Title: Editorial Use Only - Can we expect it?
Post by: MircoV on May 04, 2016, 13:34
Hello Fotolia and contributors.

Editorial Use Only images are doing very well in Microstock and sales are only increasing. More and more agencies are adding the editorial use only category. Dont you think it is time for Fotolia to introduce it? It is one thing in my wishlist.....  :D :D :D

Is there somewhere maybe any clue or plan about it?

I was wondering about that too, but I guess Adobe's strategy with Fotolia might be to primarily cater to huge user base of their Creative Suite, which are probably mostly artists, photographers, graphic designers, etc. As such, they might see that they do not really have to have editorials in their collection, because the presumption is that editorials are mostly needed for news and big media. I am only speculating though.

Yes, Fotolia really needs to add this. I sell almost as much editorial content as I do commercial.

I sell more editorial and really enjoy it.  I will be very happy if FT decides it fits their business model.
