Is there a way to differentiate what files Adobe sells, and what files Fotolia sells?
@Rimglow the Adobe Stock sales are not differentiated in your Fotolia stats at this time. -Mat

Hi All,
I want to let you know that the requests and suggestions made after the Fotolia site was upgraded last month are still being reviewed and implemented where possible. The newest change has been activated.
You can now add up to 200 characters when submitting an image title/description.
We are continuing to work on reducing your submission time. More to come soon, please keep sending your suggestions and needs.

Hi All, I'm sorry for the delayed response. The weekend was pretty busy for me in my personal life. On that note, Happy belated Father's Day to all you Dads out there! Here are the questions I believe were unanswered. Let me know if I missed anything and as always feel free to email me directly if you would like: [email protected]Wonder what the hangup on editorial Is?...mat?@Rinderart we are constantly considering the best ways to improve the product based on client and contributors feedback and needs. Matt, found on other forums that Adobe does massive give away of imagery to attract new clients. Here msg members can comment on this, because i am not a new user. For all of us it will be interesting to know that Fotolia and Adobe will keep guarantees of user setting, for example: no free, no exclusive. You answered that you forwarded this to the team, but now this question about give away arrives regarding Adobe itself. Any progress on this? Please comment. @Skyfish if a license is issued on your image, you will be paid a commission. That commission will never be less than the minimum guarantee.
Matt, one more question, i live in Lima, Peru, from here i cant see adobe stock website, why i not avaible in my country? in which countrys is avaible? and when i can see adobe stock website? @Ana currently Adobe Stock is available in 42 regions. The market will continue to expand. The list of countries can be seen at stock.adobe.com by clicking the change region link in the lower left corner of the screen. Does clicking the stock tab on your creative cloud app pull up the search and such?@DallasP a good source of information on how to use Adobe Stock from a customers perspective can be found here: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/help/using-adobe-stock.html 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. @Loop contributors are paid 33% of the amount paid. This amount is never less than the minimum guarantee which is based on your rank. Thank you for your questions, keep them coming if you have more! -Mat Hayward

Does anyone know where they will be posting sales information on sales from Adobe Stock?
Will it be on Fotolia?
Or will they post sales information on the Adobe Stock website (which means that we will have to register on Adobe Stock to get that information)?
AFAIK, they're just mixed in (unmarked) with your regular FT sales.
Correct, they are not differentiated in your stats at this time. -Mat

How come my rank shows a negative number? -147 till the next level? Am I missing something or is this a hyphen not a minus sign?
There is a visual bug that is impacting accounts that have not had sales since the launch. As soon as you sell your next license the issue will automatically correct itself. Thank you for your patience, Mat

Can a contributor submit directly to Adobe Stock, or do they go through Fotolia?
@cathyslife, the only way to upload to Adobe Stock is through Fotolia. -Mat

Matt, What is the income range, i.e. money per download received by the photographer for clips?
Adobe Stock is not selling video clips at this time. -Mat

Mat, how long does the transfer from FT to AS take for new images?
@Sean, I don't know the answer to that question. I will ask. -Mat

Matt,
the watermark is too simple and not covering enough. There is still possibility to balance interests of designer and vendor. Comp quality is too high for the comp, for my opinion.
Another question: do you have plans for Editorial and RM content ?
Guarantee of settings stability, like "no free section" , "no exclusive" ?
@Skyfish, I appreciate your feedback. I will share your comments about the watermark. There are no plans in place for editorial content or rights managed licensing that I am aware of. Your feedback regarding default settings for indexing has also been noted. Thank you, Mat

Question for Mat.
Great to see my rank jump to Emerald but sales today are still showing the old amount of credit ie:
Standard S = 3 credit instead of 6
XXL = 12 instead of 24
Hoping this is just a glitch
@Smilla, shoot me an email with the specific changes you want made to your pricing and I will submit your request to our tech team later today. Thanks, Mat [email protected]

Hi Leaf, Send me an email with the specific changes you want and I will be happy to help. There are several requests pending in Fotolia from other contributors that I am also aware of. I will be processing those later today, thank you for your patience. -Mat [email protected]

Mine hasnt changed either. It says I need -279 sales for silver. I now have 1279 sales.
Ill see what it says tomorrow, maybe it will be set over night.
I'm seeing a pattern there. I have shared this with the tech team to review. -Mat

Another question for Mat. Will the Instant collection be included in Adobe Stock? I see existing Instant Collection images appear to be, but wanted to clarify if that will continue to be the case moving forward?
@KerinF yes, the Instant Collection is in Adobe Stock. As far as I know those images will continue to be added as they are approved at Fotolia. -Mat

Hasn't worked for me - 1140 downloads, 'only 140 sales to reach the next rank' (silver). Less sales to reach silver than before but silver was 1,000 sales. Now it's 1280 sales?
@Steveball, to my knowledge the rank requirements have not changed. Silver is still 1,000 sales according to the chart here: https://us.fotolia.com/Info/Contributors/ConditionsSend me an email with your account login name and I'll check into this for you. -Mat [email protected]

It was right in front of me. How am I supposed to see that?
LOL, I will let the tech team know they need to bury that information deeper

How do you find rank? I haven't looked since the site redesign
@dbvirago you can find your rank on the contributor area page within your account: https://us.fotolia.com/Contributor-Mat

Mat, what about extended licenses on Adobe Stock (or via CC)?
@dirkr, Adobe Stock is not selling extended licenses at this time. All requests for this type of use will be referred to Fotolia. -Mat

Mat, any plans to give exclusive contributors a better deal on Adobe sales than nonexclusive contributors or files.?
@Tickstock, not at this time. All contributors receive a 33% commission on Adobe Stock sales that exceed the minimum payout regardless of rank or exclusivity. -Mat

Hi Everyone, Thank you so much for the great questions. I will do my best to continue to answer them all as the day goes on. "Mat, how about past sub sales? will they count as one full download as well?"@cidepix, Yes that is correct. All past subscription downloads have been adjusted to equal 1 full sale towards your rank. Will sales on adobe stock be reported in real time on fotolia? Can we see on fotolia which sales came via adobe?@cobalt: Yes, sales are recorded in real time. Those sales will not be differentiated in your dashboard at this time. Will Adobe undercut his prices by DPC?
When will Adobe close DPC?@r2d2 The prices that have been announced are what we are offering. Dollar Photo Club will continue to run as normal. However, we have stopped promoting and marketing the site. Mat, can you please clarify how will videos be treated by Adobe Stock?@ultimagaina, Videos are not currently available on Adobe Stock but we are constantly considering the best ways to improve the product based on client and contributors feedback and needs. "Adobe - please reconsider accepting editorial content. There is a need in the marketplace for these kind of images as well!"@noodle; We arent offering editorial at this time. "Is it a pay raise? 750 images for $199 means you would get something like 8 or 9 cents per sale doesn't it?"@tickstock, There is a minimum payout as seen in the link I shared earlier. "I think that's correct but then is it a raise since everyone will get the guaranteed minimum? Did they raise that or is it staying the same?"The minimum payout structure remains the same according to your rank.
"Am I dreaming or did I also see mention of Adobe Stock as a seperate website too? (i was running out the door when i started reading all the gubbins so maybe it was just a lack of oxygen)"@smilla, the standalone site for Adobe Stock is here: www.stock.adobe.com

Image prices seem to range from $9.99 for a single image, to as low as 26c for the super heavy users (750 images / month).
$3.33 for a DL isn't bad (I think; it's been a while since I've thought about indie commissions), but I'm positive that 9c is terrible.
I'd guess that the most common sale price will be 10 images a month for $30 to CC subscribers, so $1 commission per sale.
It could be worse.
@KB You can learn more information about the commission structure here: https://us.fotolia.com/Info/Contributors/RoyaltiesNo commissions will drop below the minimum amount which is based on your Fotolia rank. -Mat

We are thrilled to announce the launch of a brand new stock marketplace, Adobe Stock!
As most of you will know, Adobe has continually strived to ensure those working in the creative industry, including photographers, are at the forefront of their company environment and ethos. We are together working to expand this vision towards a multi-billion dollar sharing economy which you are now part of. All images available in Fotolias standard collection have automatically been added to Adobe Stocks platform.
The integration of Adobe Stock with Creative Cloud allows Creative Cloud customers to launch Adobe Stock directly within CC desktop software, and add watermarked or licensed images to their Creative Cloud Libraries. This in turn allows them to access and work with images across multiple desktop tools. When creatives are ready to license the image for the final project, they can do so directly within the desktop software they are working in. In short, your images will be far more accessible and easy to purchase than ever before.
Adobe Stock will act in addition as a standalone website expanding again the potential reach for your images to be seen by millions. This will no doubt have a phenomenal effect on your sales.
The good news does not stop there. Fotolia subscription payouts have been raised, from 20-25% to 33% for all contributors! Adobe Stock payouts will be 33% on all products. And are maintaining the existing Fotolia guaranteed payout floors to protect your commissions on large subscriptions.
In addition, all subscription sales at Fotolia and Adobe Stock will be equal to one full download towards your rank. This gives you an opportunity to jump through the ranks and increase your income at a much faster rate. All you have to do is continue to submit your images through Fotolia.

I think it is far from a saturated market. The demand for video content is growing every day at a very fast rate. I would be very interested to see some statistics showing how many people bought video footage a year ago compared to today and then to see those numbers a year from now. Based on the trends I've seen I would be willing to bet the jump is huge in comparison.

Hi All,
The Fotolia site development team has updated the indexing page so you can shuffle and sort your keywords in order of relevance again.
In the indexing tool under the box of keywords simply click the "order keywords" link. You can move any keywords you want up or down from there. Remember that the search places priority on the first 7 keywords submitted so be sure to place the most relevant keywords at the top of the list.
Have a great day!
-Mat
