Is it is okay to create second account for different Art style ?

[Vilkasss]

Hello,

i would like to separate my images in different accounts, one for illustration and one for photos (currently i have a mix of booth in one account, everything is ai created)

Based on this message
In general, it is possible to create multiple contributor accounts. This is useful if different asset types are uploaded in the different accounts. For example, one account for videos, another account for photos and a third account for illustrations.

We don´t recommend creating multiple accounts to bypass the upload limitations and upload the same asset type and similar content in all accounts. This may lead to the accounts being blocked.

And on that 

In addition, you can now submit photo-realistic generative AI images as asset type photos, i.e., content that looks as though it could have been created by a camera, as long as you check the box that it was created with generative AI tools. All other generative AI content should continue to be submitted as asset type illustrations.

I could finally separate photorealistic work from illustrations to another acocunt and have better structure.

My issue is ... i have already photos and illustrations in same account mixed up -.- (by accident ... all my "Photos" are 100% illustrations ... as there are no Photos of Dragons 😄 

So here i have 2 questions:

1) Can i move images from photo to illustration ? (they even had downloads, so ... i would not like to delete them)
2) Can i simply open second account and work ONLY with Photorealistic images there, without risk getting banned ? Based on the statements that i have linked, it seems to me, that as long i am not mixing things up, it is allowed.

1. You cannot change the file type on accepted images. 

2. It should be okay to open a second account and use that for your "photorealistic" Generative AI assets. I suppose if you wanted to full implement that approach for all your assets, you could delete them from the original account, and resubmit them on the new account; however, you would have to wait months for them to be approved. If you do decide to open a second account, DO NOT duplicate assets between your two accounts.

Thank you for the answer ! This is also my plan.

In the second acccount i would put future photorealistic Images only that i do not put into first account. And if some images are not 100% photo, i would pack them also in the first account and flag them as illustrations.  (some of my prompt mixes photorealistic and phantasy elements)

About the clean up ...I think this is the "right" step ..im just hessitant to delete images that were sold before 😞 Because i am a beginner here, and celebrate every download 🙂 

So i would start with simply future works in new account, and "move" everything photo realistic step by step 🙂 Move = delete and reupload.

Thank you for your info, i just did not wanted to get my accounts banned incase i misunderstood something 😞

I agree with your approach to leave previously licensed images intact on your first account.

Lalu bagaimana jika 2 akun tersebut berbeda niche, apakah akun tersebut akan tetap aman? misal di akun pertama niche campuran, dan akun kedua khusus teknologi, apakah aman? As an alternative, because the AI assets that have been approved in the first account have been deleted on my device, so I can't upload them again

If the assets are of different nature, it will be OK. Don't ask for more precise information, we can't give more precise information.

If you delete accepted content, it may well be, that the content gets refused with a new submission. Handle with care.

Generally: it is not forbidden to use different accounts for different assets. I wouldn't do that, however, as sales accumulate in one account and help to get a better visibility of your assets in search requests. Also, you have to consider the overall sales that accumulate and give you higher royalties: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/royalty-details.html

I think it's worth considering that more frequent submissions and higher/frequent sales may be factors to ranking higher in search results.  It may be beneficial to keep these with one account instead of splitting them between two accounts.  

Cheers!

So what if I have already sent AI assets to my first account but not many, and now my first account is only photos and videos, and my second account is only for AI content, is it possible that I will be blocked? 

[Jill_C]

No, you will not be blocked because you create a second account specifically for AI content as that is allowed by Adobe; however,  be careful not to upload the same content to both accounts. 

[Budi Gustira]

One more question, However, there is some AI content on my first account that has already been sent, is that okay as long as I don't mix up the same content on two different accounts in the future? 

[Jill_C]

I think you'll be okay, but to be perfectly safe, if you have AI images on your first account that have never sold, perhaps it would be better to delete and upload them on the second account.

[George_F]

I don't think the type of assets on an account matter, but I think you could run into some issues if you submit the same assets to multiple accounts.

Cheers!

No, I wouldn't think so. Build a reputation as an AI contributor in your second account, and then after having reached that, you can delete your handful assets on the other account and try to get them accepted again.

It's, however, vital, not to upload EXACTLY the same asset twice.

[Budi Gustira]

thank you, of course I didn't upload different works on my 1st and 2nd accounts, but it has continued that there are several AI works on my first account and the content is mixed up, but on the 2nd account only AI content, if I don't delete the AI work assets on my first account and continued with photos and videos but on the second account I continued with AI work, is that okay? 

[Abambo]

(...) if I don't delete the AI work assets on my first account and continued with photos and videos but on the second account I continued with AI work, is that okay? 

By @Budi Gustira

That has been answered. We do not expect problems on this ground. There is, however, a chance that you will upload the same asset again, to your second account. If that happens, we expect trouble.
