Hi there,

I’d like to know why this photo hasn’t been refused for the violation of the Intellectual Property Code reason ?

I had the same problem with photo of Paris few days ago.

I don‘t really know how to do to see this photo accepted.

In general, what is the problem with this kind of photo ?

Thank you for your answer

All right, I understand very well ! Thank you very much for your brillant explanations.

One last thing, taking the exemple I mentioned first. The Sydney Opera house photo.

I took the photo, I'm the owner of it. I took the photo from a public space, and the opera is now in public domain.

How do I have to fil this form in that case ?

I fill out the form as the owner and the artist, but not sure it suits in that case.

Below, a screenshot on how I fill out the form in my case.

Hi michaelp

Except you are the owner of the Sydney Opera House, you cannot sign as owner. Property owner in this case means the person who has the title for the property (eg land title - land owner) or entitled to the property. If you are not the owner of the property of which you take the photograph of, you will have to find the owner to fill in and sign the owner's section of the form.

You the photographer is the artist. You sign the artist section. of the form.

Even though you took this image from a public space, the Sydney Opera House is isolated. You did not take it as a part of the cityscape, but as an individual building. If you did take it as a part of the city scape as in the example under "Architecture", "Sydney Opera House" at Known image restrictions , then you'd not need a release. Click on "Sydney Opera House to see the example".

I hope this was helpful

Regards

JG

I find that Adobe Stock is inconsistent in Their application. For example I did a search for images on the Western wall in Israel. Found images, looked at them, Checked them against mine, Some where similar, overall concept the same/ I submitted mine and it was rejected for property violation. I had other landmarks accepted. Just wandering who can claim other rights on ancient heritage sites. Architect is dead, builder is dead, and the site belongs to the people, such as the Western wall,  The original poster already mentioned the bridge is public domain

Without seeing the picture, you cannot get an answer.

In general, any logo in the picture will get you a refusal.

Hi mickaelp

I can understand your confusion seeing an image like yours accepted while yours was rejected for intellectual reason. Intellectual violation means you need to get property release signed and submitted before Adobe will accept your image. That is the guideline from now and onwards. Adobe acquired Fotolia with portfolio having images that do not comply to the current regulations. These images will be completely removed in time. Regulations do change over time based on experience and observations, therefore the focus should be on current regulation  to go foward. You may find the following discussion interesting and informative:

    Hi Jacquelin,

    Thank's for your reply.

    So if I understand, when I want a sell a photo like this one, I have to fill out the Property Release Checklist ?

    But how can I do to send the form and how can I do to see my photos accepted ?

    Thank you very much.

    Best regards

    To start with, you need to go through the guidelines regarding accepted images to make sure Adobe will accept your image at all.

    Property release and protection guidelines for Adobe Stock

    Known image restrictions

    Then you will need to find the owner/person with relevant authority to permit submission; to have them complete and sign a release form https://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/stock/property/Releases-en.pdf  or use the Adobe sign tool on the portal. You will then submit the form attached to the image as the steps at プロパティリリース  (Instruction in English).

    I hope this answers your question.

    Regards
