Great news. I knew that it would be available for Silver sooner than I would have reached Gold :-)

Same here! 

However, I doubt I'll do much Illustrative Editorial. It's just not my thing.

Thank you Mat, great news! I'm looking forward for the footage too!

.....and to lift the restriction on unreleased people!...but I am not complaining.

great news Matt!

I had some questions from the readers of my blog about what exactly an illustrative editorial image is. I've just tried to explain that in a new post and outlined how successful the first two months of my experience with this new usage type has been with Adobe Stock:

Hope it is helpful for those interested in submitting such shots to Adobe.

How do you find your editorial sales on Adobestock vs. Shutterstock?

That is really hard to answer. I have many more at SS because they take all sorts of editorial, and also I have no way in Microstockr Pro to split out editorial shots. I did this analysis of Adobe by eye - looking at each image that sold and deciding if it was editorial or not.

No way I can do that for SS.

To a large extent, it doesn't matter - I put all files with all agencies that will take them and use Stock Submitter to do that. So the cost of putting a file on an agency is zero so I do it. Relative sales of different types of image then are "interesting" but not "important"

any information on next phase of availability?

Not at this time, I expect it will remain with the silver rank and above for a while. If you have an established portfolio of Illustrative Editorial you can submit your portfolio via the contact us link found at the bottom of the Adobe Stock Contributor portal for consideration.

I sent editorial images with trademark and without recognizable people, some were accepted and others refused for reason "File is not illustrative editorial". I have normally resubmitted these same images and they have been refused for "violation of the Intellectual Property Code". I sent a message to support explaining the problem to them and here is their response:

"Thank you for contacting us. Currently, we are not accepting editorial submissions from individual contributors. This is by invitation only.

Unless you have been invited by our Editorial team to submit these type of files, you won't be able to sell them through our site for now.

If you have any questions, or to update your case, simply respond to this email. "

thanks.  Don't have the availability to create portfolio at this time.  was curious, and more if it was worth creating AS versions of Illustrative Editorial specific at time being, and i guess you are saying no.
