Hi Everyone,

At this moment, we are making upfront payments for the 3rd wave of selections for the Free collection from the images you had previously nominated. If any of your images are selected for this wave, you will see your balance go up automatically within the next couple of hours. We will be sending you an email in the next day or so with the number of files approved and the amount of credits added to your account balance. 

We are handling this 3rd wave differently than the previous 2. The selected files will remain in your paid portfolio for a short period of time yet to be determined. We are paying for the use in advance to simplify the process on our end when transferring images into the free collection. As always, we are closely watching the collection to determine what, if any impact there may be on the paid collection. By paying in advance, we can move the images at the appropriate time in a more seamless manner.

It is worth noting that the 12 month period in which your nominated assets are available for the Free collection begins the moment the payment is added to your account.

Thank you,

Mat Hayward

Thanks Mat... that'll explain that unexplained largish payment then 

Cheers!

Sweeeeet.  That will help pay for my supply of pumpkin spice lattes.  Thanks!

The price of pumpkins in your area must be very expensive 

That was such a nice surprise today. Thank you!

I just spotted that. Wow! Very happy with this last round.

Thank you, Mat and Adobe.

I think most/many of us understood. We do have Starbucks in Santa Fe, too.

my favorite little Indian grocery is near the 'original' starbucks in Pike Place market, so i usually have to push thru the waiting lines

Wow, thanks, the third wave is quite nice for me!

  WOW. Woke up and notice my 3 average months earnings from Adobe in this wave. Very good day. Thank you Adobe.

Love it. Any reason the money cannot be withdrawn?

I put in a request to withdraw mine at the end of August. It hasn't come through to my bank yet, but the process seems to be normal. Nothing indicated that I couldn't withdraw it right away.

I requested payment today

@LissiC, if you already have a payment request pending in the queue, you can't submit an additional request until it has been processed. There are three other scenarios that come to mind. One, if you haven't had your first sale in the account beyond 45 days. Two, if you do not have a valid tax form on file. Three, if your balance has not reached the minimum payment amount of $25.

If none of those scenarios apply, please submit a ticket via the contact us link at the bottom of the contributor portal.

Kind regards,

Mat

Hey Mat, is this a one time thing or will you ask for more later? I missed it!

Are you asking about the window of time to nominate images to be eligible for the Free collection? If so, I am not aware of any upcoming nomination openings.

Thank You, God!
Enough damage already!

It's been a week now since I was told how many of my images were being added to this latest round of selections for the Free Collection. Whilst the appropriate amount has been credited to my account  I am still not able to identify which of my images are involved.
I was wondering if this is generally the case and, if so, does anyone know when our portfolios will be updated with the info ? Thanks
