Understanding the concept of "Similar Images"

Hello.

 

The above pencil tiger portrait failed review due to "Similar Images Already Submitted".

When I searched my archive of images named tiger that I had previously submitted to Adobe Stock, I found the following:

I still can't understand what is meant by "Similar Images" and what is not.

 

For example, about a week ago, another friend opened a topic on the forum because he couldn't see his own work, me and other friends said that he couldn't see it because there were some restrictions for Turkey, maybe you remember.

 

When I looked at that friend's archive, his approved visual portfolio consisted of a groom and a bride's designs, in the form of drawings from beginning to end, with small differences. Hundreds of images like this.

 

Or at one point, I somehow came across another participant's portfolio, there were maybe 30 photos of a young woman and a young man in a factory, again with small differences, approved: The location is the same, the people are the same, their clothes and accessories are the same, etc.

As I said at the beginning, what are "Similar Images" and what are not, how can I learn this?

 

Thank you.

No one can understand this recent development. Over the past seven days, I've had two dozen "similar" images rejected. Mostly photorealistic portraits, which I specialize in, but never of the same model. Poses can be similar, yes, but they simply don't "jive" with the description of what is meant by similar (e.g., different colored backgrounds of the same image, or the same model in similar poses, and no more than three, etc. My abstract and wallpaper images (which I loathe making) have been reg

About a week ago, the situation seemed to improve a bit, some of my posts were being rejected for similarity and some were being accepted.

 

But then it was back to square one, all my submissions were being rejected again.

 

I decided to stop my posts and wait, because I think it is dangerous for my account to be rejected for the same reason over and over again.

 

Although one of the community experts told me in a reply that this situation (being rejected for similarity) would not jeopardize anyone's account, I am still not sure. For example, here is what a participant who was suspended for similarity wrote:

It won't change unless everyone with the problem emails contributor-support@adobe.com  

You can explain it's site-wide, linking to numerous threads on their boards. Don't accept a standard reply; ask for them to investigate further.
