Questions

I’m new to stock photos, and after uploading my first batch of landscape photos I’m struggling to find out why some of them got rejected. I’ve attached one example of a photo rejected due to quality issues. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance :)  

I haven’t uploaded photos for a while, and when I recently started uploading again, I noticed that the approval rate for my cutout PNG images has becomes much lower, even though they used to be approved very easily. Have there been any new rules changes? Also, is it better for PNGs to have a slight shadow now, or no shadow at all?

If my images contain close up shots of hands, do they require a Model Release?

The Artist Name Confusion: Adobe also flagged "use of another artist’s name." However, I have thoroughly checked my artwork, titles, and file properties—there are absolutely no artist names, trademarks, or brand names present.  

Can I submit a content created via Adobe firefly and submit the image/illustration in Adobe Stock . Will it be accepted 

Hello,I read that we're not allowed to use recognizable people in Illustrative/editorial content, but I’m not 100% clear. Does the rule only apply to models? Or would it also apply to a mural?Sorry if this is a dumb question; sometimes I overthink things.Thank you

Hello Adobe Community,My Adobe Stock contributor account was blocked on April 1 because, in my last uploads, I uploaded AI-generated images of famous personalities. At that time, I did not fully understand that this type of content violated Adobe Stock policies. I now clearly understand my mistake and already admitted it in my appeals.However, I am disappointed because I have already submitted two appeals regarding my blocked account, but I still have not received any meaningful update from Contributor Support.Today is May 14, and it has already been around one and a half months since my account was blocked. Despite waiting this long, I still have not received any clear response or final decision. Is this fair for contributors who are genuinely trying to communicate and resolve their mistakes?I fully respect Adobe Stock policies and simply want clarity about my case status. Waiting for such a long time without any response is extremely painful and frustrating. Even if the appeal is rej

Hello everyone,I’m writing to seek guidance and request a review regarding the deactivation of my Adobe Stock contributor account.I recently received a notification stating that my account was blocked due to a violation of the Contributor Terms and submission guidelines. However, to the best of my knowledge, I have not submitted any new content for some time, so I am unclear about what may have triggered this action.I have always made a genuine effort to follow Adobe Stock’s guidelines carefully. My work mainly consists of AI-generated images and videos created using tools such as Freepik Pikaso, ensuring that content adheres to licensing requirements and platform rules.If any of my previously submitted content has unintentionally violated the guidelines, I fully respect Adobe’s policies. I am completely willing to: Remove any content that may be in violation Accept removal of any associated earnings if required Take corrective steps to ensure full compliance moving forward I have

I worked on a Native American reservation for 8 years and for a few July 4th celebrations while I was there  the public was invited to attend. I took some nice photos of the participants while they were dancing. I am under the impression that images of people in a public outing or festival do not need model releases. What are the rules with Adobe Stock? Thank you.

Hi,I would like to purchase two images at a higher resolution and I would like to know if this is possible. I tried to call today but the line quality was terrible. Has anyone been able to source imagery at say 50MB in size?

I submitted some of my custom paintings of some cabins in the woods. They were rejected saying I need a property release form? How can I get a property release form if they are custom paintings?

If my images contain close up shots of hands, do they require a Model Release?

#1883215964 is represented as a vector graphic, but upon download it’s just a low resolution raster graphic saved as an SVG.  Apparently there’s no other way to report this so I’m posting it here. 

I thought this photo would be a good fit for Adobe Stock customers who wanted an image regarding a variety of issues: legal, constitutional, governmental, etc., but it was rejected. I’m just trying to figure out what I did wrong so I won't repeat the same mistake. Thank you.

Quality issues? Or is it subject? They claim quality Issues. 

If a new construction home is photographed with staged, furnished interiors, and a release is obtained form the developer/owner,  is a property release required from the buyer, as the home will be delivered empty and unfurnished?  Thank you-   [Moderator moved the thread to the correct forum]

Could you please advise what the quality issue with this photo might be, and how I could improve it so it gets accepted?

My works got rejected when i spent hours making them what is wrong with them?

I deleted some images from my adobe Stock, will this harm my account? 

“Is it safe for me to upload bulk-generated EPS background files created entirely with Adobe Illustrator scripts to Adobe Contributor without using the AI tag, and are such files considered AI-generated content?”“I have created a large number of EPS background files entirely using scripts inside Adobe Illustrator, without using any generative AI tools or AI models. The designs were procedurally generated through Illustrator scripting only. Are these files considered AI-generated content on , and is it safe for me to upload them in bulk without adding the AI tag if they are accepted by the review system?”

Rejection rate is way too high to justify wasting anytime on stock images. I have been using AI to make images, and I get that is perceived as “easy”, but some images might take me 30 mins + to get them how I want.  I thought I would make some images for drink driving, and specifically thought it would be a cool idea to make a wine glass as a warning light, like you get a check engine light on your dash. I thought someone might like to use this image in an article about drink driving or something.  I made two versions of the same image, one where you see the wine glass symbol and the speedo. Second one, which I consider far better, is the same image, but its in double vision like a drunk person is looking at it. IMO, the second image with the double vision is far superior to the first image.  After I made them I thought to myself, there is no way these get rejected, its definitely an original idea that I just came up with. I see my email today, the focused shot has been accepted, the d
