I am now totally frustrated!!! I work hours on my own images with AI, and they keep getting rejected for similarities. I put each image into TinEye, and they always return 0. Not only that, but I don’t spam the system. Furthermore, I might put up six photos a week. 

All were rejected, not for problems but because they had too many. They should let clients decide which picture they want if there is nothing wrong with it. And what photographer they would like to work with,  I spent credits on these. Time on these, I am getting so frustrated. Kitchens and bedrooms sell really well. I don't want to create wild, crazy stuff that is just going to sit in my portfolio. How do I handle this frustration? What is the marketing strategy behind this? Can someone help me with my frustration? And all the money I spent generating these images. The small images are just to show you what they turn down, not to critique. I'm really not looking for a critique on these images. They just turned them down because there were too many. And like I said, as of TinEye, it showed zero images that looked like this.

    I don’t mean to bum you out further… The problem is not so much with your images, (which have plenty of errors) The reality is that AI imaging is advancing super fast. Any small size company with a subscription is able to hire people who’s part of their job description is creating AI imaging with Firefly and other apps.

    Adobe is clearly navigating new waters, and are very focused in increasing enterprise clients and small shops, while Adobe Stock has become inundated with AI work, in a very short amount of time… That’s a double edge sword for them, and I belief is the number one reason we keep reading of so much AI work getting rejected today.     

    I also think it’s Great news for people who create real photos and videos!

    Regardless, my advice is that you don’t feel like you’re wasting your time. You are learning 

    a new skill that you will be able to offer directly to those who need it.

    Best to you!

    I think we all have similar frustration. Take some time, and re-submit them later on. And then some might be accepted.

    First, as pointed out, the errors need to be corrected.
