Hello there,

I went from a 95% acceptance rate to 20% or less. Almost all of my submissions are being rejected for the "similar image" reason.

The quality of the images is really good and doesn’t have any issues.

I am uploading at most 2 or 3 variations of each object ,PNGs only and a variety of different items across many categories. I also make sure not to upload similar content that I’ve previously submitted. I am 100% certain that my entire account doesn’t have more than three variations of any given item.

Sometimes, I upload the same object in different styles.

for example, a car in a 3D style and another version in watercolor or clay, so they are still distinct. (2 to 3 variations for each style)

 

Is this a general issue that will be resolved soon, or is it only affecting me?

Hello everyone. Adobe Stoke made a reject of my photo under the pretext that I posted a similar picture. But this is not true. Can anyone explain what is happening?

 

hanks for giving us the chance to consider your image. Unfortunately, during our review we found that it's similar to another image(s) you've already uploaded, so we can't accept it into our collection.

Images must be different enough to provide additional value to our customers. We can't accept more than three color variations of the same image or similar images, and models must appear in different situations or with different expressions to be considered. Please be selective and submit only the very best from each image series.

A number of contributors are having assets rejected for being too similar when in fact they are not. We don't know why. Our only option is to wait things out until the situatioin is explained or fixed. Some have ceased to submit new assets in the meantime.

I haven't uploaded content like this before. Why is it like this?

We're trying to figure that out. I've had over 30 such rejections.

It is believed that "similar images" also refers to other similar images throughout the database from other Contributors. 


I also have the same problem - "a similar image has already been sent by YOU"! And it clearly says that "YOU" - and not in the entire database from other participants.

here is part of the text -

"Thank you for the opportunity to review your image. Unfortunately, upon review, we found that it is similar to another image you uploaded, so we cannot accept it into our collection."
