Thanks for the feedback everyone! My intent is to write a blog to break down what we talked about in the webinar and answer questions I've received before and after that weren't addressed.

Do you have any requests for future topics of discussion in webinars?

Hopefully you can go into the plurals, word stemming. And things like s words that aren't actually plural, like the one in the seminar, Outdoor and Outdoors. I suspect from what Judy said, some of those are coded in, to find the related similar word for either one?

Thanks for clearing up why altering keywords after 30 days, doesn't have the same effect as the words we initially use, when we upload. But She also said, if adding specific descriptive, concept combinations or locations, that would help. The point isn't all or none, about updating and improving keywords on older images.

My Aunts in Chicago used to call the couch a Devenport, you aren't the only one who has heard that term.  I never thought of it, and now I see it's both of antiquated and generic.

Thanks for the feedback Pete. I'm waiting for definitive clarification but the specific example of "outdoors" vs "outdoor" can have two separate meanings. "The Great Outdoors" referencing a vast forest for example as compared to what I perceive "outdoor" to be simply outside. It's a tough example to lock in. It's the classic battle between noun and adjective. Personally, I don't see the harm in using both but you didn't hear it from me

I'm working on a blog summary that will hopefully be published in the not-too-distant-future.

Thanks also for affirming I'm not losing my mind with the couch situation!

Hi All,

Thank you to everyone who joined the webinar on search this past Friday. I hope it was informative and that you got something from it. We touched a bit on the current trending search for Wuhan, China content. I've just learned in addition to Wuhan searches, we are seeing an increase in search for effective handwashing techniques right now. If you are looking for something to shoot right now, go find your favorite hand model, get them soaped up and let the hot water run (for at least 20 seconds....it's not just good stock, it's good hygiene!).

Hi All,

I want to update you on recent Adobe Stock uploads. The indexing for search results is taking us a bit longer than we�d like and we are working hard to catch up. We are experiencing a delay of approximately 4 days at the moment but expect this to be resolved soon. We appreciate your patience and, as always, thank you for submitting your content to Adobe Stock.

Kind regards,

Mat Hayward

fyi, I received mine before the end of January.

Yeah, thanks. I knew that because in January I contacted regular Adobe help and they said I should've received it and to contact Adobe Tax. I did and they said there would be a portal to download it next year! I've sent them one email a week for the past four weeks, and no one has ever responded. Regular Adobe help is just as useless, though they always respond, even if it just to say I should've received a form by now, contact Adobe Tax, and that they have no way themselves of contacting the tax people.

Did you move in 2019? If so, did you update your tax form to reflect your new address? The tax team will get back to you but they are quite busy.

Thanks for your patience,

Mat Hayward

A keyword search in there would be much more useful in my opinion.

When trying to add files to collections, I have to go through all my files on there and add them in, I probably miss quite a few doing it that way. A keyword search would make it far easier.

Or am I missing an obvious way of adding to collections?

I hear you. It's on the list..the list is long and the priorities do shift. I don't expect this to happen any time soon but I do realize it's a top request.

Thanks for the feedback,

Mat

Hi Anita,

We communicated this as much as possible in December, 2018 including here in MSG: https://www.microstockgroup.com/fotolia-com/payout-minimum-reduced-to-$25/msg523275/#msg523275

Kind regards,

Works for me again too. Thanks Mat! Stephan

I will happily accept all credit for fixing this.

-Mat

In all seriousness, I'm glad it's been sorted out. I'm told a fix was implemented earlier today. I really appreciate the reports and even more so your patience!

-Mat

Same here, broken on Chrome for PC..

Thanks for the report, I'm not seeing this in my account but have been seeing this reported by other contributors. Our engineering team is looking into it. I'll let you know when I have information to share.

-Mat

Thank you! That worked. And, if anyone from Adobe is listening, this is something that should be right on our main dashboard.

Yes, we are listening.

-Mat

Hopefully Matt can chime in on this...

Was just sharing some of my images from my PicFair portfolio to Twitter ( @thpstockphotos if you're interested ) , and it was a breeze.

Figured I'd go do the same from my Adobe Stock portfolio - except there is no sharing option on the image detail pages, unless I'm missing something?

I thought I'd take a look at Shutterstock, and sure enough they have the option to share from the image detail page. However, it's really lacking - it only adds the URL in by default. No description, no hashtags, not even a proper Twitter card to display a nice, full size image.

Just got me wondering why Adobe Stock doesn't have this kind of feature? Surely it'd be a pretty easy win? If it's built out properly (like the PicFair one, although even that could be improved a little) I'm sure contributors would be sharing their images a lot more (at least, I know I would).

It's a good suggestion and would be a nice feature. The development team is working on a lot with the portal to make it a better experience. I'll make sure to share this feedback with the team.

Thanks,

Mat

Thanks Adobe! Got the email.

A question for Mat:

I was keywording a bunch of images today that I uploaded in 2019 but did not finish tagging, so they were still in my "to submit" queue. If Adobe has the Creative Cloud Bonus Program again in 2020, will those images be counted as 2020 uploads? I hope to add a lot more than 300 images in 2020, assuming I will qualify for illustrative editorial during the year, but you never know, and I want to keep track properly for this year. Thanks.

It's a good question. I think the system that automatically determines who is qualified would not count those images. Not 100% sure on that though. Why cut it so close? Keep uploading all year long!

It's not a great idea to keep uploaded content unsubmitted in general. The system looks at the upload date to determine where it's at in search. If it sits in your queue for 6 months, the system will see it as a 6 month old photo with no view or download history which implies it's not good and pushed it deeper into search. It's easier said than done I know, I've got files that have been sitting in my queue for a VERY long time.

Mat

I had 300 accepted and never received the code

Send a ticket via the contact us page found at the bottom of the Adobe Stock Contributor Portal and we'll take a look for you. If you qualified, the code most likely landed in your spam folder.
