Author Topic: Adobe Stock Contributor Portal Updates (Read 16708 times)

MatHayward · « **on:** April 19, 2017, 15:57 »

Hi All,

I see that this notification was posted in another thread but I'm posting it here as well to ensure maximum exposure.

We removed the View statistics from the Adobe Stock contributor portal, because the feature wasn’t yet providing aggregate views across the Fotolia and Adobe Stock websites and caused confusion.

Over the last few months our foremost priority for the Adobe Stock Contributor website has been to make the submission process as fast and easy as possible. We now provide an automatic category suggestion, more auto-keywords and the ability to upload a CSV file of metadata for easier keywording of multiple files or videos.

We are working on improving the available statistics on the contributor portal but can’t share a release date at this time.

Please share your feedback on the portal and keep the suggestions for improvements coming. I recommend you take a look at the expanded auto-keyword function and the auto-category feature as those are two new features that can potentially increase the speed of your upload process dramatically.

I'm at Photoshop World in Orlando this week so my responses may not be too swift but I will check in here as often as I can.

Thank you!

Mat Hayward

I want to repeat publicly my previously (and privately) expressed thanks for Mat's quick and effective personal response to my plea for help just a few days ago. The glitch that I called to his attention was cleared up right away.

Mat is indeed showing the way that a stock agency should deal with and support its contributors!

Hi Mat,
thank you for sharing valuable info.
I upload from Fotolia website and I find that there is only one thing that makes uploading very time consuming.
That is the need of reordering keywords to have the most important 7 on top. Is that still the way you recommend?
Other than that the uploading is fine to me

MatHayward · « **Reply #8 on:** April 20, 2017, 10:51 »

Wow, thanks for ! I really appreciate it. We are in this together so I promise I'll continue to communicate as much as I can in as timely a manner as possible to issues relevant to contributors at Adobe Stock.

@brightonl: Yes, the keyword order still impacts search and it's very important to list your most important keywords within the first 7. In my personal workflow I use Adobe Bridge to add keywords as they stay in the order I added them. As you probably know, if you use Lightroom to add keywords they are alphabetized which is not ideal.

All that being said, I may change my workflow up now. I played around with the new auto-keywording the other day. Taking off my Adobe hat and putting on my contributor hat, I have to say I was very impressed. I uploaded a photo of a German Shepherd puppy and got 22 keyword results including the fact that it was a dog, a puppy and the system correctly identified the breed! Using the auto keyword feature you can simply drag the most important keywords to the top if they aren't already there. It's much easier and reasonably fast to do in the portal as compared to the Fotolia UI in my personal opinion.

Thanks again,

Mat

Good news about the CSV.

There doesn't seem to be any transparency about what licenses have been sold - just received a video commission for only $7.34 on Adobe stock, though have no way of knowing how it comes about that the file is sold at such a low price. I was led to understand that videos wouldn't be available at such huge discounts. Any way of finding out some details?

Dodie · « **Reply #10 on:** April 22, 2017, 03:32 »

Hi Mat and many thanks for being here with us when needed.

I see that everyone here is very content of how things are going. I don't want to shoot the messenger but as you asked for feedback, I have to ask two questions:

1. Why do we need an auto-keywording tool when most contributors already have their metadata on file at the moment of upload? If I remember correctly, there was an announcement in the past that AS/FT reads the metadata even from video files.
Auto-keywording failed even for the mighty Go0gle, so why waste time with something not needed?
Also, the upload process on FT was already one of the fastest of all agencies and upload never ever failed in the past like it does on AS.

2. My second is probably off topic but if we are talking about time invested in enhancing features, I have to ask this:

FT was my bestseller till mid last year but after AS overtook the agency, sales are dropping slowly but continuously, sinking to 30% earnings in 2017 compared to 2016.
It could be just me but I still want to ask, is it worth to further upload to an agency that became one of the low earners (despite the poll on the right).

What is Adobe doing in this regard?

Glad to hear that.

For me, well earner images from last year are still there but big credit sale like $4.46; $2.36; $1.65; $1.5; $1.13;......as of April 2016 don't happen any more. Mostly I got is $0.26 ($0.29 - tax) and 1 credit $0.25. That is where the difference comes from but as I said before, it could be just my long lasting bad luck.

Or it could have something to do with this or other plan change:

Quote

The transfer of credits to standard licenses requires the purchase of an Adobe Stock plan. The royalty you earn for licenses will initially be $0.99 per image, with each image during the promotion representing one converted credit. Soon thereafter, we will move to pay a royalty at 33% of the image price based on the specific, undiscounted product that was purchased by the buyer. For reference, based on some of the most popular Adobe stock plans, the small image plan of 2 images per month will earn you $3.30 in royalties for each sale. Licenses from the 10 images a month plan pay out at $0.99, and sales from a large subscription plan with 350 or 750 images a month guarantee a minimum payout, which is $0.25 - $0.40 based on your Fotolia rank. We'll be monitoring royalties and payouts closely to keep a careful eye on the success of our contributors.

I didn't want to say it myself but that is what I was thinking too, copying SS methods.
Although SS has many other advantages like editorials while AS brought nothing new, just more rejections for what was previously permitted. I was waiting to see a revolution ( in our favor) in microstock from such a big company like A.

I thought the auto-category was kind of pointless. It's fun to see what it picks, but I usually just end up changing or choosing it anyway. I guess I never reorder my keywords. Didn't realize that was still a thing.

Hi Mat and thanks for being Mat!
If I could agree about the CSV and auto-keywording tool, I have to totally disagree about the general fotolia UI : that's a "worker" UI, where the Adobe Stock UI isn't. I've tried it but completely abandoned, worst of all about how MRs are managed.

There is a need for a very-simple system like the one in 123rf (you are a contributor, test it: it's very easy) or the one in Photodune: you simply upload MRs with the batch of files and the system attaches everything (envato) or you create a CSV with attachments and if there are duplicated MR's the system ignores them. If there aren't, the system stores them.

Very simple and automated!

This could be a GREAT improvement VS fotolia UI: upload files, mr, csv : go in the site and 1-CLICK-ATTACHMENT : done. THIS is improvement!

Thanks for listening!

Dodie · « **Reply #20 on:** April 23, 2017, 04:40 »

@Mat,

I said that I have two questions but I have a third one too:

I don't see on my AS portfolio any kind of filters of sorting. Images are presented to the buyer in a single way, the layout that FT calls relevance. There is no possibility for the buyer to sort images by any other criteria like new or popular, whatever.
No sets, no filters, photos, videos, illustrations all mixed in a big mess.

I can't expect from a buyer who wants to buy videos to check all my pages one by one to find what he needs.
Why would he lose so much time when there are other agencies with a clearer interface?

These are the things that should be fixed first, more options for buyers are very important. Maybe you could mention these things to your superiors.

It's more than a year now, how long for AS to catch up with other agencies?

Sean Locke Photography · « **Reply #21 on:** April 23, 2017, 05:07 »

There's a "sort by" pull down at the top right. Recent, relevance, popularity, downloads and undiscovered. There's a filter box next to the search entry that drops a panel with all kinds of options. Not sure how you aren't seeing all that.

Dodie · « **Reply #22 on:** April 23, 2017, 07:45 »

Thank you Sean.
I see it on my contributor dashboard but that is not available for buyers.

I never use AS except when I want to check something, therefor I was searching the way I thought a buyer would do.
I'll tell you what I was doing and please tell me if I am not searching the right way.

So, search for a keyword like rose, or an image ID, click on any image in the result, then click on the contributor's name to go to his portfolio.

You will see the portfolio exactly as I described it earlier, no matter if signed in or not.

There probably are other ways to search but if I did it this way, it's possible others will do the same.

Am I doing something wrong? How else could a buyer search?

I'm used to any kind of websites, usability is the most important thing on a site. If the buyer can't navigate to his pleasing in a few seconds, he goes away.

There was one (or two) on Shutterstock, but he has been eaten by the shareholders…

Ah, I see what you're saying. There's a difference between this:
https://stock.adobe.com/search?creator_id=205335036
and this:
https://stock.adobe.com/contributor/205335036/seanlockephotography

I have the first bookmarked so that's what I always use. The second is what you get when you click a contributor's name. Yes, a search should always have the same interface available.

In other words, the site is useless for buyers. Now I know where my sales are. Thank you Sean.

Sean Locke Photography · « **Reply #26 on:** April 23, 2017, 09:39 »

Well, I have to imagine most buyers aren't trying to search through a single contributor's port trying to find a certain image or video.

Dodie · « **Reply #27 on:** April 23, 2017, 10:11 »

That's not what I meant either. I can imagine a buyer buying several images from the same contributor if more images are put in front of him like in a set/ lightbox (e.g. food).

Once I already searched for some of my images and I lost my patience and left the site for this reason. I thought they need more time to fix the site but..........it doesn't matter any more.

I've just given up on uploading via the Adobe interface and gone back to Fotolia. Two issues arise from my workflow:

1. Only the first part of the filename is visible. Where clips are visually similar I need to see the whole filename to identify which clip is which.

2. I enter keywords by cutting and pasting from Lightroom, which arranges them alphabetically. This is not a problem for any other agency than FT/Adobe which requires them in priority order. In the Adobe upload interface I can only move one keyword at a time so reordering is difficult and time consuming. At least with the FT upload interface I can select several separate keywords and move them all to the top in one operation.

For the moment at least I will stick with the FT upload interface.

I stick with FT too because of the keywording.

Lightroom put my keywords in alphabetical order which is fine with the other agencies.

I have all file names, titles, descriptions and keywords in a spreadsheed, where the keywords are arranged after importance. So when I upload to FT, I replace the title with the description, and the keywords with keywords in importance order, simply by copy/pasting from the spreadsheet.

The keyword part of it I can't get to work with Adobe Stock. The comma separated keywords don't get separated.

Justanotherphotographer · « **Reply #39 on:** May 01, 2017, 13:44 »

I asked on the other thread but as I know you are reading this one a question for Mat. As an emerald contributor how do I raise my file prices using the adobe interface?

cascoly · « **Reply #40 on:** May 01, 2017, 15:25 »

since most of us already have keywords in the IPTC, a better use for autokeywording would be to suggest ADDITIONAL keywords

but a MUCH more useful tool would be auto-categorizing, which is currently the slowest part of submitting (still faster than many sites)

This is great I've been a fan of Fotolia for 10 years with thousands of images. I see the port in my adobe account....but the uploader just does not seem to be working.

Default is "yes" for free section, it always was that way. It resets to "yes" each time. First thing I do when uploading is : select all images, turn off free images, deselect all.

If I remember correctly, only rejected images go to the free section if this option is set to "yes".

If you upload via Adobe Stock, there is no free section and any rejected images will not go to Fotolia's free section (although I thought that was removed anyway, but I'm not sure about that)

Hi Mat and others!

I have a similar story as Dodie:

“FT was my bestseller till mid last year but after AS overtook the agency, sales are dropping slowly but continuously, sinking to 30% earnings in 2017 compared to 2016.«

In general AS is my best agency, but lately (last 7 months) my revenue is decreasing.

I checked my month earnings at FT and made a graph showing the index of earnings (index) by months for the year 2015, 2016 and 2017. Until September 2016, my monthly earnings increased compared to the same month of the previous year. On Oct 2016 I sync my FT account to my AS and then my earnings are dropping slowly and continuously… Maybe this is a reason? I uploading new images mostly twice a week (whole year), my acceptance rate is about 80% and improving so I still hope that my earnings can be stabilized and started to increase.

All the best!

Same here. From April May 2016 things turned from a steady month on month improvement to a slow decline in sales volume with the occasional good month. It seems that there is too much tinkering to the search. I guess that maybe the influence of an ex SS employee. Oddly, SS has gone from strength to strength and is now over taking FT.

The extended license price is automatically set to the maximum possible price on Fotolia. If you are ranked silver or higher, your EL price is 100 credits. The standard license credits price is 1 for XS and goes up from there.

Thanks Mat great news. I see no reason to keep using the old FL upload process then, I will switch to going through Adobe ASAP.

I saw the post from the contributor about falling sales at Adobe so I thought I would plot my results. I have been seeing a steady increase from Adobe but this graph really shows it:

The rest of the analysis is on my blog as usual:
http://www.backyardsilver.com/2017/05/experience-adobe-stock/

I like the steady sales of what I think of as some of my better images, and I also like the way new files can been seen and picked up by buyers - much better than the experience on Shutterstock where if you miss being seen in the first few days, you might as well not exist!

Whatever Adobe Stock are doing - keep it up!

I'm not sure about others that noted dropping sales but I was over $1200 p/m (emerald) and now it's down to $1000. Your graph looks similar to what I had when I was at that earning point. I guess the problem is all relative and the only true way of seeing the impact (across all contributors) is to play around with the raw data. Not going to happen.

Hopefully it keeps on going for you and it doesn't run out of steam. I'd certainly be very happy if FT returned to how it used to be (for me).

You are half right. EPS vector uploads are temporarily disabled. You can upload AI vectors however. I'll be sure to post an update here in MSG once the EPS uploads are reactivated.

thanks,

Mat

Thank you for keeping us updated. Can you estimate how long it will take for the vector uploads to be back to normal? I am trying to decide if I should wait, or upload AI (which I prefer not to, except if it takes a long time to fix the issue).

Hello Mat and hello all!
I have an only suggestion regarding the Adobe Stock portfolio. I strongly need the search by ID inside the private area of my portfolio. This is a "MUST" when someone has a large portfolio and needs to make changes fast to any image. If I find an image which not sells well and I want to optimize keywords for example, I don't have many chances of search inside my portfolio, not all the times you can find fast an image ordering by Upload date, Sells or Visits. I can find it by ID only typing the ID inside the search box (but already I am in the buyer area) and, once found, I cannot edit it, at least you don't add an Edit button under the image which works when you are logged in. As Fotolia has: "This is one of your files, you can index it". Searching an image in order to modify the metadata can be frustrating and a waste of time!
I hope Adobe will resolve this issue as soon as possible because I'm not alone, I spoke with a lot of contributors and they need this search by ID too!

@zsoofija I don't have an eta at this time. I'll be sure to provide information when I have it.

I would like the option to turn of the autofill for keywords so that I can fill in keywords with a simple cut and paste in a blank box.
It sometimes brings up one i had not thought but right now the interface is really time consuming for me. I put my keywords in a list in the right order and then cut ans paste.
If there is an option to tun it off, then one can work for both groups.

I completely agree with you.

Thanks Matt, I will try the erase all.
I do not put keywords into meta data of images as part of usual workflow. Not all my photography is meant for stock/internet.

Is there a trick to updating keywords of old files on adobe stock? Because, if we change order of keywords, old ordering stays no matter what.

There is a bug on the Adobe site.
I have noticed this some month ago.
It is not always possible to edit the title and the keywords of some files.
The files that you cannot edit are files where the category has disappeared (how it has disappeared, this is a big question).
To see this you have to go on the Fotolia indexing page. If the category is missing put it back and save.
Then you would be able to manage your titles and keywords on the Adobe page.

Hi Mat,

Please tell us when are you going to fix the EUR/GBP rate at Adobe Stock? The rate is wrong for around 1 year already. Isn't it enough time to fix the rate?

eZeePics · « **Reply #79 on:** June 10, 2017, 09:20 »

Hello Mat, any news about the issue I have reported? Is really annoying that we cannot fast edit an image and we have to search one by one inside the portfolio in order to find it. Thanks,

Hi Mat,
It would be really great to have Payoneer on Fotolia/Adobe! Do you plan to add them as third payment option? If not why?
Thanks

This may have been requested before, but I would like to see some feedback on the dashboard after a credit conversion has been made. Something does show up right away, but then it seems to disappear. Something like "X credits have been requested for conversion."It's taking a few days for those credits to be paid out, so it would be nice to know it is in the works.

Mat,

In addition to my previous unanswered question I ask another one:

When will the EPS upload be fixed?
