Wrong Category Assigned After Uploading AI-generated PNG Illustration

Hello,

I have uploaded several AI-generated PNG illustration files created using Adobe Illustrator. While uploading, I selected the “Illustration” category and also enabled the “Generative AI” tag. However, after approval, these files are being placed under the “Photo” category instead of “Illustration.”

All files are vector-based and exported as PNGs with transparent backgrounds. I believe this misclassification may impact their visibility and relevance to potential buyers.

Please look into this issue and let me know how I can ensure that my AI-generated illustrations are correctly categorized as “Illustration.”

Thank you for your support!

Best regards,
Emon

No, that's okay. It happened to me a few times: AI images uploaded as "illustrations" were then categorized as "photos" after approval by Adobe. And they sell. So, rest assured everything is okay.

If the AI assets are photo-realistic, it's allowed for them to have Photos file type.

I have uploaded several AI-generated images and selected the "Illustration" category for all of them during submission. However, after approval, I noticed that some of the images were automatically moved to the "Photo" category.
