How does image approval work

[lewisc14627514]

How does image approval work example; if I load 4 images Monday and 2 images Wednesday, when they get reviewed do they see all my images loaded or just the ones loaded in each batch?

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

Hi Nancy,

Thank you for replying,

When Reviewers receive my images, do they see all my images loaded for review?

Or just the ones loaded in each batch of 6 images on different days?

I have a few other questions if I could ask you or where do I ask?

Cheers

Lewis

As fellow users, we don't know what Reviewers see.  That's not our wheelhouse.

Adobe decides how the work load is distributed. It could be by date, by type of asset or by randon selection. We just don't know.

What actual concerns do you have that we can help you with?

Hi Nancy, thanks for reply,

I think Jill C has answered my question, with the images being reviewed in batches

I have found an Adobe page which answers some of my other questions

Cheers

You should share your sources. That would be nice, to give the community some of your knowledge back.

I, personally, never asked that question. It's simply irrelevant for me:

My portfolio is public, Adobe has probably also insight into my non public data, but I doubt that image moderators have much access to that. They simply moderate assets at a pace of 6 a minute or so. They simply do not have the time to look at much more than the details of the image they are currently checking.

Reviewers do not review every submitted image in your account at the same time. I usually submit a few, say 5-6, each day, and those are usually reviewed as a batch.

I think it's random. I've had one or two images accepted almost within minutes of submitting five or six, while the others get reviewed days later.

In theory, it's first come - first served.

Adobe Stock receives thousands of submissions per week.  Review times vary by type of assets, season, how many other assets are ahead of yours in the wait queue, and how many Reviewers are on hand to examine them.

None of this should matter to you as a Contributor. You have no control over the review process once your assets are submitted. 

Focus on what you can control:

• Commercial-ready assets.
• High visual & technical quality.
• Content that's in customer demand & appeals to a wide range of customers.
• Good search titles, keywords & descriptions so customers can find it.

Hope that helps.

Personally, it's not worth obsessing over. Not that you're obsessing over it, but it's simply not important what determines when images are reviewed. What's important is your rejection rate compared to your acceptance rate. Or, better yet, your sales rate compared to your acceptance rate. If you have 3500 images online, but your sales rate is .02 percent of those images, THAT is what you need to keep track of.
