I had not uploaded any images to my Adobe account for about 6 months because the images I had uploaded were viewed within 2 months. I uploaded 3000 images 1 week ago. Approximately how many days does it take to review? Also, 6 months ago, an official in this group said that the images are now reviewed within 2 weeks, but this does not seem convincing to me.

It varies by content, season and how many reviewers are available to handle the workload.

1- 3 months is average -- sometimes longer, sometimes shorter.  

 

3,000 images is a huge amount to submit at one time. I think it's safer to upload small batches on a regular basis to see how well they are received. 

 

Acceptance is only one small part of the process. The big challenge is making unique, commercial-quality content that sells. 

 

Good luck.

I've got drone videos and regular images that are two months in the backlog at this point. But sometimes if I upload something it gets approved within a few hours. It's a weird structure but I guess it is what it is. Can't really do anything about it as frustrating it can be.

The old "first-in/first-out" rule no longer seems to apply.

Yep. At first I thought it might be based on demand and what's hot at the moment, but I don't think that's the case. The things I upload that get approved vary. And what's pending currently ranges from stills and aerial videos with landscapes, industry, cities and wildlife. A bit of a mixed bag. 

 

I've had more instances of moderation failing too with rejections that didn't make sense. To which contacting support had them look into it, revisit the submission and then approve it upon realising the moderator had their own technical issues. 

 

Ultimately nothing can be done about it. Just gotta keep uploading and wait.

Hi @abdülkerim34573450bbyd ,

I'm not sure who could suggest that reviews are done within two week. For many months reviews have been taking more than a month. Currently contributors are reporting a wait period of more than 4 months.

Best wishes

Hello. They advised me to send less images, but whether I send 100 images
or 3000 images, they are reviewed in the same amount of time. It is usually
reviewed in 3 months. I asked this question to the community again 6 months
ago and a community expert said that images are reviewed in 2-3 weeks, but
I didn't believe him, to be honest.

"a community expert said that images are reviewed in 2-3 weeks, but I didn't believe him, to be honest."

It was probably true 6 months ago, more or less. It doesn't hold true today for many contributors who have been waiting 5 months or longer.

You should have seen on the submission page the statement that reviews can be expected in about 8 weeks; however, many Contributors are now reporting waits of 2-3 months or even longer, thanks to the many Contributors who upload 3,000 assets at a time!  Get prepared to wait...
