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

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?

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.

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

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?

Probably around September.

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 can�t 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 customer�s 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!

Dunc, what i read from Matt is: Sorry you are not in the list!!! this is why you don�t see adobestock

Matt i�m wrong??? my portfolio is in adobe stock, peruvian contributor portfolio are there? if is there, i will be able to see my portfolio in adobe stock?, cause i can�t see the website, and my portfolio too? in my fotolia portfolio i don�t know if sales come from adobestock... i dont like this situation at all!!!

Matt waiting your answer!!!!

@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.

by the way, is very easy make me happy, Matt you know what you have to do 

make adobe stock worldwide!!! i know you can
