What’s going on with this 'similar images' issue? Out of 10 images, only one was accepted, even though the others are clearly not similar. I used completely different prompts to generate each of them, so there's no reason for them to be flagged as Similar.

Is this a bug or something? When will it be fixed? At this rate, no one will bother uploading anything anymore. It's extremely discouraging to see images rejected under the 'similar images' reason when they're clearly different and created using completely separate prompts.

Also, these images can’t even be considered similar to others already on Adobe Stock, because there aren’t more than 2,000–3,000 images in this particular niche. So the 'similar images' rejection doesn’t make any sense in this context either.

Hi @Vision350771902ejx ,

In all fairness with the exception of two, they are all similar. They are just variation of the same concept. This is what Adobe wants to limit.

Best wishes

I think you cannot register it not only because it is a similar image, but also because it probably does not meet several other requirements.

The Mona Lisa cannot be registered because it is either a real person or a fictional character.

This is why there are extremely few search results when you search for Mona Lisa.

Variations that were previously approved have now become much stricter, so even if you register multiple similar assets, they may be rejected.

If you have not read the Help, I recommend that you read it all at once.
