It's been 1 month for the posts, and I'm waiting for a result in the continuous review.

[YASARAKIN6467]

Hello. I sent illustration images a month ago and they have not been reviewed yet.I sent an e-mail to Adobe about this issue and they say they are very busy and they said it will take 2-3 weeks to review.Normally this should not happen If there was a problem, your posts would be canceled. There is no such problem, why does it take so long to help and if anyone has an idea, please reply.

If you read the messages in this forum, you will see many people asking the same question. But this a normal wait, at the moment. Every picture is carefully reviewed by a team of reviewers, and they are very busy because of the flood of AI. 2-3 months will not be surprising. You just need to wait.

This is a really incredible process, it's really sad to see a company like Adobe that has such low functionality.

What do you understand under “functionality”?

Adobe simply got overwhelmed by generative AI contributors. Instead of submitting 10 assets a week, they send in 1000 assets a day.

"Low functionality"? I think you are used to life as a customer, where the company has the aim of keeping customers happy. When you contribute to Adobe Stock you don't have a customer relationship. Welcome to life as a supplier!

Unfortunately, you are in the illustrations queue, and yes, moderators are busy checking tons of generative AI assets…in the illustration queue, the same queue you need to submit your 3D assets. We have reports, that it takes about 3 months to moderate.

Yes, normally this should not happen. But there is a problem, but not related to your submissions, but to the influx of generative AI, and the number of moderators. Adobe now limits the number of assets that can be in the queue, so it should be fine again soon.

I would simply suggest, that if you are a seasoned contributor, that you continue contributing. You can submit files until you hit the (unknown) submission limit. We had a report from one user, who did hit that limit with 480 assets, but I do not know if those assets were in the queue at the moment of the implementation of the limit. It's a moving limit, and it should still be quite low.

[YASARAKIN6467]

I've read a lot of posts on this topic in the forum, but there is only one group that usually sends content with the same visual content, which of course lengthens the process.But I'm more confident that usually quality content is available for sale in adobe.

The problem is the illustration moderation queue. As generative AI submitters need to submit there, they are clogging the system.

[YASARAKIN6467]

Adobe has made a distinction in this regard, but I guess they don't take it into account or they don't care. People still post to different areas.

[Abambo]

Illustrations need to be posted in illustrations. 3D rendering, generative AI, scanned illustrations, all go to illustrations. Photos go to photos and vector art goes to vector.

Adobe cares because they are now limiting the number of assets you can have in the moderation queue. So, submitting 1000 assets in a row is no more possible. I expect that the waiting time will go down.

[YASARAKIN6467]

I hope artificial intelligence develops in this regard. Because when the customer is lost, there is no return.

"Because when the customer is lost, there is no return." This is true, but no customer relationship is involved in the delay of months.

[Endemikimages]

Non. Il n'y a pas de distinction. Cela fait 1 mois que j'attends que mes photographies soient examinées. Y a vraiment de l'abus sur les soumissions d'images générées par intelligence artificielle. Et comment ce fait-il qu'une société comme Adobe n'engage pas plus de modérateurs (même temporairement) pour examiner l'importante quantité de soumissions ?

[Abambo]

You are reacting to a thread from May this year. At that moment the answer was true. Since then, generative AI is also allowed to be submitted in the photography queue and the lead to longer modereration waiting times. 

There are several actions taken by Adobe to get long waiting times down:

1. Adobe limited the number of assets you can have in the waiting queue. 
2. Adobe opened the photography queue for certain generative AI assets.
3. I suppose also that they hired more moderators.

Let's face one important issue with you request: moderation is not simply a yes or no question. You need to check thoroughly for errors and you can't just let pass assets like that. Generative AI indeed also needs a different checking. You need to train moderators for this. In no way, you can simply ask your best buddy to be a moderator for six months. That does not work. 

According to Mat Haywards, the typicall waiting time for moderation is currently 4 weeks and the maximum waiting time is 2 months. I do not see a problem in having to wait a week longer than before. My pictures will be open for sales for an eternity.

Merci pour les précisions. Cependant si je me suis permis de répondre à un fil de discussion du mois de mai, c'est que malheureusement et dans mon cas personnel, le soucis d'attente est toujours d'actualité au mois de novembre. 
aussi, il ne faut pas essayer de noyer le poisson ou de faire l'autruche. Avant l'autorisation des images générées par intelligence artificielle, le temps d'attente pour examiner une soumissions était de quelques jours. Aujourd'hui c'est jusqu'à 2 mois. Vous ne pouvez pas me dire le contraire. Je ne dis pas que Adobe ne fasse pas des efforts, loin de là, et je vous crois sur paroles sur les démarches entreprises. Mais éclairez moi sur un point, est-ce qu'un modérateur examine autant des soumissions photo, vecteurs, illustrations et images IA ? 

[Abambo]

Well, this does not change the fact that in May the situation was quite different, as the rules were different. But yes, the increase of the moderation waiting time is a direct consequence of Adobe's decision to accept generative AI and the gold rush thereafter. 

I suppose that Adobe is shifting resources from one queue to an other to keep the waiting time down. However, the different sections are there for cause. You simply can't take a moderator who is used to moderate illustrations to moderate photos and vice versa. And Ikm here even not talking about vector files or video, which both have very specific needs for moderation. This also answers your other question: different types of assets need different moderation times.

[Jill_C]

We don't know how Adobe allocates the workload among their Moderators, though it does seem that they've had to train Moderstors specifically to review Generative AI assets,

After analyzing the situation for the past three months, it has become evident that a significant number of individuals are uploading similar content on various platforms, including Adobe Stock. While Adobe Stock allows users to upload their content, it is crucial to consider the importance of offering unique, high-quality material.

The most effective approach is to discover your own style and niche and focus solely on uploading images that fit within that specific niche. By doing so, you will greatly improve your acceptance rate. It is essential to view your portfolio page as a channel that welcomes potential buyers to browse through your collection.

To illustrate this, I would like to share my personal experience. I started my journey on Adobe Stock alongside a friend. While my friend chose to upload a diverse range of content that he could generate, I decided to concentrate on a particular niche that I discovered to have a limited number of images available on the platform. This deliberate decision resulted in a high acceptance rate for my submissions and an increase in sales.

When visitors land on my portfolio page, they will exclusively find photos that align with my chosen niche. This focused approach allows them to easily navigate through my portfolio and increases the likelihood of finding the specific content they are in search of. In contrast, during my research on Adobe Stock, I noticed that many users upload random content that either lacks market demand or is already available on the platform in superior quality, often created using AI generative techniques.

By identifying your unique style and niche and consistently uploading high-quality content that caters to that specific audience, you can differentiate yourself from the competition and enhance your chances of success in the market. It is essential to prioritize quality over quantity and consider the demand and uniqueness of the content you upload. This strategic approach will help you stand out and attract potential customers who are specifically looking for content within your chosen niche.

D'accord avec vous !  Je suis directeur artistique et photographe. J'utilise tous les jours Adobe Stock et ce depuis Fotolia. Aujourd'hui mes recherches d'images sont polluée par des résultats d'images générées par intelligence artificielle (oui je sais il y a les filtres). Personnellement ne n'apprécie pas. C'est fallacieux. Dans les images que je recherche mes clients cherchent l'authenticité et non le factice. Les images IA devraient avoir une section propre à elles au même titre que les templates, les vidéos et l'audio. Mais ce n'est que mon avis personnel. 
peu importe ce que pense les autres, qu'ils soient pour ou contre, je dis simplement, que mon expérience de Adobe Stock s'est dégradé avec l'introduction des images AI dans les résultats de mes recherches. 
mais soyons lucides, aujourd'hui les soumissions des images AI est plus pour des raisons lucratifs que nécessaire. 

[Abambo]

The generative AI filter should be sticky and marking of generative AI should be more accurate. As for the rest, if you like or dislike AI, it looks like a good business, at least for Adobe.

[Abambo]

You are repeating more or less the recommendations of Adobe, concerning unique content.

As for different stock providers, if you upload the same content, you will get different assets that sell. So users are looking for different assets on different sites.
