The first 7 keywords have the greatest emphasis. The minimum number of keywords you can add is 5. I recommend you add between 15-20 for maxim visibility.

As for the view counter I don't have an eta. The view stats you see in Fotolia are for Fotolia only and do not represent Adobe Stock views at this time.

I don't know anything about the app but I can tell you that all Adobe Stock sales are combined with Fotolia sales. The sales you see at Fotolia are both Adobe Stock and Fotolia sales.

Yay for half a dozen people! Why would you announce this here? It would be much better received at Stocksy forums (I'm assuming Stocksy has forums). For the rest of us it means editorial competition we are no part of.

I appreciate your feedback . It is important to me to communcate changes happening at Adobe Stock to you whenever I can in as timely a manner as possible. Some of the changes I announce will have an impact on you, others may not. Regardless, I think it's very important that our contributor community stays informed.

Thanks,

This may have been requested before, but I would like to see some feedback on the dashboard after a credit conversion has been made. Something does show up right away, but then it seems to disappear. Something like "X credits have been requested for conversion."It's taking a few days for those credits to be paid out, so it would be nice to know it is in the works.

Duly noted. Thank you!

Hi All,

We are continuing to work hard in an effort to improve your experience with the Adobe Stock Contributor Portal. One thing we heard loud and clear through your helpful feedback is the need to see a preview of your videos while working in the tagging tool. In addition, we recognize the need for photo contributors to view a larger version of your photos from the indexing page.

I am happy to inform you that today we have updated the portal and these features are now live. While indexing your photos and videos you will see a small round icon with two arrows inside of it (located above keyword boxes). Clicking this icon will enlarge your image and/or activate your video to view.

Please keep the suggestions and feedback coming. What do you want to see next? If you haven't yet had a chance to sync your Fotolia account with the Adobe Stock Contributor Portal you can do so by visiting: contributor.stock.adobe.com

I would like the option to turn of the autofill for keywords so that I can fill in keywords with  a simple cut and paste in a blank box.
It sometimes brings up one i had not thought but right now the interface is really time consuming for me.  I put my keywords in a list in the right order and then cut ans paste.
If there is an option to tun it off, then one can work for both groups.

If you upload an image with the keywords already embedded in the metadata then the auto-keyword tool is automatically deactivated.

If you don't want to use any of the auto-keywords you can click "erase all keywords" under the keyword boxes to remove them all. Once done you can paste your entire list of keywords (separated by comma or semi-colon) into the top box. Click the tab key to distribute keywords into their own individual boxes after doing so.

My files do meet the criteria, I did upload them zip files thru web and ftp both. Some files make it (maybe 10%) but most of them don't.

That's unusual. Send me a direct email and I'll help you get sorted out.

You know I did even consider that but trust me I know what I'm doing and not a total retard.

Unlike the "artistes" who shoot trees and random leaves and rubbish.

The shots were exactly what they wanted and framed very well of subjects in Europe.

"This post is useless without images"

Yeah you are right 

DOH!

and No I don't need confirmation from other photographers as to the quality of my work

You're absolutely right, you don't need confirmation from other photographers as to the quality of your work. You only need confirmation as to the quality of your work from the stock sites you intend to sell them on... but unfortunately you didn't get that.

Don't get me wrong, your work could be great and Adobe have made a bad call, but your refusal to accept that the issue might actually be the quality of your work, precariously straddles the line between confidence in your work, and arrogance. Just sayin'.

Nah been doing this long enough now to know if I am in the wrong.

And no I'm not arrogant I know the difference between a bad call and stupid reviews FT has always been full of it when it comes down to reviews.

My point is that Fotolia/Adobe issue a call for shots that are quite clearly going to run in to problems with their own acceptance rules.

They should either adjust their rules and accept editorial like other agencies or just state very clearly that their call for images is worthless.

As it is you can supply an image that is quite clearly editorial in nature and sometimes it gets accepted by FT and sometimes it gets rejected.

It's a halfway house as it stands.

I think they need to clarify and not leave contributors guessing.

@Sammy The Cat, send me a link to your portfolio directly along with the image numbers in question that were rejected. I'll be happy to take a look and provide you with some feedback.

Thanks for your patience! You can now submit your .eps vectors to Adobe Stock.

Hello All,

Not a week goes by where I'm not asked at least once what type of content Adobe Stock is looking for. The general, catch-all answer is that regardless of the subject matter, buyers are looking for authenticity. Real looking people in real situations with genuine expressions and interactions.

That remains true and I expect it always will. That being said, a more specific list of content needs and requests has been generated. If you are looking for some motivation on what to shoot next..look no further than the list linked below....

So....from what I see at this time on Adobe is that the EPS upload process simply does not work and at this time there is zero way to get vector content onto adobe. Am I understanding this correctly?  It seems to have been like this all week.

You are half right. EPS vector uploads are temporarily disabled. You can upload AI vectors however. I'll be sure to post an update here in MSG once the EPS uploads are reactivated.

thanks,

Mat

Any answer on changing prices of uploaded files via the adobe interface? What price do they go up as on FL if I upload them on adobe?

The extended license price is automatically set to the maximum possible price on Fotolia. If you are ranked silver or higher, your EL price is 100 credits. The standard license credits price is 1 for XS and goes up from there.
