How to associate images with release forms?

I just uploaded my first images, and filled out some release forms, but how does the reviewer know which forms belong to which images?

I didn't see any options during either submission on how to associate them with each other.

I interpret the prompt as "recognizable people or recognizable property". NOT "recognizable people or (any) property". After all, for generic property you never need a release, so it cannot mean "any property".

But I guess (and in line with other documentation) they consider imaginary persons to be recognizable property (never mind the logic), and thus want a release.

So, they should clearly clarify this prompt a bit, as right now it's a bit contradictory.

============

Recognizable person or property means (recognizable person) or (property).

 

FIRST CASE:  Let's say you paint an original abstract picture and submit it to Stock. 

It's not recognizable to anyone but you, it's an abstract.  But it's an original artwork and is therefore private property.  Your property.  You as the artist must submit a signed property release giving Adobe Stock permission to sell it.

 

SECOND CASE:  Now let's say you paint an original picture of your local bartender.  You must submit TWO releases, a model release signed by the bartender and a property release signed by you as the artist.

 

It's the same for all mediums -- watercolors, finger paintings, digital drawings, or generative AI illustrations .  You are submitting your artwork for sale. Complete a property release for each one.  If your artwork contains a real person, also submit a model release.

 

Hope that makes sense.

Property releases (for AI images).

 

They all filled out, and listed as complete in my profile, but how do I link them to the relevant images?

NVM - I figured it out.

The submission form has an option to specify whether the image contains a recognizable person. If you turn that on, you will then get field where you can enter the release form number. (But all my objects were generic, I never got that prompt.)


A recognizable person requires a signed model release by that recognizable person.

 

AI Illustrations based on known celebrities like Elivis Presely or Beyonce, you will never get it through.

On the image page there's an empty space for the release, but I didn't see any option during upload where I would define the form.
