I realize this I'm not speaking to Adobe folks but my hope is those more experienced than I can give me some feedback. As poorly as they are, I want to give you some stats

 

I have 41 images in my portfolio.

 

I have 36 images that were not accepted

 

I have 210 images waiting for review. I think this is where the anxiety is kickinig in. Some of the       images have been waiting well over a month. Not sure if my account has an issue or not.

 

I have images uploaded, but I can't submit. The submit buton is grayed out - Gulp! another anxiety perk. This really scares me. Why can't I submit...did I do something wrong?

 

I have around 300 images on my desktop. I figure why upload if  I can't submit or is that the wrong way to think

 

I would think if you did someting wrong, Adbobe would send  an email -- right? I check my emails daily and Adobe is not there. Too bad there isn't an indication of where you are in the que for review. It would be nice to know if  I'm number 20 or number 200 in the Reivew QUE.


I've had only a few sales. My guess is that the more images you have in your portfolio the better your sales. Makes sense, right!

 

Ok..I realize I may not get answers but it's nice to get insight from those who are well established here in the Adobe world.

 

Thanks

Before you submit more work, compare it with available Stock inventory.  It should stand out and be as good or BETTER than what Stock has.  If it's not highest quality, don't submit it.  That should help reduce your rejection rate. 🙂

I should of mention that I look and compare all the time. It may sound a bit arrogant on my part but I think my images quality is as good if not better. Quality is still important but maybe I need to focus more on what I submit v.s.the quality. Thanks for your patients and curtious response.

If you want honest feedback, post one or two of your rejected full-sized images and the reasons for rejection.

No, all is OK. Waiting for review means submitted?

You did hit your personal submission limit. No need to panic. That is all normal.

No, they would block your account and ask you to contact them. Problems arise only when violating some rules, often. The biggest and most common issue is when you spam the system. Countless files with the same subject. Or when you massively violate IP rules. Plenty of files with numerous IP issues, not a small forgotten logo here and then, but obviously violating the rules. Or by submitting files that are not yours, like pictures taken out of the public domain, or other sites.

Relax. Assets get moderated sometime, and it takes around 2 months after submission. The date that gets shown is, however, the upload date. A bug from Adobe …

 

And yes: more images more sales, more sales means much more sales… And more assets mean that there is a better chance to make a sale. And more accepted assets will get you a better submission queue… So use the time to check your assets against errors, and simply delete those that have no chance for getting accepted. You can check this forum for advice where to look for, by checking what others get as an answer...

Thanks for your curtious and nice reply. It can be a bit intimidating trying to grasp how things work but your reply and patients made me feel better. I'm a retired Vet. Been through my share of battles and at times I forget I asked the same question before. So again, I appreciate your patience. Your reply was outstanding.

Keep an eye on your refusal rate. The fewer refusals you get compared to the accepted assets, the better it is. Refusal rates of 50% will hurt your standing in the long.

You asked the same question about the grayed out submit button last month. It simply means that you've reached the limit on your account for how many images can be under review. You won't be able to submit any more until some have either been reviewed or deleted. Review of AI assets is taking 2 months or longer. You have a low acceptance rate so far - 53% - so perhaps you should take another careful look at the assets awaiting review to be sure that they represent your best work.
