Great news!  I look forward to seeing a rise in sales on FT (thanks to AS).

I totally agree though with what alot of you have been saying regarding the fact that FT need to consider accepting Editorial images.  Editorial images are a big big seller for me through SS and FT really do need to consider 'tapping' into this.

Haven't had a single sale to tip me over to silver in 9 days! Unusual.

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

a legal wasp nest they don't want to get in to. Too much cost involved to train reviewers and review editorial images. Same goes for CanStockPhoto

Could be it. Thanks.

Editorial on fotolia will be a good step.

As of now, is fotolia Adobe stock? Or will they partner with other players as well

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.

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?

Maybe. But smaller sites like 123RF, DepositPhotos and Dreams time seem to manage it. It would seem to me that if Fotolia is serious about taking on Shutterstock and Getty, then they need to step it up and get into editorial.

From the outside, the FT and AS "Dream Team" looks a whole lot more competitive and this will worry SS - adding editorial images to their repetoire will surely have SS quaking in their boots.

mmmmm you make me smile, but, i´m don´t kidding!

how many countries can´t buy from adobe stock right now? think about it! adobe make this big release but don´t work for everybody! ok in US work but what happend with all adobe users around the world?

they will continue to roll it out in other markets, just give it time

they had to do the bigger markets rollouts first - the rest will follow

Shurely shome mishtake:

I went to update my Adobe apps and got a message that I'd save 40% by purchasing stock via Adobe Stock.


Then when I clicked on Add Adobe Stock, suddenly the offer changed to a reduction of 33%:

Classic bait-and-switch.

I decided to compare with what the Fotolia prices are. It seems I'm entitled to a 20% discount at Ft, but the original prics are there too, scored out:

Can someone please explain to me how the Adobe price is 40%, or even 33%, off the Fotolia price?

The annual plan is 33% off the monthly plan.  The monthly plan can't seriously be called a subscription but they do.

Can't you get an annual plan directly from Ft? I couldn't find it.


And what's the 40%, which wasn't qualified in any way on the first screenshot?

Fotolia has a very complex system for pricing with what seems like hundreds of options, I think they'll simplify it and then slowly phase Fotolia out.

40% is 33% rounded up. 

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.

Matt, we need you comments, please.

That's not so weird. We aren't selling Adobe CC, we're selling images. And we're guaranteed a price floor.

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

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.
