How do I get to see my weekly ranking?  I've changed the stats to weekly and monthly downloads but no ranking appears.  Am I missing something?

Go to dashboard - in left top corner you will see Time Frame dropdown menu - change to "This week".

Thanks.  I am 1810th this week with 209 downloads which is reasonable for my portfolio size.  Clearly there are still many artists making good downloads and money at Adobe.

Good Numbers!

May I ask how big your portfolio is?

5562

Mat, how will buying customers (and potential customers) find out about this new service?  Will Adobe make an announcement somehow, such as a newsletter?

There is an amazing team focused on marketing at Adobe. Stay tuned....

Haven't seen any marketing or announcement yet, or if there has been I've missed it.  PNG sales are happening but not at the rate of popularity I had hoped.  With the important Christmas/New Year period upon us, it would be good to see buying customers being informed about PNG files and how to find them.

Thanks very much for your help.  I downloaded and imported this years statements.  Only took a few minutes.  Still, Istock and Getty seem determined to make life as difficult and opaque as possible...

Good to hear, thank you.

Can you also submit images with inside transparency, like a beautifully decorated frame of fresh flowers, or food with a large transparency in the center of the image?

Like a frame?

Or Polaroid cut outs with empty spaces to drop your own fotos inside etc,,,,

Or does it always have to be a single object you can grab?

Cobalt, I have uploaded and had accepted PNG frame files like you describe.

I've downloaded DeepMeta to a new computer, logged in etc.  Portfolio has been idetified and added to DeepMeta.  However there is no sales history or sales statements.  Do I have to do something special to download these to DeepMeta?

Why all this negative criticism of Russia?  Don't you people know your history?  And don't you know what has been going on in Ukraine these past couple of years?  Do your research and don't believe anything you read in the press, and particularly the American press.

I am very excited about PNG files being available at Adobe given the great success with them at Canva.  When Mat made the anouncement I decided to upload all of my files over the course of three weeks or so (500 files).  Glad to see that were almost all accepted.  However as the service has not yet gone live I am becoming concerned that I have done the wrong thing and perhaps should have waited.  As the days go by I become concerned that my files will get lost in searches.  Hopefully that won't happen and fingers crossed the service goes live soon.  I am debating whether to delete and reupload once the thing goes live.

I'm uploading to Canva again after a break of a few months.  I used to be able to view all my uploads with details of acceptance, rejection etc but I can't find that facility now.  Has it gone, or am I missing something?

For new asset types, and the very case of the PNG launch that we're working on with you, a critical mass is needed across search queries in order to meet customer satisfaction.

I very much doubt that any form of critical mass can be achieved for PNG files at launch (I am referring to photos rather than illustrations).  In the twenty years of microstock none of the major agencies have accepted or sought PNG files so photographers won't have produced them and won't have a library for upload.  The exception is Canva who starting asking for PNG files a few years ago.  Some photographers (I am one of them) have spent time producing PNG files for Canva and have met with great success.  However I imagine that the number of artists producing these is quite small.

I think this is a case of starting small and growing rather than looking for critical mass on day one.  Customers will understand that sometimes new ideas take a while to get going.  Now that the cat is out of the bag (Shutterstock and Istock read these forums) what's important is that Adobe hits the ground running and gets the service off the ground even if the initial supply is modest.

Opted out.

I use the file info service in photoshop.  Unlike Bridge it keeps words in priority order and allows a template to be saved so that all info can be applied to images from a particular shoot.  I don't use Lightroom so can't comment on that.

I'm happy to participate with the full allocation of files accepted by Adobe.  My experience of Adobe over the last few years is that they have been one of the fairest and most professional of agencies.  I'm happy to go with their judgement.
