How long actual does the review take?

How long actual does the review take? I have submitted many illustrations for over 14 days. It always said "Thank you for your submission, your files will be reviewed by the moderation team within the next few days." But haven;t receive any response. May I please ask if anyone knows what's wrong?

    Are your illustrations Generative AI assets? If so, the moderation queue seems to have grown to about a month now due to the huge influx of images, many of them from Contributors submitting hundreds at a time. Fortunately, Adobe seems to have routed those to a separate queue, keeping the regular queue for photographic images moving along as a reasonable pace. Scan the many other posts here in the Forum on that topic.

      Jill_C,

      That is really interesting news you are passing along to the rest of us.  As a photographer, my submissions are moving at a comparable pace to before; but I saw my licence downloads decreaseing a litle beginning about mid-January.  I know that is anecdotal (and only reflects a few weeks) and therefor not a reliable general measure of the trues statistics; but it makes me wonder if decreased licencing of photos is a real trend (or is it just me?) and if it is a trend is it caused by the flood of AI images?  One worries that AI images will eventually become dominant  in stock photography.

      My sales are up >60% YTD as compared to the same period last year. And of course my experience is also "anecdotal". I haven't heard that sales are decreasing across the board. As to how photographic assets are impacted by AI, I'm not too concerned, at least in the short term. There are quite a few complaints on the Stock forum from Buyers who hate having to sift through all the AI stuff, a lot of it not even labeled as AI, when they're looking for high quality photography. I don't think the type of assets I sell will be impacted by any of the goofy looking stuff I've seen from the Generative AI engines, at least not until they've improved drastically. Someone still has to create the photographic assets that the Generative AI models rely on for their machine-learning!
