I have posted photos for review and they aren't generated by AI tools. I have been waiting for 23 days. Is this an acceptable waiting time for approval or is there a problem? Before it was take a few days.

Hello,

This question is a FAQ question!

Your question "How long do I have to wait for the review time?"

My answer:

'How long is a piece of string?'

These days, it is as long as it takes!

If you aren't already doing so, I would recommend that you upload at least two to three images daily, rather than post a few and then wait for them to be reviewed (which, again, maybe you are doing). It's just a theory, but I believe from my own experience that this helps maintain ones place in the queue, since every day that you wait to submit again puts you that much further back in the line and the waiting process starts all over.

Your theory is wrong. Each picture gets its own place in the waiting queue and assets are moderated in the order as submitted.

As I said, this is based on my own experience. I upload daily from 3 to 12 images. I've had over 100 AI images accepted over the past 10 working days. This has never happened before. Normaly, I have a handful of images reviewed and accepted every 2 to 3 working days. Sometimes 4 if you take weekends and holidays into account. Yes, my streak could end at any time. I don't pretend to know how it really works. My main point is, people shouldn't wait until images are reviewed, as I get the impression (possibly incorrectly) that some people upload an image or two and then wait to see what happens until they upload again.

The date shown in the screen print that you included is the date that you initially uploaded the asset to your account, not the date it was actually submitted. Did you submit it on the same day that you uploaded it, or sometime later? 23 days is an unusually long time to wait for a photograph to be reviewed.

@0meer,

23 days is a little unusual for still photography.

Are you certain you submitted correctly?

Do your photos appear in your Contributor portal's Review queue?

As has been answered several times over the last weeks, yes, unfortunately.

Due to the overload of AI images, the review of all contributions is delayed.

Not only AI.

Is it normal that it takes more than 2 month for me? I uploaded them almost 3 month ago....

The date shown on the screen for an image under review is the date that you initially uploaded the asset to your account, not the date it was actually submitted. Did you submit it on the same day that you uploaded it, or sometime later? Reviews are regularly taking 2 months or more, but Adobe representative Mat Hayward advised yesterday that they're not experiencing 3 month waits.
