Mat, what if I use AI to transform my original image?

Will it be considered as AI or original image?

I'm assuming you mean this in the context of uploading to Adobe Stock? If you are using any generative AI software during any part of the creation of your asset, you must comply with all generative AI submissions. As noted above in this thread, while Firefly is in beta, you cannot use the content generated for commercial use, which includes stock uploads.

As a reminder, the generative AI submission guidelines can be found here: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/generative-ai-content.html

Thanks,

Mat Hayward

Hi Everyone,
 
This morning Pacific Daylight Time, we emailed our contributors the following message.
 
�We wanted you to be the first to know that today Adobe introduced Adobe Firefly, a new family of creative generative AI models. Firefly�s initial focus on images and test effects is now available in beta at firefly.adobe.com. The first model of Firefly is trained on Adobe Stock images, openly licensed content, and public domain content, where copyright has expired and is designed to generate images safe for commercial use. During the beta phase, the Firefly-generated assets cannot be used for commercial purposes.
 
We are investing in generative AI to help creators transform the way they imagine and explore possibilities. We are committed to developing generative AI responsibly, with creators at the center. Through efforts like the Content Authenticity Initiative, we�re standing up for accountability, responsibility, and transparency in generative AI. We are developing a compensation model for Stock contributors, and we will share the details of this model when Firefly exits beta.�
 
You can read more about our announcement here: https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2023/03/21/bringing-gen-ai-to-creative-cloud-adobe-firefly
 
Please see our FAQ for more information about the beta release of Firefly here: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/firefly-faq-for-adobe-stock-contributors.html

Please let me know if you have any questions,

Mat Hayward

A quick note to confirm the last few questions...

As of Friday, March 3, the payout will be possible again.

Future payouts will be processed in US Dollars.

Thank you,

Mat Hayward

As long as the subscription you are redeeming for is the exact same as your current plan, the expiration date should extend out an additional year if redeemed now.

And mine did - thank you Adobe - but it took a little while after I redeemed the code for the expiration date to change from 2023 to 2024. I logged out and in again, refreshed the page - but I don't think it was anything I did, just needed a little more patience

I think that is a normal experience. Thanks for sharing Jo Ann. After redeeming, give it around 5 minutes or so before you can expect to see the expiration date for your subscription to update.

When is the Blue Bar appearing? I need to redeem the code to continue to use my Adobe Illustrator which has just expired today.

Take a look at the Adobe Stock Contributor portal now. If you qualified for the bonus code, you should now see the blue redemption bar. Congratulations to everyone who qualified and THANK YOU for being such an important part of Adobe Stock!

Without you, there is no us.

-Mat Hayward

If I redeem now it will just get tacked on to the current subscription from last year? Or do I need to wait until next December/January to redeem?

Thanks again Mat and Adobe.

As long as the subscription you are redeeming for is the exact same as your current plan, the expiration date should extend out an additional year if redeemed now.

MatHayward, on how many computers can I install Adobe Premiere?
And where can I find a new code, at what address?

As far as I understand, you can have it installed on as many computers as you want. You can have it active on two computers simultaneously. I recommend you double check at adobe.com to make sure.

Thanks,

Mat Hayward

I already pay for an all apps subscription. Can I use the single app bonus to get a discount?

No, the single app code will not offset any expense for an alternate plan.

-Mat Hayward

Yes, thanks so much for your patience everyone. As it has already been pointed out above, you can download 1099 forms for Adobe Stock, 2022 earnings here: https://236230.invoiceinfo.com/get1099.html

If you have any questions or concerns about the 1099, please contact the tax team directly via [email protected]

Thank you,

Mat Hayward

I lost the 2021 code, used the 2022 code before it disappeared, now I'll just activate and I'm good until 2025.

Thanks for the news Mat, and thanks Adobe.

I wish I could take credit, but I'm just the messenger here. Our full team at Adobe Stock is genuinely grateful for the incredible contributors around the world. The level of creativity and determination you demonstrate each year is nothing short of awe-inspiring. You are all top-of-mind for all of us with every decision made, and we look forward to continuing to grow together!

Stay creative!

Mat Hayward

Mat, a question.
My paid subscription has now started, Adobe has debited the first monthly payment for February.
Do I need to cancel the subscription or is it enough to just enter the new code?

Thank you

If the code you redeem is for the exact same plan, then your payments should be paused while the code is active. I recommend you visit adobe.com and contact Adobe customer service directly for additional confirmation once you have received and redeem your code.

thanks,

Mat

FWIW, I received mine in the mail today.

As I understand it, all hard copies of 1099 forms have been mailed out already. Those of you who opted in for the electronic forms previously would not be receiving a paper copy. As mentioned, I'll update you tomorrow morning my time.

Thanks,

Mat Hayward

I have some questions out to our tax team and will update here as soon as the link is ready for downloads.

Thank you,

Mat Hayward
