Stock Contributors

I was at a photographers meetup in Los Angeles last week, there were maybe around a hundred people there, many from the stock photography world. I met one guy who said he works at Adobe, and he told me something really interesting. He said Adobe might be looking into buying CyberStock.lol or doing some kind of partnership. Apparently it uses real buyer search data, like something around 50 million or so, to generate titles and keywords that actually sell. I was curious, so I even reached out to Adobe Contributor Support just to ask if it’s true. They replied with this message: We cannot verify or deny it. Please follow official updates for more information. I am not sure how true that is, but if anyone here works at Adobe, it would be great if you could confirm or deny it. If it’s real, that could be a big deal for a lot of photographers.

My Adobe Contributor account was unexpectedly disabled without any apparent reason. I have thoroughly reviewed their guidelines and am confident that I have not violated any of them. On the day my account was disabled, I had to received my funds (I believe it was the 10th business day), which I was due to receive. Despite having sent an email to address this issue, I have yet to receive a response. I am seeking advice on how to proceed in order to have my account reinstated and to successfully withdraw the funds owed to me.

Hey everyone, I wanted to ask — how are things going for you with uploading projects to Adobe Stock lately?For the past two months, almost everything I submit keeps getting rejected. I work in my own unique style, creating futuristic grunge graphics, and my sets have been selling really well — sometimes up to 300 sales in the first monthafter upload.But recently, Adobe has started rejecting my new sets, even though they’re completely original and not related to my previous works.I’ve already tried changing the format of how I prepare the files — no effect.I thought maybe the issue was with titles or keywords — also no result.I understand that many of my works share a similar aesthetic, but that’s my signature style — both I and my buyers love it. Yet Adobe seems to think I should change it for some reason.Has anyone else experienced this or knows how to fix it?Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Often I'm the problem (PEBCAK), however I am certain I have clicked ever page, link, or option and I can't seem to find ways to do the following:Export a list, CSV, txt files, what have you of previously uploaded files and their original file names.Delete photos that have been submitted with either an error, or because after review I realized that they were already accepted.If I can solve for the former than the latter is likely to not happen again. Other stock sites AT LEAST include the original file name within the cataglog when a list is show or an individual image is clicked.  I upload to the portal via a web interface. 

hello, i got an email from adobe about this mssion on shooting "Pair Editing | Object Position and Replacement", seemed like a fun challange and want to participate, but i dont have something clear.the caes is for example, i have the 1st scene below  i have replaced the orange with the apple. in the 2nd scene or an other x scene can i do the same replacment but with diffrent scene, or use the same object. for exple this is my 2nd scene below  on top of a wall i replaced the banan with the apple, does it count? if i had put an orange and switched with an apple (like in my 1st scene) would it still count? Thanks for your time!   

I’d like to know why these two photos were rejected for “quality issues.” Could anyone please give me some feedback or advice? Thanks!

Need support, i love photography i love wildlife photography, i love natural 

Hi, I uploaded some of my photos, but most of them got rejected, and i don't know the reason for it. Can you please help me improve my pictures to get more approvals? I attach some of them here.

Hello everyone,I have uploaded around 20 images to Adobe Stock, and they have all been accepted. However, I noticed that I haven’t received any downloads yet.I’m wondering , could it be that my images are not appearing in search results, or maybe they are too low in ranking?Is there a way to check how visible my images are or improve their chances of being seen by buyers?Any advice about keywords, titles, or how to make my images more discoverable would be very helpful.Thank you!

Hi, I just want to know why I have a file that's been under review for over 4 months and they haven't told me if it's been accepted or not. I already deleted it and re-uploaded it, but the same thing happened; another 4 months have passed and it's still under review. Thank you in advance.   [Moderator moved the thread to the correct forum]

Dear Adobe Stock Team,My EPS file was recently rejected for Intellectual Property reasons, while the JPG version of the same artwork was accepted. I would like to understand which specific element or object in the EPS file is considered intellectual property, so I can correct and resubmit it.Could you please help identify the issue in the EPS file?Thank you for your guidance.Kind regards,Papia Majumder

Beginner photographer here. My photograph was rejected due to quality issues and I would like some contructive critisim on how to make it better the next time

ich möchte bei adobe stock ein Video herunterladen, bekomme aber vorab kein Ton. Somit weis ich nicht was in dem Video gesprochen wird. Ich nutze einen iMac und der Ton ist auch bei meinem Mac nicht auf Stumm geschaltet.

My multiple images are rejected even with high resolution and good quality. Couldn’t understand why?Attached Two Sample Images:

I'm new to adobe stock contributors, the user guide said that while PayPal is available globally, payoneer is required for several countries : Indonesia, south Africa, south Korea, and turkeyIs it really?, I live in one of those listed country, PayPal works just fine here both local and international transaction, and I know several local microstock groups, and my fellow country men most of them using PayPal, its because payoneer while having lower cut per transaction, its have relatively big annual fee if you have less than 2000 USD transaction in a year, which earnings from microstock is way less than that especially if you're just starting or doing it as side gig So is it really alright using PayPal even tho the user guide say its required to use payoneer?

Just a newbie question, can someone explain why these photo been rejected? Sorry I'm still learning

Do I understand correctly? After the files from the mission are approved, they can be uploaded for sale on Adobe Stock and other stock sites?

On 11 March my Adobe contributor account was de-activated without mentioning any reason, and the worst part about Adobe is not giving enough support, particularly to the contributor account holder, I have already sent an email to the support team but still haven't got the answer or any other support from them. one thing I want know that is it possible to get back that >in simple words pathetic kind of support team they having.

Hi There, can someone help me?I am trying to login Adobe stock contributor account but I got this error.Our Account and Submission  policy does not allow multiple Contributor accounts.To request an exception, please contact us .Thanks in advance 

Hello everybody, Just to know, i submitted some pictures from Ukraine which was 100 % rejected, it is not the first time, since 2022 i noticed this, like ukrainian material is ban from time to time... while other platforms (shutterstock competitors) accepted the same pictures like 100% of the content. So is there any russian contributors who have some difficulties handling objectivity or does the 100% rejection ukrainian stuff belongs from adobe policy? To be honest i adore adobe stock but the way the Ukrainian content got rejected on this plateform is just amazing and a bit frightned))) peace and long life to everybody.All the best and let's respect international human rights 

Hi experts,The attached images are AI-generated artworks created entirely by me. I did not use any real person’s image or any artwork created by someone else as a reference, and I also didn’t use anyone else’s prompt during the creation process. Additionally, I did not copy or even look at any titles or keywords from other creators’ images on Adobe Stock when adding metadata to my submissions — everything was written by me independently.I’ve uploaded several other images in a similar style to Adobe Stock, and they are currently under review. Each image has a unique title, and none of them are duplicates.However, one of the attached, which includes three vector-style images as part of a collection, was rejected as “Similar content in our collection,” while the other, which contains a single image, was rejected for “Quality issues.”Could you please help me understand why these rejections occurred so I can improve my future submissions accordingly?Thank you for your time and guidance!

 I just had an awful discovery — for years, I've been uploading my files wrong. I make isolated black content on white/no background, so I was uploading them in batches of three: svg, eps (with white bg) and png. To cover all the fronts. Recently I started seeing all pngs being rejected for being similar content, that similar content being my own images I just uploaded as svg, probably. So I started reading this forum and the guidelines and realized I was probably doing it all wrong, and now I have vectors with white background and pngs without bg sold separately. And for new batches I don't even have PNGs and can't 'offer' transparent background ones, since EPS has a white bg... Yes it's all completely my fault and I messed up, but that got me thinking: should I delete all the 'wrong' files and reupload them as proper background-less vectors from scratch? Will it work? And will it hurt my account in general, deleting dozens or maybe hundreds of images? And just so
