By now, you should have received an email about the 2020 bonus program for Adobe Stock artists. We are switching the program up this year. Instead of the number of uploads being the qualifier, it's going to be the number of downloads. Contributors with more than 150 downloads between Jan 1 and Dec 31, 2020 will receive a bonus code for their chose of Creative Cloud Photography plan or a single app which yes, one of those apps to choose from is Illustrator if you are a vector artist or Premiere if you are a video producer. For those of you that have 5,000 or more downloads this year we'll be providing you with a code for the all-apps Creative Cloud. Still images count as 1 download, video licenses count as 8 downloads by the way. You can see all the details here for additional information: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/royalty-details.htmlLet me know if you have any questions, Mat Hayward

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 wed 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

This is a feature that I've been getting requests for since day one.
I'm very pleased to inform you that you can now search for specific assets using the content ID number within the dashboard section of the Adobe Stock Contributor Portal. The "Search By Content ID" box is in the upper right corner of the main dashboard page.

Those of you in New York, Adobe will be at Photoville in Brooklyn this coming weekend and next. I'll be doing a handful of presentations on shooting stock and also on concert photography in the Adobe tent. I would love to see some MSG faces in the audience! Photoville has the rare mix of being both free and fun! https://photoville.com/In addition, I can neither confirm nor deny that there may or may not be a secret event being held for Adobe Artists on the evening of Saturday, September 21 in Brooklyn (Dumbo).

Hi Everyone, In addition to the Creative Cloud bonus program announced earlier today, I have more good news to share. We have started accepting Illustrative Editorial submissions from individual contributors. As we are just getting started, we have limited this access to contributors ranked at Emerald or above (25,000 downloads or more). We will expand this access in the future. For now, if you are not ranked at Emerald or above though you feel you have a strong Illustrative Editorial collection already established you may write to us for consideration via the contact us link at the bottom of the contributor portal. Be sure to include a link to your existing work. To understand what Illustrative Editorial is and to learn about our guidelines, please review the information here: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/illustrative-editorial-content.htmlI'm looking forward to seeing what you submit! -Mat

Hi Everyone,
I want to give you a heads up. Starting tomorrow, instead of sending email notifications for each sale you receive all day long, we will begin sending one email per day with the aggregate total of sales from the day prior.
Kind regards,
Mat Hayward

Hi everyone,
A quick heads up. Soon you will start seeing the word "custom" as a license type in the activity statistics section of the Adobe Stock Contributor portal. This sale type is an indication of a custom license from an Enterprise customer.
Kind regards,
Mat Hayward

We have made a big change in the insights page of the Adobe Stock Contributor Portal. You can now see the total earnings per image for any specified date range. The top sellers will show up by default. Change the date range to see how much individual images have earned for you during that time.
To see the current sales and commissions as you are used to seeing them simply click "activity" in the drop down menu of options. We hope you like this change. More to come!
