Title: Illustrative Editorial Submissions expanded to Gold rank
Post by: MatHayward on September 05, 2019, 11:58
Hi Everyone,

The initial launch of Illustrative Editorial submissions has been a great success. I am pleased to inform you that we have increased the access to submit to Adobe Artists ranked at Gold (10,000) downloads and above. If you qualify you should see the Illustrative Editorial check box in your indexing page.

More details can be read here: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/illustrative-editorial-content.html

I look forward to seeing your submissions!

Mat Hayward

As a reminder, you can check your rank at the bottom of the Contributor Account section in the Adobe Stock contributor portal.

If you are not ranked Gold or above but have an extensive collection of Illustrative Editorial content online at other agencies you may write to us via the the contact us link at the bottom of the contributor portal with a link to your portfolio for consideration of advanced access.

Yes, sounds like things are going well! Looking forward to when Editorial will be expanded to allow incidental unreleased people.

Thanks for the update Mat. I have a few editorial images with street scenes or beaches where there are people in the background. This is an example:

It's not focusing on a person, but there are unreleased people. Is this allowed or not? I did read the information page, but the one disallowed example just showed one highly visible (though out of focus) person, so I wasn't sure.

No, unfortunately we wouldn't be able to accept that shot because of the recognizable people. The disallowed example was a shot I took of my Daughter to illustrate that even though she is out of focus she would still be considered recognizable and the image can't be approved at Adobe Stock.

How many downloads is Gold?

How many downloads is Gold?

Gold rank is 10,000 downloads. To the  previous question yes, Fotolia rank is Adobe Stock rank for this bonus.

Thanks, Mat, nearly 3/4 of the way so I'll soon be eligible, (I hope).

Mat - nobody seems to be asking the obvious question, so I will. Is Illustrative Editorial (with no recognisable people) the full extent to which Adobe is going to allow editorial images? Many of us were hoping for editorial on Fotolia/Adobe for a long time but were thinking of parades/street scenes/music festivals etc (all with plenty of unreleased people in them) which many other agencies accept. Is this something we can expect in the future? Kind regards, David.

I couldn't say. Right now it's only Illustrative Editorial.

Thanks,

Title: Face detection
Post by: Danybot on September 17, 2019, 20:49
It looks like face detection software has been implemented.  I uploaded a photo with a crowd of people with their backs to the camera.  There was one person I hadn't noticed in the corner who was facing the camera.  The system flagged it right away.

Yes, correct. If there is what the system determines to be a person in the system with no release attached you should receive a popup warning asking you to confirm your intent to submit without a release.

Mat, I noticed that the checkbox is not active for videos.
Are there any plans to expand the editorial program to videos?

Not that I am aware of at this time. MSG will be the first place I announce if/when that does happen.

Mat, what's an "extensive" collection of editorial photos? 1000 or more illustrative editorial?

We have expanded access to Silver ranked contributors now (1,000 downloads or more). The number of downloads you have had can be seen at the very top of the dashboard page in the Adobe Stock Contributor portal.

Kind regards,
