Don't care, continue using a witness. And best if is real witness.

Matt, can you look into whether or not Adobe will accept the new iStock model releases that don't require a witness?

Thanks!

I really don't understand, where is the problem finding a witness? Taking good photos for micro is for sure much more difficult than find a witness :)

Yes, we will accept the release. If the model is 18 years old, or older, we no longer require a witness on the release at Adobe Stock.

Thanks,

Wow that's great news. I won't have to find someone at home to witness that I took a selfie.  ;D That always seemed terribly silly to require that. And I mean all the agencies, not just Adobe.

I wouldn't have expected the new release to be acceptable at other sites so fast. This is a good change.

Not yet - I requested late on Jan 31. They say it's typically 7 business days, which would have been yesterday. But I know Adobe's good for the money :)

Edited to add: I just received my payment (PayPal) - Thursday afternoon PST
