I create stock images and videos as a side hobby that helps me to earn some extra money which spending for my tools & gears are more easy to justify to the wife 

I do not earn millions ane even thousands every month with my Stocks production - that's why extra tools from Adobe which were free and I used to to use made my life easier.

The pace at which modern tech is developing makes my life more difficult - I need to study many things all the time - both on my job and my hobby time as well.  Some stability in the usage of the same tools I considered as a good factor. I use LR, PS and AE mnay years. I have even DaVinci Resolve commercial version, still do not want to change my work tools too often :-)

The rules for the bonus could be changed because the requirement about some minimal upload was easier to fulfil with AI tools than with real photos and video. I had balanced stock production latest years - 50 % AI and 50 % real things.

I hope this question will be clarified soon.

A few years ago MatHayward, https://www.microstockgroup.com/profile/?u=1879 was answering this question on Adobe behalf. I checked his status and see that he has not posted here for last year summer
Could be good if he is still active and helps to find the answer

Hi guys,

I wonder if Adobe will continue Adobe Creative Cloud Bonus program for the results of 2025.

I do not remember exactly, but I think by today's date we used to know about it..

Actually I got the answer at Getty own forum, it is like this:

- If person seems recognizable, by any thing,  for example clothes or by other things, if it is believed that that person looking at photo can say - "it is me!" then it should have either model release or be editorial

To silhouettes - it must be totally  black, so if someone increase exposure or light and then see the details it is not acceptable. If silhouette is masked and filled by black color that there is no image left it could be accepted.

Hello,

I have not been submitting new content to Getty Images since winter. Shutterstock accepts photos from behind and silhouette photo as ordinary, not editorial..

I remember that Getty last required model releases to street or beach photos when I took pictures from behind, when you cannot see a face.

I wonder how is it now at Getty, I have many new photos from my travels taken on streets which Shutterstock accepts as ordinary photo. Just do not want to resubmit - it is still much work
