Hello everyone,
We are pleased to announce that as of today, Extended Licenses for image files (photos, vectors and illustrations) are now available on Adobe Stock!
Extended licenses for images will be available on-demand on Adobe Stock for $79.99 and you will receive 33% commission of the USD sales price equating to 26.40 credits.
Thanks

Yes. That's good news. Thanks, Mat!
-
Good news, thank you!
-
Is there an opt in or out, or are all images automatically available?
EDIT: Never mind, went over and checked it out. Thanks!
-
Why only 33% ?
-
Excellent!
Tnx for sharing! 8)

Good news, thanks Mat

Hi Mat, any plans to introduce the Infinite collection to Adobe Stock?
Glad to hear extended licences are now available :-)
-
Some good news from a stock site - very nice!
I am on pace to have a BME on FT this month. I haven't submitted anything in more than a year so it is due entirely to better sales rather than portfolio growth - they are definitely doing something right. With growth at FT and Canva, and SS hanging in there, it almost makes me want to start uploading again.
Thanks for the info, Mat.

Thanks for the info Mat - it's good news.

Just got a sale from Adobe Stock netting me 16.50 credits (I'm an European contributor).
Is it an extended license sale?
-
How do you know, it's from adobe?
-
Actually I don't know for sure since the contributor interface doesn't differentiate between Fotolia sub sales and Adobe Stock sales. And this sale is reported the same way the usual Adobe Stock sales are reported.
Maybe Mat could provide some info what kind of sale this is?
I hope it is not an extended sale via Adobe Stock, because 16.50 credits/Euro would be a big pay cut compared to the Fotolia extended sales (I set my files to 100 credits extended price).
-
And how are the usual Adobe stock sales reported?
-
And how are the usual Adobe stock sales reported?
Same way as Fotolia subs. Based on the commission you can see that this was an Adobe Stock sale, e.g. 3.30 Credits for a single sale (33% of 10 credits price).
-
Well, 0.99, 0.66, 3.30 sales are from Adobe I think. But there's no way telling. Maybe it was DPC sale.

It could have been a DPC sale if I was on DPC :)

Mat, thanks for coming here and for looking into this!

Isn't it refreshing—not to mention reassuring—to have somebody from an agency come here to answer our questions and respond to our requests?
Impressive! ;D
-
I do want to say thanks to Mat for being professional and patient with the questions that come here! It means a lot to artist to see communication from the top and is reassuring of the future!

ecited, thank you, impressive... ;D
Yes they make PR (you call it support) in this forum. WOW!
They give us 33% commission and make millions.
Suggestion: Stop the "support" and pay a fair trade commission of 50%. 8)
For what should i say thank you?
No wonder that the agencies can make what they want with us...

Baby-steps in the right direction are still steps. Fotolia scores some brownie points with their communication. Expecting leading agencies to suddenly start paying a fair 50% is unrealistic, considering those of us that could have helped prevent that trend years ago, failed miserably at doing so.
Only way to send a message is to sacrifice the worst of the leading agencies. Easy choice. iStock. If enough contributors severed ties with those scumbags demanding they lower the 85% commissions they rape from your content or pull their ports. Shutterstock, etc. would eventually notice and things might start to change. Or else "they could be next". But no, here come the sad excuses. Change takes sacrifice boys and girls, personal and financial. But the result in the end would be well worth it. Can't take the hit all at once? Drop exclusivity, stop uploading, speak out more, take a few down at a time. Do something or admit defeat.
Every single one of you that still contribute to and defend iStock are responsible for extending the state we are in now. Every time the idea of a "union" or some kind of collaborative effort gets shot down by frightened, uneducated, voices that dismiss the idea before it begins, we ensure our future stays as is.
Even a small yet vocal, organized, focused group represented by a handful of trusted big time contributors would change the game for us. The naysayers overlook the power of a vocal minority and the fact that the "big corporate, faceless" overlords are scared to death of negative public sentiments and will placate to preserve reputation. Consider politicians, television networks, etc. We don't need more than a measurable enough percentage of content represented, with a loud, consolidated voice to start developing momentum to push back with.
Many are underestimating the power we'd yield with a simple coalition, and over-estimating the disadvantage of the lack of total participation and the quality of the new content that deliver those ridiculous high stats that scare you so much. Simple communication and clear, honest goals would keep the recruitment healthy.
Or just keep complaining to thin air while bending over repeating, "yes sir, may I have another"...

Extended licenses for images will be available on-demand on Adobe Stock for $79.99
Mat, Adobe is undercutting my 100 credits/EL, I'm always setting on FT.
Why asking only for $79.99, when I know that my stuff regularly sells for 100 credits on FT?
It will be highly appreciated if you could set the minimum price at $79.99 and allow higher FT prices to be copied to AS.
-
Mat, you shure are pleased. You are cutting me from 45% to 33%.

Had my first EL sale from FT a few days ago and I didn't notice it until today. It seems to be working.

FL has always offered ELs, do you mean Adobe?
Off topic, great to see you are reclaiming that word by the way.

Had first two EL sales last week from Adobe FT. Works great! 8)

I think it's FT. If they've always offered it, then it's my first EL ever on the site.
Which word are you referring to?
