You can and edit the files after they have been accepted at Adobe Stock.
From your dashboard click on the file - then click on the field your want to change then click the edit icon.

But to solve your problem - First upload to a site that has a spell checker, when you see a problem go back and fix it before you upload anywhere else.

I wish there was a way to see how many views a photo has had.  Of course downloads is important, but there is good information to be had knowing how many views a given photo has.

About all 'views' tell you is how many people didn't buy your image. That's more depressing than informative.

I'd say, to be safe, start over with a new approved release and make sure it's legible.

I'm not trying to paint them in any particular light...I'm sure they're well-meaning. I found that "real" support answered my questions pretty quickly, as frustrating as I may have found a few of their answers.

I won't be writing to support any more because now it's fruitless...the fellow contributor I'm writing to knows no more than I do and has no access to the files I'm asking about.

This is just an attempt by Shutterstock to save money by doing away with most contributor support and replacing it with contributors who are willing to make, from your telling, literally 5 to 10 cents an hour. I find it sad. It's sad for the support staff who might have been making a living wage, and it's sad for contributors who are willing to work for 5� an hour.

I feel exactly the same way having had the same exact experience as you.
And as everyone stops sending support requests because of the poor responses they will need fewer and fewer people to respond - they win  - and with fewer support requests they can boast how well the system works because they get so few complaints -- they win.

works fine here

One's numbers will also be affected by when they started and how much they sold early on when subs were .20, and OD's and SOD's and EL's hadn't been invented yet.

Shutterstock's goal is to increase downloads and thus profits, and to stimulate you to upload more work; they don't care how many downloads you personally get. Whether it's 50% of the downloads for contributor A and 50% for contributor B, or 100% for A and 0% for B, the bottom line is all that counts.
That means the search algorithm is not designed to work against any specific contributor, it simply doesn't care as long as the bottom line is looking good.

In a suscription based model increasing downloads does not increase their profits.

Increasing downloads, or subscribers*

Increasing downloads is not the goal - increasing subscribers is where the money is.
And in theory increasing subscribers should mean more downloads.

Just opinions. And i can't be bothered or have the time to spend doing indepth analysis but i also don' t believe that sorting our potrfolios by popular or new is the same algorithm as the logged in buyers search algorithms?
But I am certain that nothing SS does is designed to make me or you money.

Title - is usually no more than 7 words
Description - is up to 200 characters

Sites should put more weight on the Description than the Title

Hi Jim

Sounds interesting, but how would most microstock contributors know the answer? I do both commercial and editorial images and submit them to the agencies that accept them, but no-one breaks out the sales between those categories (as far as I know). Wouldn't you have to track the sales performance of every single image?

Hence the "Not Sure" Option

Hi folks

What do you think about my Portfolio? https://www.shutterstock.com/g/cicloco
....
By the way, i'm not very into special art postprocessing..., would it be an upgrade to my portfolio more saturating my landscapes or doing other HDR and/or art postporcessing with it? Ideas? Till now i tried to let it natural...

Thanks in advance!

Sorry but your colors don't look at all natural to me.

Thanks Adobe.
Just redeemed my code and it has nicely extended my plan.
