‘Similarity to previously submitted images’ - I think a feature not a bug
I am following with interest the discussions about rejects due to ‘similarity with previously submitted images’. In my opinion, there is only one plausible reason for this. Since the phenomenon has been observed, it has been possible for customers to ‘generate variants’ for every stock photo. That is the solution to the puzzle. Adobe only needs one photo, the customer can generate the series or variants himself via AI. So it's not a bug but a feature that only individual photos are accepted from our photos. More is no longer necessary. However, an AI can never create variants like the photographer can. But that no longer seems to matter. I switched to AI a long time ago and have always created around 3 - 5 variants. But I was somehow lying to myself, because my portfolio of 3000 images actually only corresponds to 1000 unique images and I am somehow grateful to Adobe for sharpening my mind in this respect. Just my opinion.
