Question

All images in first batch submission to adobe stock were rejected for being AI generated. Reason stated 'Missing Generative AI Flag'. None were AI generated, even slightly.

So I had no reason to check the AI generated box. I spent hours tagging and keywording. REAL IMAGES. Taken with a camera. There was NO AI editing, certainly none generated by AI, many were even taken on film before I went digital!, and the scan submitted. Unless this can be put right easily I will waste no more time here as this is ridiculous. I enjoyed submitting my photos and was looking forward to making a start as a contributor, I love photography and hate AI, so this is a real kick in the teeth.

I also avoid using any generative AI features in post processing, which are apparently allowed anyway (eg. small object removal tools). So none of this makes sense or has made me want to continue with this agency.

Every single image is already accepted by Getty who seem to use real people to assess images, not useless AI.
