Fantastic news.

Hooray!!!!   

Adobe's entry into stock may or may not be the best thing since sliced bread. However, by forcing FT to get rid of DPC, which many of us tried to do a while back, it's looking pretty darn good.

Back then, I pulled my entire portfolio from FT in protest of DPC. But now that Adobe is in charge, I've reestablished my account and am uploading again. Not only are they accepting almost everything I send them, but my first images up on the new Adobe Stock site are selling better than they ever did on the old FT.

Somehow, the world seems a better place.

Good news at last, just need the 90% drop in sales since Adobe to reverse.

This is a very positive development!  So far Adobe is doing everything right.

  I would like to see increased saled numbers tho.  So far I lost SS sales and IS sales but no corresponding jump at FT.

Yeaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!

I'm hoping to get my entire microstock portfolio up on Fotolia. The Adobe takeover seems positive and getting rid of DPC certainly seems like another step in the right direction.

The next step should be to let European contributors get paid in euros rather than forcing you to stay in dollars just because you clicked the wrong link years ago. Grrrrr

The next step should be to get rid of the destructive cobweb management who is making these piss poor decisions. 

Fotolia made it harder and harder for me to increase earnings with their site and then my downloads fell off a cliff.  That was so demotivating that I stopped uploading.  Nothing has changed since Adobe took over, I still see no incentive to upload new images when my earnings are so low.  Doesn't really matter who owns the site when I can't make much money there, I hope they do something to improve the situation, it can't really get any worse than it is now.

Thats the thing, i upload many new images but i was nailed at a fixed income. This year with a decrease of 25%. I cannot make images for that money. I will not upload images, too. I have heard from another contributor, his income was a little bit better,  a year after he don�t upload more images...

Yes, that drives me crazy.  Somehow I got signed up to be paid in British pounds, even though I am in the US and signed up on the US site - no idea how that happened.  I've asked them several times if it can be changed to dollars and they say it is impossible, even though it should be a very simple programming switch.  So now I have more and more British pounds stacking up in my PayPal account every year.  At some point I'll have to buy something from Britain or pay the PayPal conversion fee.  Very annoying and I don't understand why they can't fix a simple thing like that.

At least closing DPC is a positive step - I wish they would solve the currency issue next.

I've been lucky so far but I probably shouldn't leave as much in there as I do - I'll be really annoyed if I lose it because of not transferring it out fast enough.  I should probably bite the bullet and pay the conversion fee.  Thanks for the reminder.

This. So much this. Just because I signed up for a $ account shouldn't make it impossible to change, especially since they have all my European info on file for tax purposes anyway.
