many are complaining without any resolution.  And Adobe will not talk to you. ... View more

You would think Adobe would have solved this problem with so many complaints.   I thought it was a problem with Windows 10.   Not.  I made one change and it did solve the problem.  Simple.  Change windows explorer view to "details" not "view."   That worked.  Why? I  have no idea.    When you see a lot of work-arounds and patches, it is rarely the answer. Adobe, fix the program. ... View more
