Questions

I appreciate your guidance on how to navigate the submission process for stock photography. I recently had a photo rejected by Adobe Stock due to "Intellectual Property Refusal," and it was taken at Blists Hill Victorian Town in Ironbridge. I've noticed that other photos from Blists Hill Victorian Town are available on Adobe Stock, which suggests that there's a way for contributors to successfully submit content from this location. As someone who enjoys photography as a hobby and is looking to potentially offset some of the costs through stock sales, I'm eager to learn what steps are necessary. Could you please clarify the specific requirements for obtaining property releases for commercial submissions, especially when photographing at museums or similar public (but privately owned) attractions? I'm wondering if there's a standard template for a property release form that I could use, and if museums, even volunteer-run ones, are generally accustomed to receiving such requests

Hello, everyone,I've received a strange rejection due to the quality of my image, but I'm unsure what's wrong with my digital art picture. Can you kindly tell me what the problem is? Thank you in advance!?

皆さんこんにちは。私は普段、線画の素材をアドビストックに投稿しています。今回、主線はなく、白色の素材を投稿するために、データの一番下に濃い色の長方形の画像を敷いていました。すると、品質の問題として、該当データはリジェクトになりました。同じイラストで線画のみのデータは採用されています。このように、主線はない、薄い色の素材を投稿したい場合、気を付けるべきことはありますか？どなたか教えていただけたら嬉しいです。よろしくお願いします。

I don’t understand why these kinds of images cannot pass the review.

Hello,Here is a photo from Biarritz, France. I don't undestand why it is rejected.Could you tell me why my picture is bad ?Thanks 😉Nicolas

To me, the 2nd photo is looking far better than the 1st one. But the 1st one was approved and the 2nd one was declined. Both were taken through different smartphones.  

I'm trying, for the first time, to register as an Adobe Stock Contributor. I've never done this before. I do, however, have an Adobe ID, which is used for my subscription to Adobe CC, Lightroom, etc. I visited the Stock Contributor page, and selected "Link Adobe ID". Upon doing so, I'm redirected to a page with a header reading "Inactive Account" and a message stating "Our Account and Submission policy does not allow multiple Contributor accounts. To request an exception, please contact us". I'm not sure where to go from here. I sent an email using the link provided and explaining what happened, but that was a week ago. I'm tempted to Log Out of my existing Adobe ID and just select "Join Now" using a completely separate email address, but also don't want to cause more issues. Any idea why Adobe thinks I have multiple contributor accounts?

Hello, I have already created a topic on my question but for some reason it was closed. https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock-contributors-discussions/account-blocked/m-p/15138357#M97021 I am contacting the Adobe Stock Contributors staff. I don't know how to contact the Adobe Stock Contributors staff to find out what's wrong with my account. Please tell me how long I need to wait? My account was deactivated on January 23, 2025 due to suspicious activity, it's been 61 days since my account was deactivated. Maybe you forgot about me, I don't even know when my account will be activated. Please activate my account. The numbers of the letters I wrote earlier: Adobe Case Update 00344665Content Appeal - Other (please specify) - Case ID: 653803Adobe Case Update 00347402Adobe Case Update 00353167 Adobe Case Update 00353611 Thank you.Best regards, Serhii.

Here are some of my png images that got rejected for quality issues. Help me decode the reason, please? Or should I upload these with their background instead of png?

I’ve been deeply interested in the kind of work Adobe’s Trust & Safety team does—especially around high-level content moderation and visual content evaluation. With a good amount of experience in content moderation, image analysis, and understanding visual quality and artifacts, I find this space both fascinating and meaningful.Being based in India, I’m also quite open to remote roles. What really draws me in is the opportunity to contribute to the integrity and quality of creative platforms like Adobe’s. I'm especially interested in how Trust & Safety intersects with creative freedom, intellectual property, and user experience.If something aligned were to come up, I’d be keen to explore how I might add value.

Good morning fellow Contributors, First of all hello! I am a new Contributor to Adobe Stock and stock photography in general. All of my pictures (not more that 10) have been rejected for various reasons, from "Similar Content" and "Intellectual Property" (an oopsie), but the majority are rejected based on "Quality Issues". I know there are hundreds if not thousands of posts on this topic already, but I would greatly appreciate if you took a look at some of my pictures and help me determine what the quality issues are so I can rectify them. There may be some blur, but I was also trying to understand what counts as Noise and Artifacts? This may help too: I was using a very basic image editing software, and they are JPEG, not RAW format. I've learned that editing from RAW is better I think, but what other issues can you see that I've missed? Thank you,Bryan 

Dear Community, could somebody help me understand, why these photos were rejected? They are taken via Sony A6700 + Tamron 17-70, processed in darktable 5. Thank you very much in advance!
