Hello everyone!
I just recieved 1.9$ in my account and the email says ADAGP Collective Licensing Payback 2023. Is it something different than my regular payments? Not sure why small amount is being paid to me and against what?

Thank you!

You can sell the copyright to your images to someone else.

Thank you for quick reply. I am now trying to find a place where I offer my portfolio. Please suggest some

A nice bonus all of suden and I immediately withdrawl that gift.. I hope it won't be reversed 

Any minute now an armored van will pull up in front of my house and bring me a bag of money from Adobe, lol... 

I just wish to get it all in one go without armored van, I will pick it myself but I need them altogether...

@Matt

Please answer my question very clear. I've 550 images nominated, will I get the payment for these in 1 go or it will be paid partially?

I'm not Mat, but he already has made what happens clear. Adobe Stock will make decisions on your nominations, so they could accept 0 to 550 of of them. When they decide you get credited and they will be deciding in more than one intake between June 23 and Sept 30

Thank you so much for your reply. I hope they will accept all assets at once instead of partial payments.

So the protest from video content creators worked here is an update SS just shared about levels:

Same issue here. What is more concerning is that they are not showing in a regular search by keywords. I contacted them a few days ago and then received an email saying that my case was closed and resolved but it is not, my files are still nowhere to be found. Since then I had new files approved with the same result.
I already had this happened to me some months ago. Since then I always check that all my newly approved files are indexed in their database. But everything seemed to work fine recently until the last one or twee weeks.
Hope they fix that quickly because it is really frustrating. And the longer it takes for them to index your 'lost' files, the more buried they are by new content when doing a search sorted by most recent.

Thank you for reply, can you share the support email ID so I can send them a reminder as well?

There were a number of licenses from one of our distribution partners, Canva, that were refunded on the August 2019 royalty statements and then re‑reported at a corrected amount.

There were two reasons for this:
Some Canva licenses of Essentials images were reported using the incorrect currency (USD instead of AUD). These were initially reported on the June 2019 statement, and corrected on the August 2019 statement.

Throughout 2018 to July 2019, a number of other Canva licenses were reported incorrectly to us at double the actual revenue. This resulted in an over‑payment of royalties to contributors. These were corrected on the August 2019 statement.
In both examples, contributors impacted by this would see the original license removed and the correct re‑license amount reported, which will be lower than the original license. All refunds appear in red on the royalty statement.

If you are seeing a number of refunds associated to Canva, we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and for not notifying you in advance. We�re looking at our processes to try to ensure we can avoid this kind of issue in the future.

Same here in Pakistan. 

Hi Everyone!
I've just noticed that SS have changed their Most Popular tab back to Relevant. How do you think this will impact on sales. We were getting used to this change but they've reversed that changed just now.

Your inputs will be helpful for newbies like to understand the impact of this change.

Hi All,
I am not able to open SS website since last 1 hour and it gives this error "406 Not Acceptable"

Anyone else having the same issue?

Yes you heard that correct, here we are working day and night for years to produce stock photos and shutterstock security is so week that you can download the image on this website by giving original image URL:

Is there any way to stop this nonsense?

The first thing that would help is if people would stop posting actual links to the offending site. You are just helping them! 

I posted this link only here to professional stock photographers but they do have a chrome extension as well and I am sure many are using it already.

This has come up many, many times. SS seems to not care about closing these loopholes.

But this is definitely costing us photographer a lot. People familiar with these sites don't bother buying the images because 100px image is more than enough for them to use on website or even in printing
