Please give us the option to stop AI Studio from automatically opening in Adobe Stock. This is interfering with workflow since we now have to open each image in a new tab. Why do you feel you need to shove this AI crap down our throats?!

I think I covered it. All I’m asking for is the option to click on an image in the Adobe Stock subscription service to avoid AI Studio — which I, personally, do not want. If someone wants to opt in to that, OK, but please GIVE US AN OPTION!

    I am often looking for very specific images of locations, I need a quick way to look at the metadata, tags, and description of an item before I download it. I can’t be showing the wrong location in my videos. I’ve lost the ability to quickly see this information.

    Yeah, I agree. This makes the entire experience of using Stock horrible and slow. Please, for the love of god, let the AI features optional so that I can just TURN THEM OFF.

    It is very important for my work that I can quickly see the typical info for Adobe Stock images - pixel-specific dimensions, file type, more from this series, and so on. It was already annoying that I have to wait for the drop down menu to open every time, which was bothersome for things like convenient scrolling. But this is substantially worse.

    I can handle having “AI crap” as a default option as long as there’s a convenient, clearly labeled, easy way to disable it indefinitely. But it NEEDS TO BE INDEFINITELY DISABLED. My work prospects would be seriously, legitimately jepordized if I use generative AI tools in my work, including by accident. I know this because I’ve already been burned in professional association forums because I did accidentally use AI in my work once.

    I’d rather keep my job than keep Adobe Stock. However, it would be really quite easy to have both. Please just make it user-friendly again for people who actively dislike and avoid anything with the “AI” label on it, even when it’s not generative.

    @Andrew Welker 

    Did you try right-clicking on the image to open it in a new tab?

    Also try clearing Adobe Cookies from your browser.

    Hope that helps.

    100% with you on this! It’s infuriating. I just want to see any image bigger, not be taken into a whole AI world with a load of features I will NEVER, as a professional graphic designer of 20 years, use.

    I completely agree. Please give us the option to use the previous Adobe Stock search experience.

    In my case, AI Studio now opens automatically as soon as I perform a search. More importantly, even when I use the exact same keywords and filters as before, AI Studio shows significantly fewer search results than the previous Adobe Stock search.

    This is seriously affecting my workflow because I use Adobe Stock to search for assets for my design work every day. I don't need AI editing features when I'm simply searching for stock assets.

    Please allow users to choose between AI Studio and the traditional Adobe Stock search. AI Studio should be optional, not mandatory.

    Yes, this is HIGHLY annoying, and I have clients who are expressly asking for NO AI usage. I second the motion on why you feel you need to shove this down our throats; if anything, it makes me hate AI even more.

    ps. I like the “hoot”. Nice choice. That was the part getting to me and drew me back to delete. Again, thank you.

    Please turn OFF the Adobe AI Studio as an AUTOMATIC non-optional affront. I clicked an image. I just want to view the image and decide. I don’t give a hoot [moderator edited] about AI. I’m an artist. I don’t need your crutches. I just need a photo that I can work with. Everytime I click an image, I have to click three times to turn everything else off before I can REALLY SEE if I am even interested in maybe perhaps purchasing the image. Seriously, this is such a waste of time. I am trying to be creative and I have to take five steps for every ONE time that I MIGHT be somewhat interested in the image?????? I’m not being creative at this point, I am just getting pissed. Please. Stop the insanity.

    @WXYZmmm 

    You’re not addressing Adobe support.

    This is a family-friendly community of fellow product users & unpaid forum volunteers.

    Please keep a civil tone here.

     

    To side-step the AI Studio panel, simply right-click and open image in a new tab. Problem solved.

    SOLUTION:

    1. Right-click on image to open in new tab. 
    2. Clear browser’s cached data & cookies. Ask Google for browser details if needed.

    Hope that helps.

    I appreciate this, it has made the situation bearable, but it’s not really a “solution” in my mind, more of a work around. I have dedicated tabs for 5 different stock sites, so this just makes my “stock window” in Chrome really messy and ads some extra clicks.

    This update honestly feels like the final straw with Adobe. Why can't they accept that we don't want this?? Any real professional abhors these features. I can’t even use AI images with my clients because everything I create for my clients needs to have a copyright, and you can't copyright AI images.
