Title: StockPhotoScout June 2026 Platform Update: Auto Upload Filters Weak Themes Earlier
Description: Auto Upload now filters unclear, crowded, and failure-prone batches earlier so contributors waste less time and fewer generation credits.
Keywords: StockPhotoScout update, Adobe Stock auto upload, stock contributor guides, custom stock image themes, AI stock image workflow

## Direct Answer
Auto Upload now checks for unclear use cases, crowded themes, and keyword problems before generation starts. GPT batches also generate in parallel, retry temporary failures, and stop earlier when a task cannot continue.

## FAQ
- Do completed upload tasks change? No. Completed tasks are not changed. New tasks use the updated theme gates, similarity checks, and GPT batch generation behavior.
- What does lower similarity risk mean here? New tasks filter crowded themes earlier, so fewer similar directions enter generation. This describes StockPhotoScout's pre-generation filtering, not an approval or download promise.
- Should I use Custom Themes or Auto Upload first? Use Custom Themes if you are still choosing the idea. Use Auto Upload when you already have themes and want to generate images and metadata.

## Test with a small batch first
If you are still choosing a direction, generate a few Custom Themes first. If you already know the theme, run a small Auto Upload batch and check titles, keywords, AI labels, and image quality before increasing quantity.
