One of the most frustrating things with this site is knowing /figuring out what kind of images they are looking for.
They are not your typocal stock site when it comes to subjects - the best way to describe what they want is "something off the beaten path" take a look through their database and you will see what i mean
Besides that their sales are painfully few and far between
I have only a handful of images there, i havent bothered to upload in awhile because of the things mentioned above.

I just did a search, found two of my most popular images, created a slideshow featuring "Uptown Funk" as my background music,
Should really be "Getty funk you up..."

Thank you Noodle.
So, it doesn't refer to images with people? I have some editorials taken on sport events and I don't want trouble.
well editorial license is very limited it is up to the customer to use whatever image they purchase within the scope of said license can customers screw up or just plain misuse / abuse a license? nothing is impossible and this is where the agency selling the license has to step in

What does clearance mean in this case? Clearance from who?
For editorial images to be used as commercial it means the client would have access to all releases necessary to do that I.e. Illustrative editorial featuring "Coca Cola" , the Customer wanting to use this image as commercial instead of editorial, would have to be in a position to obtain the clearance or releases to make that happen.

This could be a nice PR opportunity for your model, who has the chance to laugh about it and explain that although he isn't gay, he's proud to have his image used for such a worthy cause.
Good point! Maybe explain to the model it is the 21st century and being portrayed as gay is not defamatory no matter what his personal prejudices may be.
it may be the 21st century but everyone is entitled to their beleives and opinions - even if it is diametrically opposed to someone elses, noone should be squeezed into anyone elses way of thinking but back to the original point - there is definitely a caveat when dealing with models in rf microstock,

So, customers get a big discount when buying images if they pay a monthly fee to Adobe C.C. ... but photographer's don't get nothing of this monthly fee.
As I understand it we (contributors) get nothing of that discount (in terms of reduced royalty rates).
Which is fine.
I never expected to get a share of Adobe's monthly fee for their software.
If they promote their new stock offering by reducing fees for existing CC subscribers (without making us pay for their marketing efforts like most of the other micros do - when e.g. IS give customers rebates contributors received reduced royalties) I don't see anything negative about that.
^^ +1 They seem to be doing everything right from a contributers POV

they will continue to roll it out in other markets, just give it time
they had to do the bigger markets rollouts first - the rest will follow

Spmeone here not too long ago got the same request for an image
There is no back and forth negotiating, just an offer and an accept or reject from what I know
So this person didnt want to ruin the deal by asking too high, if I remember correctly, it wasnt a great selling photo, and a very simple one at that. he asked for $900 and the deal was done. Everyone left happy.

once the deals done, then remove it.
good luck

Good to remember too that selling stock is 100% of SS business
For Adobe selling stock is just the gravy on top
543

If SS decides to compete on pricing - well, that can be a two edged sword with contributers
Its time we see some creativity , like Adobe bumping up levels and coms, and see what the competition really has to offer.
If you thinkSS has deep pockets then Adobe has bottomless pockets
I like what Adobe has done, lets all hope that we end up as the benefactors of all of this

i hope this makes SS sit up and notice - hell they're probably at a boardroom meeting at their fancy digs at ESB now contwmplating a counterattack
If that counterattack includes raising commission percentage, make achieving next levels easier and brings our work onto the screens of millions of possible new customers - I'm all for it.
That would be great but they can start by cleaning up the atrocious review process - then do the rest, bump us up raise coms and give us shares in the company 😆

They definetly have a plan and are executing it from a business standpoint
These moves can only be positive for contributers, and to boot they threw in a couple of goodies like raising the levels and raising coms
I keep having to pinch myself that contributers are finally on the receiving end of something positive, even if it is small benefits. All we've been seeing from just about every other agency is clawbacks in one form or another

Looks like they did a favour to all contributers to bump them up, and make the ne t level up easily attainable
Very nice gesture Adobe, thank you

Wow, positive news from an agency?
That sounds crazy!
Actually , this is a very good positive step. Every creative uses Adobe, and now to have access to images at your fingertips as your working, I can only see positive growth as it relates to volume of sales.
It is also good that the rates are competitive, as this will keep the market place and the agancies like SS at least status quo for now.
Now Ill have to start uploading like mad
One more thing: Adobe - please reconsider accepting editorial content. There is a need in the marketplace for these kind of images as well!

Gawd that focus on those images is atrocious!
