We are happy to announce the Adobe Stock Contributor Site https://contributor.stock.adobe.com, a new platform that allows you to upload and sell your photos, illustrations, videos and vectors to the world's largest creative community. Our goal was to design a portal that makes it easy and fast to upload, index and submit your content. You can upload as many images as you want at once and the new auto-keyword feature is a time-saving tool that generates the first five keywords of each image you submit. Of course these can be modified, re-ordered and replaced as you desire.

You'll also have the ability to upload images to Adobe Stock directly from Lightroom CC and Bridge CC. Our goal is to open the feature to more content types and to integrate into more CC applications soon.

Check out our Contributor tutorial page for instructions how to use the new site and how to create successful stock photos, vectors and videos.

What does the new Adobe Stock Contributor Portal mean for existing Fotolia contributors?

If you are an existing Fotolia contributor, you can continue to upload and submit your content through Fotolia – there's no change. Your content will be featured on both Fotolia and Adobe Stock and is available to the word's largest creative community.

Interested to try the new Adobe Stock Contributor Site? By all means, go ahead! When you sign in for the first time you will be prompted to sync your Adobe ID with your Fotolia account. If your email address is the same for both, we will do this automatically. Syncing with your Fotolia account means that your Fotolia portfolio and rank will be available in the Adobe Stock Contributor portal. There's no impact to your Fotolia account, you can continue to log in on Fotolia with your credentials as before.

We strongly recommend to sync your accounts, which is only available on your initial login. You will not have the option to do it at a later time.

I know this is off topic, but did Fotolia stop reviewing files? I still have images awaiting moderation from February. Sorry for being off topic. Congrats on the launch.

@cthoman, no we didn't stop reviewing files. Send me an email with your account information and I will be happy to take a look for you to see what is going on.

Do those of us that Fotolia banned have the option to open an Adobe Stock account or are we still unwelcome?

Good news! What about editorials? Finally?

Synced. Worked quickly.
Uploaded one image to test the interface.
First impression - interface ok but to update the order of keywords i would prefer to have a miltiline field with possibility to drag&drop keywords inside and to see all keywords in the same time. No scrolling, which takes a lot of time. This is for desktop, for mobile devices this part will depend from screen size of course. Anyway, and this too can be automated because you have statistics. User can update a little. Can be an optional function to be enabled/disabled by user.
For now i gave up to drag/drop/scroll - it takes too much time.
Categories - why not to give one default category? From Adobe or selected by user?

On the Adobe Stock page it seems that I cannot login with my fotolia login, but only with my Adobe one.
If I login with my Fotolia data I get a message "The Adobe ID and password do not match. Please try again."

And my email address is the same for Adobe and Fotolia, but I don't see the accounts synced.

It would be simpler if you put a "Sync with Fotolia" button.

May be you sync your e-mails and after sometime try again?

Yes, the email address is the same.
But I don't see any sign that the accounts are synchronized.

The FAQ says:
"When you sign into the Contributor portal for the first time, you'll be asked if you are registered as a contributor on the Fotolia site. If so, you will need to enter your Fotolia login and sync your accounts."

When I signed into the contributor page I have not been asked if I am registered as a contributor on the Fotolia site.

Glitch? In my case all worked immediately. Try to contact support.

Probably a glitch. Now when I click on the "Sign In" button nothing happens, absolutely nothing...

Dumc

For me, it was automated process, when I logged in to Adobe with my Fotolia contributor login/password, Adobe automatically recognized that I have account with Fotolia and synced very quickly, within seconds....

Dumc

It looks like that now, when I have a sale, I get e-mail from "Adobe stock". Or does that means, that my files were sold through Adobe stock?

Eco

Not working for me. When I tried to login with my Fotolia password I received an error message: "The password is too short".

Maybe I'm missing something. As a Fotolia contributor is there any advantage or benefit to also signing up with the Adobe site and synching my two accounts? My Fotolia uploads are mirrored on Adobe anyway so why would I do that? The only reason I can see is that some might find the Adobe upload interface better or easier to use but other than that there is no reason to sign up. Right?
On a seperate note, dissapointing to see that editorial images are still excluded. I had hoped that Scott (Braut) would have seen this as a priority given that FT/Adobe is the only major agency not to offer editorial images.

Maybe it is a way for Adobe to "collect" more data about us...
(Then they will sell this data to NSA to get some pocket money)

Long ago I created account somewhere at Adobe site. Now I used that old email and password and it worked, I was logged in and prompted for sync with Fotolia. If you don't have Adobe account, create new on contributors.stock.adobe.com. Then log in. Be sure, that you are logging in contributors page.

This is what I was wondering.  Is there any reason not to just keep submitting through the Fotolia interface?

stockVid

If we are already submitting to Fotolia what's the point?

Unless Adobe is going to eventually close Fotolia.

jjneff

Can you expand on "Selling Preferences" and price setting?

Justanotherphotographer

Yes please let us know if there is any advantage to doing this, I am happy with the way Fotolia  uploads sit in my workflow right now.
