Adobe Stock Rejected My Manually Created Illustrator & Photoshop Artwork as “Missing Generative AI Tag” — Seeking Contributor Feedback

Hi fellow Adobe Stock Contributors,

I recently submitted this abstract background to Adobe Stock, but it was rejected with the reason “Missing Generative AI Tag.”

This artwork was created entirely by me from scratch using Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop, with standard non-generative tools, editing features, and filters. I did not use Generative Fill, Generative Expand, Firefly, or any other generative AI feature. I also did not use any downloaded, third-party, or stock assets.

The abstract waves, shapes, colors, gradients, distortion, and visual effects were manually created and edited by me using standard Illustrator and Photoshop tools.

I would really appreciate your feedback:

Does this artwork look AI-generated to you?
Have you experienced a similar rejection with manually created Illustrator/Photoshop artwork?
Is there anything in this design that might be triggering Adobe’s AI detection system?
Would you recommend making any changes before resubmitting?

Any feedback or suggestions from experienced Adobe Stock Contributors would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
