It doesn't look like this forum glitch will be fixed before the new forum platform launches in January.    As a temporary workaround, please embed images or screenshots directly into forum posts/replies with the Picture icon on your Toolbar.  See screenshot below.   Thank you. 😁    

Hello, I am new here, and lot of my photos rejected for quality issues.Any feedback will be most appreciated!  Thank. you.

Hello! I am a new photographer and I wanted to try my luck publishing images in adobe stock. This image was not accepted. What could be the reason? Any opinions would be appreciated. Thank you!

Dear Fellow Contributors,I am reaching out in a state of extreme distress and disbelief. I feel a deep sense of injustice after years of honest, hard work. My contributor account, representing over 2.5 years of dedication and containing more than 3,300 unique, self-created assets (Clips and Vectors), has been suddenly shut down under the category of 'Suspicious Activity.'I have successfully earned and processed payouts over 15 times in the past. My account was blocked simply because of an uncharacteristic sales increase before a requested withdrawal of $374. I firmly believe this was due to buyer-side fraud, yet my entire career is now paused.I filed my official appeal on November 6, 2025. Today, it has been 24 days, and I have received no official response or update on the internal audit. This lack of communication is mentally exhausting.I appeal to the community: For those who have been through a 'Suspicious Activity' block on an old, established account—how long did your reinstateme

Can someone make a critique of this photo. Thank you. 

I CAN SUBMIT A WITHDRAW REQUEST , BEFORE 7 DAYS BUT IT STILL NOT REFLECT INTO MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT.PLEASE GUIDE ME WHAT SHOULD I DO ....!!!

Are phone photos accepted here?

Can't reply to posts. 😝 It keeps throwing errors.     

I've had this banner hanging on my page for over a year now, telling me I can click and select my Creative Cloud app. But it's never worked. Have any of you experienced the same thing? I'm afraid it will clash with a possible new announcement this year.

Adobe stock has been recognizing my metadata in my photos, but all of a sudden it is not.  It shows up when you look at File Info in Photoshop or metadata in Bridge. Any ideas? Richard

Hi there,I’m facing an issue.I’m trying to upload the Adobe Stock mission “Lighting Change with People.”After completing all the required steps, I receive the following message:“Some assets do not have model releases attached. Please attach model releases to all assets and try again.”

  Hello, can I ask for information on what exactly is wrong with these photos that they were not accepted? Thank you.

Hello Adobe contributor community. I am only 2 weeks old and curious on the quality issues for my abstract art. Any advice will greatly be appreciated and thank you in advance for your time and patience. 

Hi everyone,I’d appreciate some advice. I created an image using AI, but it was rejected due to quality requirements.Could you please suggest how I can improve it so it meets the platform’s quality standards? Would using tools like Topaz AI for upscaling or noise reduction help, or are there specific adjustments you would recommend?Thank you in advance for your guidance. 

HelloI uploaded some photos and the ones that have been approved are visible in the dashboard page but when I click on them they are not displayed on the site and an error page is shown.I wanted to see what is the reason why the photos are not displayed?

Could someone please share some insight as to why and what I can do to get my photos submitted. I enjoy taking raw photographs with minimal editing.

Hay una foto de mi catálogo, al menos que yo sepa, la cual ha sido aceptada hace un año y medio y se ha vendido dos veces, que no consigo encontrarla si hago una búsqueda introduciendo algunas de las palabras clave más relevantes de título, ni tan siquiera con la descripción literal de la imagen. He hecho la prueba con otra imagenes y no he tenido problema. El número de archivo es este 925127291

I frequently submit AI-generated abstract background images and often encounter similar content rejections. One thing I’m still trying to understand is how the similar content policy is applied. From a contributor’s perspective, it sometimes feels that additional variations could actually provide buyers with more choice.   I’d also like to ask whether frequent similar content rejections can affect a contributor’s account in any way  for example, leading to longer review times or stricter daily submission limits.   If similar content rejections do have an impact on an account, what would be the best approach to avoid them? As contributors, it can be difficult to predict whether an image may be considered similar, since we don’t know what other contributors have already uploaded. So far, I haven’t found any tools that can help predict the risk of similar content before submitting.   I would really appreciate any insights or best practices on how to better evaluate whe

Hi there,I have recently joined Adobe Stock Contributor community and I got 4 out of 50 photos accepted, which is a decent approval ratio for a beginning. However, I am curious why 2 of these 4 photos got rejected:  Photos were rejected with this reason:"Common issues that can impact the technical quality of images include exposure issues, soft focus, excessive filtering or artifacts/noise. "There was no filtering other than regular cropping and photo editing in Lightroom.

Hallo Zusammen,   ich habe derzeit Probleme beim einreichen von Stockfotos. Ich versehe die mit Beschreibung und Keywords und lade diese per FTP hoch. So wie das schon mit tausenden von Fots in den letzten Jahren gemacht habe.   Seit neusten habe ich das Problem, das wenn ich diese einreichen will, mir zwar angezeigt wird, dass diese erfolgreich eingereicht sind, aber nicht auf  der Seite geprüft auftauchen, sondern wieder bei Neu sind.   Ich habe das schon mit Safari und Firefox getestet.   Ideen?   VG   [Moderator moved the thread to the correct forum]

Hello everyone,My first post! I have been a contributor for a while now. Today I noticed I could not submit more photos (the button is greyed out) and it seems I have either exceeded my limit (what is the limit?) for today or I have too many photos for review. HOWEVER, I checked and I have only 13 under review. THEN I clicked on them and they all have been there for somewhere between 5 and 12 months! From my understanding, it should not take more than 8 weeks to review, so what do I do here?I sent a support ticket, but that was a week ago and no reply so far. Any suggestions?Thank you

BonjourJ'espère être au bon endroit. Je vous explique la situation. Le hasard a voulu que je tombe sur une proposition d'acheter d'un poster d'une de mes photos de mon portfolio. Cette photo n'a bien sûr jamais été achetée. L'image vient très clairement du site Adobe.Ma question : Le site "Abposters.com est-il partenaire avec Adobe, ce qui expliquerait que 2 de mes photographies y figurent (et avec un partenariat, tant qu'ils ne font pas de vente, je ne suis pas payé) ou y a-t-il vole d'images sur le site ?Je suis assez perdue et surprise de ma découverte.Je m'excuse si ma question n'a pas sa place ici.

Good morning lately many photos are discarded due to quality problems.Since it had never happened in the past can you tell me exactly what are che problems un detect on the images?In the last year I changed camera...

Hello everyone,I’m still a bit confused about choosing the correct asset type when submitting generative AI images to Adobe Stock.In my opinion, many AI-generated images (such as living room interiors, furniture, or real-world objects) look realistic at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there are often subtle AI artifacts - for example in lighting, textures, or overall visual quality - that may not fully match high-quality camera photography.Because of this, I’ve been consistently submitting these AI images as Illustrations, even when the subject itself is real and appears photorealistic. My reasoning is that choosing “Illustration” feels safer, since I’m unsure whether the image truly qualifies as “looks like it was captured with a camera.” My questions are: Is this approach incorrect or against Adobe Stock policy? Or should AI images that look realistic still be submitted as Photos, even if there is a slight AI look upon closer inspection? I’d really appre
