do you have any information about the 50 photo upload limit? does it only apply to new users? because if the limit is 50 photos and the checks last for 1 month it is practically impossible to do anything

thanks

Why are you posting this if it doesn't directly effect you?

 

50 submissions is a lot for a first-time contributor.

The question is how many of them will be accepted and sell?  It doesn't matter if their assets are reviewed this month or next.  It all balances out at year end.  🤔 🤔

Great to have that confirmed. For new contributors, that should be a great opportunity to be selective with their uploads.

Why? You put your 50 assets in the queue and wait for acceptance. What do you want to do other? 50 in a month would be OK for me. 

If you have really a 50 assets upload limit, you need to upload only the best. You will have a high acceptance rate, and your upload limit will grow. If you submit only scrap, your limit will narrow. I think that is a great deal, to handle this.

I read your post. You didn't mention that it wasn't your request, but that's not the issue. As you can read from @Jill_C's answer, Adobe does not tell, what the upload limit is. They only say that there is an upload limit. 

 

I just reacted to your initial claim, that with an upload limit of 50 you can't do anything. And my answer here is perfectly correct for that case. As your first 50 images, you should upload a selection of your very best assets. Then you wait for moderation. If you get many refusals, your upload limit will stay. And if you read what I wrote, you will read: your upload limit will grow with a high acceptance rate. 

 

You're welcome.

Adobe has been silent on the specifics of the upload limits which were implemented a few months back as a response to the massive influx of Generative AI assets. However, we have gleaned from various posts here and in the Adobe Stock Discord Channel that the limit varies by Contributor. Apparently those who have a low percentage of rejects and have actually sold some of their AI assets can earn a higher limit. The limit is meant to encourage you to carefully edit your submissions, not upload a bunch of similars and ensure that they meet Adobe's quality standards. Review time is now estimated at 2 months or more. While you're waiting, you can review your submissions again and ensure that they meet all the requirements, and you can continue to create new assets to be uploaded at a later time.

in this case it's for a friend of mine who just started, so the first 50 images where nothing has been vwnd because it's still under control and therefore also no rejection, it's ridiculous to put the block at 50 for someone who just started

 

I have a higher limit

I think putting a limit of 50 assets for new users is exactly what is needed for helping the review process return to normal.  Without the queue being clogged up with 1000's of assets submitted by people who may not understand the process and along with other measures put into place, review times should shorten.  This also means contributors can't start a new account when they reach their limit and bypass the hurdles put in place to keep the system from getting overwhelmed.

 

This may be inconvenient for your friend, but this is good for all of us.
