A silly way to upload? Bulk uploading

Hiya

Kind of new, I uploaded a bit a couple of years ago and got a few sales so decided since I'm taking more photos now that this is a good place to have them.

Is there any downside to uploading a lot of photos and if they are accepted fine, if not move on?

I figure I'm sorting and editing them anyway. 

Is this ok or will I get penalised somehow from multiple photos being declined?

I mostly take underwater photos so some are heavily edited (topaz and backscatter exterminator are used a lot!) - does this count as AI?

Thanks

Before you submit for review, compare your work with Stock inventory to ensure that 1) Stock needs it and 2) it's better than what Stock is selling now. This will help reduce refusals for 'Similar Content' and 'Quality/Technical issues.'

 

Stock's acceptance standards are tougher now than they were a few years ago. Some things have changed.  Read your Contributor User Guide carefully. 

Good luck.

You don't have to declare images as AI unless you've added elements to your images using AI tools. Submit only your best images. Submitting a bunch of similars will earn many rejections and could get you accused of spamming.

I use Topaz photography AI all the time. No, it is not considered AI. AI is hen you add AI generated objects to your photo. Your goal is to have each photo accepted. Do not submit photos that are not of top quality. That is a waste of your time and the moderators time. You should also space out your submissions. Consistant submissions help in your photos being seen.
