想了解被拒原因，如何改善 

Hi everyone,I’m a new contributor on Adobe Stock and I’m still learning about the quality standards for submitted photos.I recently submitted this photo, but it was rejected for “Quality Issues.” The rejection message mentioned common issues such as exposure, soft focus, excessive filtering, or noise.I’d really appreciate your opinion on this. Could you help me understand what specific quality issue you see in this particular photo? And is it something that could be improved through editing, or is it a limitation of the original photo?I’d like to learn from this rejection so I can improve my future submissions.Thank you 

I am a long-time contributor creating original photos and videos, shot and produced entirely by myself — no AI-generated content. Recently, my account was suddenly deactivated right after I made my first payout request.This is extremely concerning because:I had been uploading and selling content without issues for months.My portfolio contains only my own authentic work.I received no clear explanation for the ban.After the ban, I contacted Adobe Stock Support immediately, providing all necessary details. It has now been nearly a month with no reply or resolution.This raises serious questions:How can contributors trust Adobe if accounts can be banned right after payout requests?Is this a system error, or is there another reason why payouts are blocked without explanation?Contributors put time, skill, and resources into producing high-quality content. Sudden bans without transparency not only damage trust, but also leave creators unpaid for their work.I’m posting here to request urgent at

Hello! I am trying to be an Adobe Stock contributor. I uploaded some AI-generated illustrations a couple of weeks ago. The images are simple drawings of pet animals on a plain white background but most of them have been placed under the 'Reminder' tab with a red-banded notice saying "PROPERTY RELEASE MISSING". Can anyone, please, help me out with what to do now? I'm attaching a sample image for your better understanding.  

My Adobe Stock contributor account was deactivated on February 10, 2026, due to “suspicious activity.” However, I did not receive any clear or specific explanation of what exactly was wrong. What is this “suspicious activity.” meanI have been a contributor for several years and have always tried to follow all guidelines carefully. I worked honestly, respected Adobe’s rules, and never intentionally engaged in anything that could be considered suspicious or abusive.I contacted support, but unfortunately, I only received generic replies directing me to read the guidelines again. I still don’t understand what caused the issue.I have a few important questions and would really appreciate any insights:Is it possible to restore a deactivated account in cases like this? What steps should I take to improve my chances of recovery? If restoration is not possible, am I allowed to create a new account? Would creating a new account violate the “multiple accounts” rule or another rules and lead to ano

Dear Adobe Contributor Support Team, I am writing this as my second urgent follow-up regarding my Adobe Stock Contributor account suspension. Account Deactivation Date: July 11, 2025 First Appeal Submitted: July 17, 2025 Second Appeal Submitted: July 29, 2025 Previous Follow-up Sent: August 8, 2025 It has now been over one month since my first appeal, but I have not received any response or update. This prolonged silence has left me in a very difficult situation. This account is my only source of income. I am a single parent of 5-year-old twin daughters, with no parental support or external help. The sudden loss of my account has caused serious financial and emotional hardship for my family. I fully understand the mistake I made regarding Adobe Stock’s submission guidelines, particularly related to generative AI content. I sincerely apologize and respectfully request one final opportunity to contribute honestly, adhering strictly to all Adobe Stock policies. I am willing to h

Can I delete files that have no downloads? These are very old files and there are a lot of them. Will this affect the accounts? And will it result in a decrease in sales?

Hi Adobe Stock Contributors,I recently submitted two abstract gradient background images to Adobe Stock, and both were rejected with the reason “Missing Generative AI Flag.”However, these two images were created manually in Adobe Photoshop. I did not generate them using an AI image-generation tool.The images are simple abstract gradient backgrounds with vertical striped/blurred effects. I created the artwork myself in Photoshop using standard editing/design tools.The rejection message says:“During our review, we found that it is likely to be generated by AI not labelled as such.”This is confusing to me because I did not use AI image generation to create these files. My questions are:Can Adobe Stock automatically detect an image as AI-generated even when it was created manually in Photoshop? Could certain Photoshop features, filters, effects, or processing techniques trigger the “Missing Generative AI Flag” review? If I did not use any generative AI features, should I still mark the sub

Hello everyone,I’m looking for some advice from other Adobe Stock Contributors who may have experienced something similar.I have been an Adobe Stock Contributor since 2018 and currently have approximately 8,000 assets in my portfolio, most of them videos.My account was suddenly deactivated today for “suspicious activity.” I received the email from Adobe at 5:07 AM local time here in Brazil. I was asleep at the time and had not logged into or used my account.I had not uploaded anything for approximately one month. During this period, I was only occasionally logging in to check my earnings. Everything had been completely normal with my account and sales.I had approximately US$83 in my account, and I was expecting a payment soon. Now I have completely lost access to my portfolio, sales history, and earnings information.I have absolutely no idea what the “suspicious activity” refers to. I have never purchased my own content, asked anyone to purchase or download my content, or intentionally
