When Adobe announced Adobe Firefly in March 2023, we shared that we are developing generative AI responsibly, with creators at the center.
In addition to your regular stock licensing revenue which covers Firefly training, we want to recognize your contributions through our second-ever Adobe Stock contributor bonus.
The 2024 bonus is based on photos, vectors, or illustrations approved between June 3, 2023, and June 2, 2024, as well as, for the first time, the all-time number of videos approved through June 2, 2024, and the number of licenses that all those assets generated in the same 12-month period.
A banner on the Insights>My Statistics tab in the Contributor portal provides the specific amount that was added to your account.
We plan to base potential subsequent bonuses on new approved assets and licenses they generate annually.
We have put together an FAQ here:

At least the AI is trained legally.
Still disappointing, because i am training my competition. :(
Payouts total (Contributor Bonus) / number of images online = 0.029 USD per image :'(
I am ranked around position 1500. Possible other photographers get more / less.
In my case i earn 0.45 USD per image each year. In the future i will lose these earnings for "0.029 USD" one-time-payment.
I do not know how to feel about.
"Payouts". 2x Payout for all my images. No video.At least the AI is trained legally.

this calculation is wrong,it would have been right if you only had video in your port,or at least it would have been a result closer to reality.
the second Firefly bonus is calculated on the new content uploaded from June 2023 to June 2024 and for the first time also videos,and on the sales that this new content has generated.
This choice was made,because in this way Firefly is trained based on customer choices,and i think also because it has a lower cost,since the bonus is calculated based on content that has already generated income.
"The 2024 bonus is based on photos,vectors,or illustrations approved between June 3,2023,and June 2,2024,as well as,for the first time,the all-time number of videos approved through June 2,2024,and the number of licenses that all those assets generated in the same 12-month period".
it's probably a misunderstanding that many have thought about,many believe that the bonus is based on all your content in your portfolio but this is not the case.
0.029 per image is incorrect.
but I think we all should now start dividing all the bonuses for all the years so we get to 0.0000001 per image in few years,and we could all feel better about doing this for sure,I'm very sure that all of us will feel much better after! :D
Bonus 2023 + Bonus 2024 = Payouts
Number of images / payouts = 0.029 USD
= All images used for training AI for 0.029 USD each.
What is not correct with that?
Think, if we calculate that the images are used not only today, but also in the next 10 years AND unlimited times, then yes, 0.0000001 USD could be correct. ;D
8000/ 5000 ? (if 8K videos uploaded 06/23 - 06/24)Bonus 2023 + Bonus 2024 = Payouts
Number of images / payouts = 0.029 USD
= All images used for training AI for 0.029 USD each.

I got over $5K with about 8K videos. How was my "bonus" calculated?

I got $1521 from approx. 1800 videos. I have been contributing to Adobe since 2018. For anyone who is interested in the technical details of how Adobe is using stills from videos to train AI image generation: https://petapixel.com/2024/08/22/adobe-researchs-impressive-new-ai-cut-and-paste-photo-editor-was-trained-on-videos/
When to expect money from Adobe for placing videos in the free collection?In the Discord I read something about 4-6 weeks review time for the FreeCollection pictures - probably it will be similar for the videos.
For the love of god, make the blue bar go away!

Aaargh! How long will we have to look at it blocking our balance?

They don't care. When Mat was here at least there was a chance he'd communicate to development, now nada.
For me even more annoying is "Select Period" in insights that constantly resets itself to last 3 months. I typically want to see since 1st of current month & constantly have to modify field. Remembering user preference would be super easy to support, but again they simply don't care.
