Title: Property releases for illustrations
Post by: NoNameIsGood on January 09, 2022, 14:48
I get messages that I need to upload property releases for illustrations in Adobe. They are made out of photos that don't requere any release. Odd. Is there any way to quickly fill those releases? Or a way to sign them digitally?

With images of illustrations or scanned artwork, the moderation team needs to confirm that you are the copyright owner of the illustration in your image. This is to ensure you didn't scan an illustration from a book or snap a photo of a painting on a wall at a coffee shop or in a museum or anything like that.

Assuming you are the original artist, you will need to sign the release as both the property owner and the contributor.

You can generate an Adobe Sign property release from inside the contributor portal. This is likely your fastest option. I created a short video to show you how to generate an Adobe Sign property release, if interested, you can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxRg0yg-sJQ&t=5s (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxRg0yg-sJQ&t=5s)

Thanks,

What's odd about it?

It does feel kind of funny making out a release to yourself to prove that you didn't steal something from yourself and use it without your permission.

Just remember that it's part of how Adobe makes sure somebody else doesn't do that.

I find Mat's speedy information commendable. Other agencies seem to have run out of staff to provide such support to contributors.

Thank you, Mat!
