At first there was a limit of 50 pieces, now it’s 500 pieces, when will the limit be expanded? Thanks in advance for answer!

IMO, nobody should submit more than 500 images for review. It slows down the review process for EVERYONE!

Yep. And let's not forget the reason the limitation was established in the first place nor a few previous contributors who had their accounts disabled for spamming.

yes, new contributors with no experience whatever, not even reading the instructions, submitting tens of thousands assets in a good day in an automated manner. That lead to an overloading of the moderation queues.

There was one guy who got accepted, before getting blocked, 60,000 assets in the course of two or three months. He claimed a low rejection rate, but that was before moderators were trained to look for the typical generative AI errors.

The parameters to "earn" a higher limit are unknown; Adobe has never made that info public. But we suspect that it has to do with acceptance rate and sales history. As your account gains more experience, and more sales, the limit will eventually be increased. In the meantime, you can upload as many as you want to your account, add titles and keywords and submit them as soon as the number under review drops below 500.

Helpful advice! I recently discovered that if only part of the files are accepted, and the rest is waiting: for example, 20 files are accepted, then I can immediately send 20 more files 🙂

Yes, as soon as a slot is free, you can submit a new asset. That is quite logical. I even wouldn't mention that, as it is the same also in "real life".

The limit has been instaured to get the moderation process again to normal. It's gradual, it's imcreased with experience, but the exact rules have not published by Adobe. But having 500 assets waiting in the moderation queue is a lot. That means you can add 500 assets in 8 weeks, if your assets are waiting the maximum indicated time. That's a nice growth. And that would mean that you would work around 4 hours a day 7/7 with 30 minutes to cure errors in the files. That is a lot.

More experienced contributors have a limit of 3000, which is the current maximum.

Yes, I understand. But I'm not really understand about mistakes. I dont have any mistakes. They take 25 of 30, or even 95 of 100 of my images without any requests to change. In my other files the quality is really lower, and I don’t mind if they weren’t taken - they’re are right (moderators). Moderation time for me personally now takes 20-23 days. I also populate files in batches, so it takes about 2 hours to send 500 files (with all the hashtags and unique titles, but still using some templates for hastags because photos are little similar).

Well, I don’t have a problem with small pupils, six fingers, elements hanging in the air, pixelation of hair and eyelashes, strange shadows, asymmetrical design of clothes and smt like that. I always edit the images, of course, and not just generate them. It seems to me that it is already clear that no one will accept photos with errors like with fingers and there is no point in wasting my own time and also moderator's. Therefore, for some types of photos I have 6-7 zones of edits. But some subjects just doesnt need it.

By @MliO111

Great. Some people claim that such errors are normal and that Adobe accepted the last time, so they need to do that again.

The problems that I still have: this is the pixelation of nature (if you do Midourney, you know that a normal forest panorama now have terrible quality), but Adobe accepts these photos anyway (?). But I’m ashamed to make them of such quality, so I don’t do them yet and focus on different subjects. So far, any panorama of the meadow is horror still.

By @MliO111

For once, someone who has understood that quality matters.

Not it's not like that like spamming. Simple example female portrait with blur background. So we have different race/make up/hair type/occupancy/interior etc. I have 10 years of experience as a content manager so it's just the habit of doing everything according to the system, and it’s fast. So it's totally different images. For example black woman doctor and white woman student. But in the end 90% of hashtags are the same (female / close up / smile / portraits etc). I just systematically approach my work. I take 50 photos of a similar type, and don’t scatter my attention. This is useful.

By @MliO111

Except that they are generated (?), indeed this is not spamming. And optimizing the work is not forbidden.

Those photos that were rejected from me: in one I did not notice the black line / white line (smt MidJourney do it), in the other, upon closer examination, the quality is poor (it is not clear why it is lower than usual), the third is too dark. This is normal non-acceptance, I like the moderation policy for 100%.

By @MliO111

Some rejections are normal. Rejection vs acceptance in the low single digit percentage is great.

But I would like to expand the limit to 3000 of course))). Considering that my acceptance rate is quite large, although not ideal. Now I have 500 photos in queue, I hope that about 480-490 of them will be accepted.

By @MliO111

That's good. Please update this post, when your allowance augments. That will help us to understand the mechanism a little better, even that I doubt that there is one truth. The parameter seems to be floating and get adapted from time to time.

For now my limit is still 500 pieces. But sales are much less than 500 pieces, so for now I'm waiting. My failure rate (I only do AI MidJourney, no res photography) remains at 3.5-4%. That is, 4 photos out of 100 are not accepted. But I have not yet been asked to edit a single photo. I guess that 33% of those not accepted were considered spam, because the photos are very similar and they only left 3 version totally.

It's just a guess, but we suspect the limit is extended when the number of assets sold is equal to the limit. So if you sell 500 assets, your limit will jump to 3001. We think. We don't know for sure.
