My image, file ID: 358634063, Freedom Square[BW] has been rejected due to IP. Is there a way to resubmit as Editorial? Any other way to make this image accepted by AS? Please guide me how to do that.Thanks.

Hi, I have a similar problem. I am a newly registered contributor in AS and my portfolio that I want to upload consists mostly of pictures of cars. These are rejected on the grounds of intellectual property. I do not yet have 1000 images that suit me, only then I get the opportunity to upload images in the category "Illustrative editorial content". Is there any way to solve this, please? Thank you for the advice, Jan Kliment


Anything that is a logo will make your upload fail. No property release will help here.To be able to upload pictures as illustrative editorial content you need to reach a certain rank in SALES, not uploaded pictures. Choose your pictures carefully and upload only those where you can edit out the logo. But be aware, some design elements make a car recognizable as a car of a certain make. Those will also be refused on the basis of IP.

 

And btw: we dont see your picture as it has been refused. You need to embedd it or attach it. If you do so, we may find out if there is a work around.

Illustrative Editorial is not a “no release needed” magic. Instead it allow you to upload retain kinds of image where the editorial content justifies the IP use.  Also the buyer may only use it for editorial purposes, limiting sales. https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/stock/contributor/help/illustrative-editorial-content.html

    Sure, thanks, I'd like to contribute like that, but I probably won't be a "silver" contributor right away. Because mostly I have the cars. In a circle...

    You posted your question in the Creative Cloud Download & Install forum.  I moved it to the more appropriate Adobe Stock forum where it belongs.

     

    Please refer to the help article below.
