how long to approve new submissions

Hey,

 

How long does it take for submitions to be approved? I have 20 photos that i uploaded around 2 months ago and they are still in review for some reason, meanwhile it says it will be approved in a couple of days since the beginning. Any help would be appriciated. 

 

Best Regards.

On average, Photos & Vector Graphics are reviewed in 5 - 15 business days.
Generative AI could take 1 - 2 months.

For faster turnarounds, submit fewer generative AI. Focus on quality instead of quantity. 😉


Model/Property Releases:

Real people = Model release signed by the human it is based on.

Fake people = Property release signed by you as creator of the AI asset.

Hope that helps.

Generative AI assets are NOT photographs. If you submit them as photographs they will most certainly be rejected.

Certainly yes. Colleagues accounts were suspended with just one mistake in an AI-generated illustration, where he classified it as a photo instead of an illustration.

    Yes, that's what we tell contributors all the time. If you submit generative AI, you should follow the instruction by the letter. There are many contributors who want to be clever, and ignore the instructutions. I caught, given the furious customer reaction, Adobe does not show mercy.

      I'm also going through the same problem. I have illustrations that have been under review for over two months. Another issue is that when they are approved, it's only one or two images.

      1. Be very sure never to use "photo" when you have an AI generative work. Adobe will reject your work and probably block your account. Carefully follow all the rules for AI work.

      2. Two months is no longer unusual, because some people submit hundreds or even thousands of AI images, and the people who check them cannot keep up.

        Are they camera photos, or are they AI generative?
