Hi, I posted some photos, none of which are AI generated, and after 17 days they are still under review. Could you please guide me? Thank you

Welcome to the Community Forum. It appears to be your first visit. While you're here, spend some time perusing other recent posts and you'll learn that review time is a frequent topic of discussion. Due to the huge influx of Generative AI assets, review time has grown to 2 months or more. There's nothing you can do to hasten the process.

Thank you for your reply, I asked as I was informed by community experts that for photos, not AI generated the review time is typically between 7 to 10 days. Thank you

Sorry, I misread your post in which you indicated that the assets you submitted are NOT AI. Yes, 7-10 days is typical for photographs. Is the the first batch of photographs you've submitted to Adobe Stock?

[defaulta2vm8g0vbr99]

No worries at all, yes they are my first batch. My second is currently at 8 days. Thank you.

I have a suspicion, based on anecdotal evidence only, that existing accounts with previously accepted submissions and prior sales are prioritized higher in the Moderation queue. My latest submission of photographs was reviewed in 9 days.

Hello,

I'm just trying to get an idea of how long others are currently waiting for photo (not ai generated) reviews. I have over 20 photos (not ai generated and not my first submission) in review. The oldest is now at 28 days... 

thanks!

@JojoS28,

Review time varies based on how many other assets were ahead of yours in the wait queue.  Stock gets hundreds to thousands of submissions per week.  And some seasons are busier than others. 

The current wait time is anywhere from 1 - 3 months.   28 business days (M - F)  is not unusual.

Thank you. That was helpful.

My recent submissions of photographs are taking 3-4 weeks.
