A big thanks to the efforts of Antonio Gravante who had more than 500 accounts of stolen images removed from Shutterstock, great work!  You can see in the initial link the progress of his work, in red the accounts removed and unfortunately the increasing number of fraudulent accounts discovered.

Good morning, I wanted to share with you a document showing almost 1,000 fake shutterstock accounts where stolen photos and images are resold.
The problem unfortunately does not only concern Shutterstock but also other sites, which is why I preferred to post in the general forum.
Currently, an Italian photographer named Antonio Gravante is conducting a tough search for the fake accounts and has managed to shut down many dozens of them by contacting Shutterstock directly. Unfortunately, the process is long and complicated.
He seems to have much better luck with Adobe, which is much less complicated and more responsive.
As you can see in the document (continuously updated), the links in red are those currently closed, while those in blue are still active.
I recommend that you check the presence of your images and in case report the problem further to Shutterstock.
The reality is that many thousands of stolen images are regularly sold, depriving the real authors of their earnings.
I hope you find this report helpful.

Adobe Stock / Re: Intellectual Property Rejection
« on: December 16, 2023, 05:24 »
I will try to send the images as editorial, they don't have any visible logo anyway. It makes no sense that the same images have been accepted as both editorial and commercial on Adobestock.

Adobe Stock / Intellectual Property Rejection
« on: December 15, 2023, 09:41 »
I recently uploaded several images of buildings in the city of Tokyo and I received several rejections for intellectual property. I don't understand if the images should be sent as editorials because in this specific case I had both the Tokyo Tower and the Tokyo International Forum as my subject. Both subjects are present in the Adobestock database with hundreds of images, both commercially and editorially licensed. Why can't I send images with subjects already for sale on Adobestock?

General Stock Discussion / thief of images on SS
« on: December 21, 2022, 10:52 »
Warning, SS contributor "axeeali47" is selling some of my images after slightly editing them, I guess he stole other images from other authors. Already reported to SS awaiting their response.

1. I'm in, the project looks interesting.
2. I agree with the previous proposals, $ 1 per image if purchased in a group and $ 5 per single.

Canva / Re: How are the earnings going?

Sales have dropped a lot and moreover they now reject me almost every image I send. :(

still nothing...
nothing yet... :( contributor of fotolia for 11 years and subscriber to adobe products ...

Did you do this? I'm sure that Mat will be able to check for you.

To qualify you need to one of the first 20,000 contributors to have 300 files approved or have $500 in earnings since January 1, 2018 with a 50% or higher approval ratio to receive a CCP member.

I just re-posted the easy part in case someone is new or hasn't noticed before.  :)

The CCP software is exactly one year, to the date you register, free cloud storage lasts longer. It includes PS, LR, LR Classic, Bridge CC, a trial of Premier Rush video - (three free trial), Portfolio, Spark, Behance (I have no clue what they are or do) and XD CC "Adobe Experience Design CC, or Adobe XD, is a lightweight vector graphics editor and prototyping tool"

Thanks Adobe

Thanks Pete, I think I'm qualified, I'm sapphire ranking on fotolia.  ;)

I met the qualifications before the email went out, but haven't received anything. Does it matter if my current cc subscription is under a different account than my stock account?

No, that doesn't matter. The code will be emailed to the address associated with your Adobe Stock Contributor account.

i think i qualify but not code, just email from adobe stock who advertise their reward.



I also received several emails from adobe but still no code and no 'emails in spam folder...

Some amazing Spamfolios here:-

https://www.shutterstock.com/g/agiampiccolo?page=1&sort=newest&search_source=base_gallery&language=en

Appears to be 40,000 images of the same thing with only slight changes and mono/colour for each one.

I guess SS dont do rejections for similar any more!

You should open a ticket on shutterstock and ask for explanations about it, we all should do it.

StockFresh / Re: A call to arms - Support StockFresh
« on: May 21, 2012, 09:49 »
Nope, sorry. I had 5-6.000 of files with them and I pulled the plug. I never saw more than $20 in a month, they are simply deaf to suggestions (well not exactly deaf, but they never took action to any advice) and the only thing they always say it's "starting is difficult, we ask you for patience, etc".
They'll never gonna make it. But I wished they did, as everyone else.
Same here, till now it was a waste of time...

I lost my hope in SF, at this moment I'm 20 in popularity artist list of the site.
What's make me scary?
My earning of this month are less than 9 dollars...

That's weird.  I'm much lower on the list but am earning something like $30-$50 every month there.  I actually have much more hope for them.  They seem to be heading in the right direction, though slowly.
I think maybe that the list is portfolio size? ETA ooops just noticed you can sort it by different things

Yes it's very weird...I'm around 45 position in portfolio size...
So what does it mean "popularity"?
Just view for file and not sell for file?

Not easy to navigate? :D
Try to submit a picture is just a terrible experience!
Too complicated, need a lot of time and reviewers reject so many picture that's sell very well everywhere!
I already give up to this site. >:(
