We have decided to offer only two price categories from this day forward in order to provide our customers with an easier and more streamlined purchasing experience. The two remaining price categories will be "Microstock" and "Premium", the category "Standard" no longer exists. It wasn't popular with our customers and never really caught on.
As a consequence of this we changed all photos with price category "Standard" to "Microstock". If you want to change that setting, please go to the "Manage Pictures" page and change the setting to "Premium". Please only use the Premium categ

How do i activate the code i received? Apologies for the late announcement!
This year besides the traditional New Year discounts we've added an extra bonus: every time you purchase a subscription to any of our services or top up your account balance you receive a gift for every 10 EUR spent. Gifts can contain promo codes for up to 100 EUR, free yearly subscriptions on any plan or free M+ Video Trends subscriptions. We wish you best of luck with the gifts!
Traditional discounts are up to 40% on 1-year packages and up to 50% on 2-year packages (compared to the full price of month-to-month subscription for the same duration) and they are already included in the prices.
So, if you were thinking of purchasing a subscription - now is the best time to do so!
The promotion will be active until 14th January.

Hi Dennis thanks for your response. I always get the sense that the moderators just blindly reject any blurred (even when it's intentional) i've had a couple of blurred ones that are excellent backgrounds rejected. This image of mine is a constant seller on other platforms but was rejected on Adobe https://www.istockphoto.com/za/photo/blurred-photo-of-fans-cheering-during-cricket-match-gm1141350038-305737204 and yes i understand that certain agencies chooses certain images so the expectation cant be the same for all. As always, it depends on the image or video clip and what story (if any) it is telling. And, to be honest, moderators are looking at thousands of assets every day and so like any agency we don't always get it 100% correct all of the time. Wish I could say otherwise, but that's the truth.
For video, I have challenges in trying to get moderators to differentiate between a good rack focus and being out of focus. And some wandering focus can be okay if it's done well. Sigh, there's never any perfect method, but we're working on improving guidelines and continually train our moderators on what's appropriate to accept.
Dennis

I just got my royalties for these two images used in this ad, from what i read it was used in a full page ad in New York Times. The royalties received was 12.50 each with the agency that's submitting to Getty taking 12,50 (50/50 split) i know the NY Times got a pretty large print run i would have thought the price would be more? https://www.theaftd.org/new-aftd-awareness-ad-to-appear-in-oct-20-new-york-times/

I think Adobe Stock is showing great promise, in all the negatives we experiencing in the stock world the agency seems like the bright spark. Contributors are essentially left out, as agencies drive to sign up more clients with cuts being felt by contributors. The biggest winners are agencies and clients with the drive for unlimited subscriptions.

Hi Mat I received a quote last year December Ive not used it yet and tried this morning but it told me its expired. Ive never used the code before. Maybe I'm being too impatient but I wanted to ask. I had my last batch of images accepted over a week ago and now have over the 300 required images accepted for 2019. I haven't heard anything from Adobe yet so I was wondering if I need to just be patient and wait longer or if there's anything additional that I need to do.
Thanks!
Bonus codes are sent out in waves and are not issued immediately when you reach the threshold. If you met the requirement, we'll send you a code shortly.
Kind regards,
Mat Hayward

Yes this seems like a get rich quick scheme for the owner of the site. Realistically its all about the owners and not the contributors. I tried to upload some photos to them, because they contacted me on IG. But you don't have any account or stats.. you have to rely on them emailing you if get a sale.. and I wouldn't trust that. Haven't had one email and my photos are on the first page of some of the search results. To me the owner(s) feels like someone trying to get som fast money for themselves by cheating on the contributors, after watching some videos and interviews about the site.

I just got a response from Alamy, "Our contributors are responsible for the content they supply to us and it is their responsibility to ensure any keywords, captions and other accompanying information related to their images are accurate. As you are aware these images have been supplied to us by EyeEm. As you have an agreement with them and the images may be available through other platforms they will be best placed to address the issue so please reach out to them directly to resolve this issue. This will ensure that the relevant credit is provided on Alamy as well as any other platforms which the images have been made available to." I would prefer it to show under Eyeem than a individual who is not the photographer. Me too, I had the same thing.
I contacted EyeEm and they responded it will take some time for the change to appear.
Maybe they initially submit our pics to partners under one EyeEm name and when the process concludes this changes and credits back to our details.
I am still waiting to see when the change happens with my name attributed to my image.

It seems the photographer is someone from Eyeem, they might have submitted the images under that persons name but it doesnt sound right I found this image on eyeem https://www.alamy.com/sam-jam-session-2017-image269818639.html and just found another one with some other photographers name under the listed name of photographer?
Contact Alamy immediately.

I can definitely see Adobe is growing. We need that one agency that treat contributors fair and that one will see the most growth. I feel at the moment a lot of agencies are playing with contributors share of the revenue in making silly deals like unlimited downloads for x amount.

Lots of 4 and 5 cent subs.

Thanks for that info. Derby: usually the credit ones are not that bad hahaha compared to the "istock subs"
Rushay: https://esp.gettyimages.com/ --> content statistics ---> performance --> downloads --> click on the "+" for each picture to know the details
ShadySue: that was truth for me but in SS

You can see now in the app and esp which pictures were sold. No statement yet but since you can see how many are subs, getty and credits, you can make a wild guess :p. Good luck
How do I see which ones are subs/Getty? I can only see number of downloads. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
