## Methodology and Company Pages
### English (en)
- StockPhotoScout methodology: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/en/methodology - The expensive part of Adobe Stock production is not making one more image. It is making a batch that should have been rejected before generation. StockPhotoScout checks intended use, supply crowding, similarity risk, and keyword potential before a theme moves into batch production.
- Pricing: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/en/pricing - StockPhotoScout credits are used for Custom themes, AI image generation, metadata, and auto upload workflows. Custom themes help you decide what is worth making; auto upload turns approved themes into images, CSV metadata, and upload tasks. Purchases are not open yet; log in to reserve a package for priority notice.
- About StockPhotoScout: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/en/about - StockPhotoScout is a workflow tool for Adobe Stock contributors. It does more than help you create another image: it helps you decide whether a theme is worth making, prepare prompts, titles, and keywords, and move the work into upload tasks. The goal is simple: make fewer weak images, spend less time repeating metadata work, and catch problems before upload.
- About Me: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/en/authors/steve - I began submitting my own photography in 2018. In 2024, Midjourney and other AI image tools changed how quickly I could test and produce stock ideas. After working with hundreds of thousands of images, I turned the methods that consistently helped into StockPhotoScout—and left the most tedious copying and pasting to the software.

### Chinese (zh-CN)
- 大雄AI方法论: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/zh-cn/methodology - 做 Adobe Stock 最贵的不是生成图片，是做了一批本来就不该做的图。大雄AI的方法很简单：先判断这张图有没有明确买家，再决定要不要进入批量生成。主题热不热只是起点，谁会使用、图库里有多少相似素材、内容重复风险，以及买家会不会这样搜索，才决定它值不值得继续做。
- 积分价格: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/zh-cn/pricing - 大雄AI的积分主要用于专属主题、AI 图片生成、标题关键词和自动传图任务。专属主题适合先判断一个方向值不值得做；自动传图适合把通过筛选的主题变成图片、CSV 和上传任务。购买和支付需要登录后进入安全的积分充值页。
- 关于大雄AI: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/zh-cn/about - 大雄AI是给 Adobe Stock 供稿人用的自动化工作台。它不是只帮你多生成一张图，而是先帮你判断题材值不值得做，再把提示词、标题、关键词和上传流程串起来。目标很直接：少做无效图，少写重复字段，少在上传后才发现问题。
- 关于我: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/zh-cn/authors/steve - 2018 年，我开始把自己拍摄的作品投向图库。2024 年，Midjourney 等 AI 生图工具改变了我测试题材和生产图片的速度。处理过几十万张图片以后，我把真正管用的供稿方法做成了大雄AI，也把最磨人的复制粘贴交给了程序。

## Public Tool Pages
### English (en)
- 4 Adobe Stock Photo Ideas: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/en/tools/daily-adobe-stock-opportunities - Choose one of four daily Adobe Stock photo ideas and copy its prompt, suggested title, and first 10 keywords.
- Free Adobe Stock Prompt Generator: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/en/tools/adobe-stock-prompt-generator - Type one stock image idea. The tool returns a stock-focused prompt draft, suggested title, and first 10 keywords so you can quickly test whether the idea is specific enough for a stock workflow.
- Free Adobe Stock Keyword Checker: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/en/tools/adobe-stock-keyword-checker - Paste your Adobe Stock keywords. The checker returns a tighter order and a matrix that shows which terms should lead, support, or move later.
- Adobe Stock Similar Content Checker: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/en/tools/adobe-stock-similarity-risk-checker - Adobe Stock’s Similar Content rejection does not only mean you uploaded the same file twice. This checker compares each idea with patterns from real Adobe Similar Content refusals and with other items in your batch, then tells you what to keep, rewrite, or remove before upload.
- Check Adobe Stock Rejection Risks Before Upload: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/en/tools/adobe-stock-submission-checker - Before submitting, check Adobe’s file requirements, visible quality problems, Intellectual Property concerns, and whether images in the same batch are too similar. Check prompts and titles earlier for repeated concepts and prohibited third-party references.

### Chinese (zh-CN)
- Adobe Stock 好卖主题怎么选: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/zh-cn/tools/adobe-stock-theme-generator - 好卖主题通常有三个特征：有人会用、图库里不太拥挤、标题和关键词能写清楚。先用这三个条件排除不建议生成的题材，再进入专属主题工作台生成 prompt、英文标题和关键词。
- Adobe Stock 自动传图工具: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/zh-cn/tools/adobe-stock-auto-upload - 大雄AI的 Adobe Stock 自动传图工具面向批量供稿人：它把图片、标题、关键词和 Adobe Stock 上传任务连在一起，并在上传前处理历史相似度、重复候选、失败记录和任务状态。

## Guides
### English (en)
- June 2026 Update: Auto Upload Filters Unclear and Repetitive Ideas Earlier: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/en/guides/stockphotoscout-june-2026-update - Auto Upload now checks whether an idea has a clear use, is too similar to existing stock content, or has weak keywords before generation starts. GPT images also generate at the same time, retry temporary failures, and stop earlier when a task cannot continue.
- How to Sell Stock Photos: A Practical Contributor Workflow: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/en/guides/how-to-sell-stock-photos - To sell stock photos, choose a stock photo site that fits what you can produce consistently. Then repeat this cycle: start with a buyer need, make a specific image, describe the finished file accurately, submit a small batch of distinct files, and use review and licensing results to plan what you make next.
- Best Stock Photo Sites for Contributors: Adobe vs Shutterstock vs Alamy: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/en/guides/best-stock-photo-sites-for-contributors - I would start with Adobe Stock for AI images, and consider Shutterstock or Alamy for documentary photography. For commercial photos accepted by all three, I would compare the submission work and actual sales before choosing where to spend more time.
- Generate and Upload Your First 10 Adobe Stock Images Free: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/en/guides/chrome-extension-first-10-images - Install the extension, sign in, open the Adobe Stock Contributor account you want to use, and connect Auto Upload. StockPhotoScout creates and sends 10 images with titles and keywords; you review and submit them in Adobe.
- How to Upload Stock Photos to Adobe Stock: From File to Review: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/en/guides/how-to-upload-stock-photos-to-adobe-stock - Sign in to the Adobe Stock Contributor Portal, select Upload, then choose Browse or drag in your prepared photo. When the file appears in New, it has been uploaded but not submitted. Check the category, title, keywords, releases, and any required generative AI declarations, then select Submit to send it to moderation.
- How to Bulk Upload Images to Adobe Stock with SFTP and CSV: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/en/guides/auto-upload-and-best-selling-themes - Choose a 10, 20, 50, or 100-image batch in StockPhotoScout. If Adobe provides SFTP for your account, StockPhotoScout sends the finished files automatically; otherwise it keeps the completed images and CSV metadata ready for download. You review the batch and select Submit in Adobe Stock yourself.
- Adobe Stock Images Accepted but Not Selling? Check Them After 90 Days: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/en/guides/adobe-stock-sales - Choose 10 accepted images that have been live for at least 90 days with zero downloads. Search the specific subject in each title, then test the first five keywords one by one. Fix the title and keywords when the results are unrelated, narrow the next batch when the search is too broad, and stop near-duplicates when the results are already full of similar images. Ninety days is the observation period used in this guide, not an Adobe rule.
- How Much Can an Adobe Stock Contributor Earn? 653 Downloads Analyzed: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/en/guides/adobe-stock-contributor-earnings-2026 - The complete record analyzed from April 2 to July 28, 2026 includes 653 Adobe Stock downloads that generated $577.35 in royalties, an average of $0.88 each. The 105 images licensed at least twice produced 68.5% of those royalties, so repeat licensing mattered more than a few unusually large payments. These records cover sold images only, not the full portfolio.
- What Sells on Adobe Stock? I Stopped Chasing Popular Categories: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/en/guides/best-selling-themes - Do not generate images directly from a popular category. Start with the content a buyer is trying to publish, turn that need into one specific image, then check how buyers would search for it and compare it with images you have already made.
- Why Did Adobe Stock Reject Your AI Image? Choose the Right Next Action: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/en/guides/adobe-stock-rejection-reasons-ai-images - Start with Adobe’s exact refusal label. Similar Content means stopping the rejected version, not making cosmetic changes. Quality Issues require inspecting the finished file for a real defect. For Intellectual Property, remove the protected element completely, attach a valid release if Adobe accepts one, or leave the file out. AI-label and release refusals usually require correcting the submission, not regenerating the picture.
- Adobe Stock Intellectual Property Refusal: What to Check When You See No Logo: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/en/guides/adobe-stock-intellectual-property-refusal-no-logo - No visible logo does not rule out intellectual-property risk. Inspect the finished image separately from the prompt, title, and keywords. Edit only when an incidental element can be removed completely; otherwise regenerate the image, attach a valid release where Adobe accepts one, or leave the file out.
- How to Find Better AI Stock Photo Ideas Beyond the First Generic Prompt: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/en/guides/ai-stock-photo-ideas-beyond-generic-prompts - Do not try to rescue a generic stock idea by adding more style words. Replace the obvious symbol with a specific material, process, problem, or result that can carry an accurate title and keywords.
- Adobe Stock Keywording Guide — How to Order Your First 10 Keywords: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/en/guides/contributor-keyword-workflow - Keywords can be accurate and still be weak when the subject is buried. Start with a plain title, then put the visible subject, distinguishing details, and real scene in the first 10 positions.
- How to Sell AI Images on Adobe Stock: My Complete Beginner Workflow: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/en/guides/sell-ai-generated-images-on-adobe-stock - Yes. Adobe Stock accepts AI-generated images. For a strong first submission, choose a specific buyer need, turn it into a clear prompt, inspect the finished image, and make the title and first keywords describe the same idea.
- Adobe Stock Quality Issues Rejection: Find the Defect That Matters: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/en/guides/adobe-stock-quality-issues-rejection-ai-images - Treat a Quality Issues refusal as a problem in the finished file, not a sign that the subject is saturated. Inspect the file at 100%, especially the part a buyer would actually use. Repair only a small, isolated defect. If the main action, text, anatomy, or technical structure is wrong, regenerate or discard the file.
- Adobe Stock Rejected Your Image as Similar Content. Stop This Version.: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/en/guides/stock-rejection-similarity - A Similar Content refusal is not a quality defect you can repair. Archive the rejected file instead of changing its crop, color, background, or keywords and submitting it again. If Adobe accepted another file from the same batch, keep that file and archive the similar versions. Start a new image only when it serves a clearly different use.
- What 3,576 Similar Content Refusals Reveal About Large Uploads and Repeated Setups: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/en/guides/adobe-stock-similar-content-rejection-examples - In this 3,576-file sample, 3,004 refusals (84.0%) came from uploads in which at least 20 files received the same refusal. Separately, the files showed repeated subjects and familiar stock-photo setups even when their prompts, framing, backgrounds, titles, or keywords differed. Review each upload as a group and remove images that would serve the same purpose instead of relying on cosmetic changes.

### Chinese (zh-CN)
- 2026年6月平台更新：自动传图会先排除用途不清、内容过于相似的题材: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/zh-cn/guides/stockphotoscout-june-2026-update - 自动传图现在先做三件事：筛掉用途不清的题材，减少生成与图库现有内容过于相似的题材，让 GPT 同时生成多张图片。临时失败会自动重试，无法继续的任务会更早提示原因。
- 如何卖图库照片：从选择平台到看懂投稿结果: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/zh-cn/guides/how-to-sell-stock-photos - 想长期卖图库照片，先选一个适合自己内容的平台，再用一小批图片按这个顺序开始：确认谁需要这张图，把题材做具体，根据成片填写标题和关键词，投稿后分别记录审核和下载结果。只把文件传上去，还不算完成供稿。
- 新手图库供稿平台怎么选：Adobe Stock、Shutterstock 还是 Alamy？: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/zh-cn/guides/best-stock-photo-sites-for-contributors - 没有一家图库平台适合所有供稿人。如果在 Adobe Stock、Shutterstock 和 Alamy 之间选择，先看作品类型：在这三家中，生成式 AI 图片目前只有 Adobe Stock 接受；传统纪实照片可以考虑 Shutterstock 和 Alamy 的编辑用途投稿，Adobe 不接受传统编辑类摄影。如果是授权齐全的商业摄影，先在一家平台投稿并观察审核和下载结果，再决定是否还值得多投一家。
- 如何把图片上传到 Adobe Stock：从文件到正式送审: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/zh-cn/guides/how-to-upload-stock-photos-to-adobe-stock - 登录 Adobe Stock Contributor Portal 后，选择 Upload，通过 Browse 选取图片或直接拖入文件。图片出现在 New 中，只表示文件已经传到后台；继续检查分类、标题、关键词、授权文件和 AI 声明，最后选择 Submit，素材才会进入审核。
- 如何用大雄AI批量上传图片到 Adobe Stock: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/zh-cn/guides/auto-upload-and-best-selling-themes - 大雄AI可以批量生成 Adobe Stock 图片，为每张图准备英文标题和按重要性排序的关键词，并根据账户情况把图片传到 Adobe Stock，或交付图片和 CSV 下载包。本教程从绑定 Adobe 账户开始，讲清如何创建任务、查看结果、用 CSV 导入标题关键词并提交审核。
- Adobe Stock 图片上架 90 天仍没销量？用搜索结果找原因: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/zh-cn/guides/adobe-stock-sales - 先选出 10 张上架满 90 天仍零下载的图片，逐张搜索标题里的具体对象和前 5 个关键词。结果与图片不相关，就修改标题和关键词；结果过于宽泛，就让下一批改做更具体的对象；结果相关却充满相似图片，就停止继续制作近似变体。90 天只是本文采用的观察期，不是 Adobe 官方规则。
- Adobe Stock 卖图能赚多少钱？看 653 次真实下载: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/zh-cn/guides/adobe-stock-contributor-earnings-2026 - 2026 年 4 月 2 日至 7 月 28 日记录的 653 次 Adobe Stock 下载，共产生 577.35 美元版税，平均每次 0.88 美元。至少售出两次的 105 张图片贡献了 68.5% 的版税，说明收入差距主要来自同一图片被反复下载，而不是少数单次高额授权。这些记录只包含已经售出的图片，不代表完整作品集的售出率。
- Adobe Stock 什么图片好卖？停止追热门主题后，我反而卖出去了: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/zh-cn/guides/best-selling-themes - 不要从热门大类直接生成图片。先找到买家正在制作的内容，把需求拆成一张具体图片，再核对搜索词和历史相似内容，决定这个主题值不值得做。
- Adobe Stock 关键词指南：前 10 个关键词怎么排序: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/zh-cn/guides/contributor-keyword-workflow - 关键词都相关，核心词排得太后也会让图片更难被准确搜到。先用一句自然标题说清画面，再把主体、明确特征和真实场景放进前 10 个关键词。
- AI 生成图片可以卖到 Adobe Stock 吗？可以，但正确标记 AI 只是其中一项要求: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/zh-cn/guides/sell-ai-generated-images-on-adobe-stock - 可以。Adobe Stock 接受符合要求的生成式 AI 内容，但提交前还要确认生成工具允许商用，按要求标记 AI 内容，并检查 IP、人物和财产、图片质量、相似内容、标题和关键词。
- Adobe Stock Quality Issues 拒稿：先找出真正影响使用的缺陷: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/zh-cn/guides/adobe-stock-quality-issues-rejection-ai-images - 收到 Quality Issues，先检查最终提交文件的具体缺陷，而不是判断题材是否饱和。把买家实际会用到的部分放大到 100%：孤立的小瑕疵可以局部修复；如果手、动作、可读文字或专业结构是图片的主体，出错后就应重新生成或放弃，锐化或局部修补解决不了。
- Adobe Stock 因“相似内容”拒稿后，这一版就该停了: https://www.stockphotoscout.com/zh-cn/guides/stock-rejection-similarity - 收到 Similar Content 后，不要把拒稿文件换色、裁切、换背景或改关键词再投。把这张图归档；同批已有通过图时，只保留已经通过的图。只有当你能说清另一种实际用途，并且新图需要不同的人物、动作、环境或场合时，才从头做一张新图，而不是继续修改拒稿图。
