Stock Contributors

Hi everyone, I recently submitted a batch of images to Adobe Stock, but unfortunately, they were rejected for "Quality or technical issues". I have reviewed the files carefully at 100% zoom, but I am having a hard time identifying the exact issues (like artifacts, focus, or lighting problems) that caused the rejection. I always want toensure my work meets Adobe's high standards, so I would really appreciate your expert eyes on this. I have attached a few examples of the rejected files. Could you please take a look and point out what needs to be fixed or what I might be missing? Any constructive feedback or advice on how to avoid this in future submissions would be highly appreciated. Thank you so much for your time and help!     

Hello Adobe Stock Community,I have recently noticed that many contributor accounts are being blocked with the message “Account blocked: Suspicious activity.”Could someone please clarify what “suspicious activity” means in the context of Adobe Stock contributor accounts? What types of actions or situations typically trigger this warning or lead to account deactivation?Thank you. 

I hope you are doing well.I recently received a notice that my Adobe Stock contributor account has been deactivated due to suspicious activity. I would like to respectfully request a review of my account.Over the past few months, I was inactive due to personal commitments and was unable to upload new content. Recently, I submitted a payment withdrawal request.I want to assure you that I have always followed Adobe Stock’s submission guidelines and have not engaged in any activity that violates your policies.

What if my designs are not accepted by Adobe Stock due to  copyright issue while I had made the illustration designs through a  paid plan of a well known graphic designing platform? At the time of making the designs, no watermarks were there, but later they ( watermarks)  appeared after the subimssion on Adobe Stock on the original designing platform. How to deal with it?

I just had this image rejected for ‘Similar content in our collection’, but I can’t find any images like this, at least not from this place (Pukara de Quitor at San Pedro de Atacama, a well-known tourist destination). I’m struggling to understand the rejection reason, so I am at a loss as to what to do to avoid this going forward. Could it have been the chosen title/keywords? I thought I was being specific enough... Many thanks! 

what are the quality issues... 

Bonjour à tous,J’ai découvert sur stock.adobe des image “ressources gratuites” librement téléchargeable, (exemple fichier n° 484820129)L’utilisation de ces images est-elle bien gratuite (en créditant l’auteur),Merci pour une réponse, 🙂

Stock rejected this photo for quality issues. I used Adobe RBG color on camera settings, I used Lightroom to edit with culling score showing as 97, I used Photoshop for minimal lighting touchups. The sample is reduced in resolution by a factor of ten with the original export being 300 dpi at 10,000x7,000 resolution with a file size of 29MB. I’ve had photos much worse looking than this pass inspection on Stock, so what exact quality issues caused this photo to fail? Is it really such low quality? 

Hi everyone,My Adobe Stock contributor account has been suspended and I haven’t received any response from Adobe support for the last 6 months.One of my video animations (100 percent human-made in Adobe After Effects) was rejected and incorrectly flagged as AI-generated content by the Adobe review team. After that, I got email from Adobe that my account was suspended due to mislabelling of AI-generated content.I have never uploaded AI-generated work on my account. Everything I create is original.I’ve contacted support multiple times, but got no reply or clear explanation.Has anyone faced something like this? Any advice would really help.

Salve, qualcuno mi può gentilmente indicare le caratteristiche tecniche che devono avere le foto per essere accettate? risoluzione? dimensioni? solo colore o anche BN?  Grazie

I downloaded the vector version of image #1961622616 - Isometric Military Base Illustration with Vehicles and Training Grounds.The AI file just contains a low res jpg. Any chance of a credit, plus probably worth deleting the file from Adobe Stock.Also worth using Adobe AI to detect this kind of thing - this isn’t the first time I’ve come across this problem.  I’m sure it shouldn’t be that difficult! Thanks rog

Hello Adobe Community,I am reaching out to seek guidance or a status update regarding my contributor account, which has been under investigation for "Suspicious Activity" for approximately 85 days now.Account Overview: Portfolio Size: 3,000+ assets Account Age: 2+ years (Established account) Current Status: Under Review / Appeal Submitted I fully respect Adobe’s commitment to platform security and have already submitted my appeal providing all the necessary details. I understand that manual audits take time, but the review has now exceeded 12 weeks. I have attempted to follow up via email but haven't received a final decision yet.Could a Community Manager please help me understand if this timeline is normal or if there is any further information required from my side to resolve this? I am eager to resume contributing to the platform.Thank you for your time

Hello, there. I have made several PSDs to be used as PSD logo mockups, but when I went to upload them, I couldn't find a template option:  while I can see that some PSD templates are already being sold on the market. Any idea on how can I upload my PSDs to Adobe Stock?

Hello! I joined Adobe Stock a month ago, but I’m facing a 75% rejection rate for my 3D automobile renders due to 'Quality Issue.'My question is: what can I do about this? My images are exported from 3D software at a high quality of 4K-8K, using 100 samples and a denoiser. They are in PNG format, properly cropped, with adequate titles and keywords. Despite all this, most of them are being rejected. I would like to know what I can do to increase my success rate. Recently, I even tried using an AI upscaler and an online AI artifacts denoiser, but the problem seems to remain the same.I will attach a link to an image in its original format. Thanks! 

I recently submitted three very similar photos for review. I understand the “similar content” rejection, but what confuses me is that all three were rejected. Why weren’t two rejected and one accepted as the best shot? Also, do you usually try resubmitting just one of them after a few days? Thanks in advance for your advice!

It’s really kinda dishearting when you create photo, edit one by one carefully and got them all rejected massively….I edited photos on Photoshop, made multiple revisions and confirmed there are no crushed blacks or blown-out highlights. I also double-checked the colors and curves, and everything seems fine. What other factors could be causing it to fall short of the quality standards?I upload one of the examples, of course all other 99% photos are rejected…Would appreciate if anyone can give me specific advise.Is it base on the reviewer and not any technical point of view ? (for example tone curve, color grading etc )  

Hello,My Adobe Stock contributor account [email removed by moderator] has been suspended. I have a Case ID: ADB-45003940-H9L8.Recently, I noticed an unusual spike in downloads. I assumed they were genuine bulk sales and I requested a payout. Shortly after, my account was deactivated for suspicious activity. I want to clarify that I am a genuine contributor and I have no idea how those unusual downloads happened. All my work is 100% original.I am unable to use the official contact form as it shows an error, and support emails are bouncing back. I am ready to provide original RAW files and my identity documents for verification. Please escalate my case to the Compliance Team for a manual review.Thank you.

Hi Had a video rejection on intellectual property.  The video had a close up of a pair of cheap sneakers that have no logo or trademark.When I queried it the Adobe response was: They look like Converse sneakers.They are not Converse sneakers though, I’m very confused that things are getting rejected because they could be be a well known brand.  Other videos with the same sneakers accepted.  Any suggestions? Many thanksAngela  

When I create content, I always try my best to ensure it does not resemble any other existing content. Still, when Adobe Stock’s system detects it as “similar content,” it truly feels disappointing and disheartening for me. I always follow Adobe Stock’s guidelines and will continue to do so in the future.If it had been clearly mentioned why my content specifically fell under the category of “similar content,” it would have been much more helpful for me to improve going forward. I admit that making mistakes is natural. However, I want to learn from this mistake and continue moving forward with greater responsibility. Thank you.

I upload the model release correctly, with all the names, signatures, photos, etc., but Adobe keeps rejecting it. What's happening?

Good morning everyone: Adobe recently rejected my photos. I've checked and rechecked the files, focus, artifacts, etc., and found no errors (they depict wisteria plants). Now, how can I fix this? I attach a file here so I can better understand. Thanks in advance.
