That sounds good. I will say I hope pricing and royalties become more simplified, PLEASE 😊

So, customers get a big discount when buying images if they pay a monthly fee to Adobe C.C. ... but photographer's don't get nothing of this monthly fee.

As I understand it we (contributors) get nothing of that discount (in terms of reduced royalty rates).
Which is fine.
I never expected to get a share of Adobe's monthly fee for their software.
If they promote their new stock offering by reducing fees for existing CC subscribers (without making us pay for their marketing efforts like most of the other micros do - when e.g. IS give customers rebates contributors received reduced royalties) I don't see anything negative about that.

They seem to be doing everything right from a contributers POV

Isn't it deceitful when they say on the first page you'll get a 40% discount but on the next page it's already down to 33%? And the 33% turns out to be a normal discount everyone gets?
If they are dishonest to potential buyers (I'm not a stock buyer, but if I were looking to buy anything online and that sort of scam happened, I'd be out of that site and never go back),  there's a good chance they'll be duplicitous towards suppliers too.

Maybe I need to hold off for a minute before I go down on my knees to ask for my return to FT   ;)

I think you can hold off on that for a while - so far I haven't seen any uptick in sales.  What about everyone else?  Have sales increased significantly since this change?

I had higher number of sales this week then the previous two weeks before the Adobe stock announcment, also had one EL sale today. But I can't tell if it's just a good week or it's Adobe thing.

Also have one question: Does everybody raise their EL price to the maximum? I have a possiblitiy now to raise price of all photos to 100 credits. For some of the photos I did that (luckily also for the one I sold EL today), but most are still set to 30 credits.

I always set EL prices to the maximum possible. They are quite rare at FT anyways, so at least you'll get something when you sell one. I experimented with lower prices a while ago, made no difference in EL sale numbers.

I don't think there will be much of an uptick until the real buyers' subscriptions end elsewhere.  But, when is that - month end?  Year end?

Not yet.  Bit of a decline.  But I'm not discouraged.   Maybe it will take some time to change buyers habits.

And time for CC users to merge it into their existing workflow.

Probably around September.

No increase here. Still the same pitiful amount of sales!

Hi All,

I'm sorry for the delayed response. The weekend was pretty busy for me in my personal life. On that note, Happy belated Father's Day to all you Dads out there!

Here are the questions I believe were unanswered. Let me know if I missed anything and as always feel free to email me directly if you would like:
[email protected]

Wonder what the hangup on editorial Is?...mat?

@Rinderart we are constantly considering the best ways to improve the product based on client and contributors feedback and needs.
 
Matt, found on other forums that Adobe does massive give away of imagery to attract new clients. Here msg members can comment on this, because i am not a new user. For all of us it will be interesting to know that Fotolia and Adobe will keep guarantees of user setting, for example: no free, no exclusive. You answered that you forwarded this to the team, but now this question about give away arrives regarding Adobe itself. Any progress on this? Please comment.
 
@Skyfish if a license is issued on your image, you will be paid a commission. That commission will never be less than the minimum guarantee.
 

Matt, one more question, i live in Lima, Peru, from here i cant see adobe stock website, why i not avaible in my country? in which countrys is avaible? and when i can see adobe stock website?

 
@Ana currently Adobe Stock is available in 42 regions. The market will continue to expand. The list of countries can be seen at stock.adobe.com by clicking the change region link in the lower left corner of the screen.
 
 
Does clicking the stock tab on your creative cloud app pull up the search and such?

@DallasP a good source of information on how to use Adobe Stock from a customers perspective can be found here: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/help/using-adobe-stock.html
 
So, customers get a big discount when buying images if they pay a monthly fee to Adobe C.C. ... but photographer's don't get nothing of this monthly fee.
 
@Loop contributors are paid 33% of the amount paid. This amount is never less than the minimum guarantee which is based on your rank.

Thank you for your questions, keep them coming if you have more!

-Mat Hayward

Poor girl.

Dumc, are you trying to be funny????

think how many sales you're losing because your portfolio is not enabled worldwide and only in some countries, believe it or not Peru and a lot of countries that arent in the list has a large market of designers who would be happy to buy images from your portfolio in adobe stock!!!! Here we all lose!!!

@Ana, I'm sorry that you are unhappy. As mentioned, we will be expanding the marketplace as quickly as we can. Your entire Fotolia portfolio is automatically added to Adobe Stock so you will still be receiving sales from the site. The sales are not differentiated in your Fotolia statistics for anyone at this time.

ana, they just opened this week...in 42 countries...have a little patience...:) they will certainly come to your country in time. adobe wants your customers money...

all kinds of online stores do a  gradual roll out, amazon,ebay,itunes...they all launch online products gradually.

Thank you Mat, for being here. It is great to hear that adobe will always pay us at least a minimal commission when they give files to clients for free in test phases or promotions. I really appreciate that very much, I have had such bad experiences with "promotional uses" before at other places.
