Subject: Mass Rejections Due to "Similars" — Request for Clarification and Assistance

Message:

Dear Adobe Stock Employees,

This is the first time I have addressed you and I sincerely hope for your understanding and support.

In the last 7 days, almost 100 of my images have been rejected with a "Similar" label. This situation causes me great concern, as I put a lot of effort into carefully uploading my content: I chose only one image for each concept, avoided duplicates, and made changes to the composition, colors, angles, and ideas so that each file was unique.
I deeply respect Adobe Stock standards and strive to meet them by creating high-quality and diverse content. Therefore, I would be very grateful if you could help me understand exactly which aspects of my work are considered too similar. I may be missing something, and I would sincerely appreciate any advice or examples that would help me avoid these problems in the future.
It is very important for me to continue working with your platform, and I am ready to improve and adapt my approach as needed.
Thank you in advance for your time, response, and work done.

There are no Adobe stockm employees here, but what you describe is a well discussed phenomena here. You can write to contributor support, however, if you want to address Adobe: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/Need-Help-Contact-Us.html. Do not expect to get an idividualized answer, however.

 

And if that calms your nerves: seasoned contributors are getting the same refusals.
