Hi! I poked around looking for clarification but I seem to not be giving the right key words for the isse. I submitted 12 images and received the following determination:
I understand why the 2 weren't accepted. The determination was clear 🙂 Panorama on an iphone was a long shot anyhow. It's the other two categories I'm not clear on: Accepted and Pending Reminders. Does that mean the other files are still under review? Or are they in a holding pattern? Many thanks!
Accepted means that the asset was reviewed and approved, and you would then see it on your Portfolio, as it is available for licensing by Buyers. Pending Reminders can be viewed on the Reminders section in your Uploaded Files tab; these need property or model releases. "Weren't accepted" can be seen on the "Not accepted" tab, and if you click on the image, you'll see the rejection reason on the right side of the screen.
Other images are still in the queue awaiting review, as seen on your "In revi

You'll receive a Pending Reminders message if or when you've neglected to provide required information, such as a model or property release. This normally means the assets would probably have otherwise been accepted or will be once the missing information is provided.

Other images are still in the queue awaiting review, as seen on your "In review" tab. Generally, images submitted simultaneously are reviewed as a batch.

Thank you! My confusion stems from none of the other 10 images are in the "In review" tab. Still true today 4 days later. But the feedback came through for the two panorama shots.
I'd assume all would be reviewed at the same time like you said. This is what the FAQ and a number of posts throughout the forum state 🙂 Just didn't occur here.
All images were appropriate and innocuous. The submissions included these shots for instance:

If you haven't received an email like the one in the first post showing that 2 images were rejected, they should still be on the "In Review" tab. Generally, all assets submitted simultaneously are reviewed together, but Adobe seems to be experimenting with different ways to divide up the review queue, and it's not quite as predictable as it used to be.
The first image you posted above will be rejected for IP issues, due to the Kodak logo. The second image will probably be rejected for quality issues, specifically underexposure.

Thank you. Oddly the other images I submitted reappeared in the "In review". I'll chalk it up to server issue and consider that matter closed. Appreciate the guidence and critque
I'm interested how the IP issue shakes out as there are other currently available for use images using it through Adobe Stock. I posted one below to Moe Hong's comment but here's a broader view. These are all available near the top of results:

I searched for Kodak in the Buyer portal and find that the majority are marked "Editorial". I assume that Property Releases were attached to the others.

I doubt that you get a property release from Kodak. No serious company would do that. They would lose control over their image.

Note that the DX film logo is Kodak's intellectual copyright and will most likely be rejected on that ground.

Thanks. So- how does this approved Adobe Stock image differ than mine? It's all Kodak canisters.

Editorial use only! That makes it acceptable. https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/illustrative-editorial-content.html

Look at the text just below the image which says "editorial use only". This means that the Buyer cannot use the asset for a commercial project. The Contributor can submit such assets as "Illustrative Editorial Content" without having to obtain a Property Release.

You're first: Kodak is a trademark, the serial number is an identifier. As @moe hong points out, DXN is a logo and may even be registred.
From the quality point of view, both images have at least exposure problems.

This is a summary of what happened to your currently moderated assets: 0 got accepted, 0 got moved to the reminder tab and 2 got refused. So from the 2 submitted and moderated assets, 2 got refused. The refusal reason gives yo a summary information about what is wrong.
Nobody talkes about your 10 other assets, so they stay well in the moderation queue waiting their turn.

If you want to know more about the refusals, post the two refused assets here, with the refusal reason (only the header, not the full text, the text is stock text and for all refusals of this type the same!). We will have a look into that.
