Thanks for letting us know Matt, will the email show the price per clip?

Yes, more information will be available tomorrow including the price per clip.

Thanks for the question,

Mat

Have to say, so far not knocking my socks off in terms of additional sales. Hopefully when the marketing kicks in that will change.

No, it wasn't a mistake. It was a solid move. This is very early days so I would strongly encourage you to remain patient.

thanks,

Mat Hayward

I agree that it would be great for contributors to see how many PNG vs JPEG downloads there were for relevant items.

There is a new way to search - a filter called Background where you can pick All, Transparent or Isolated Assets. If you click the helpful information icon you see an explanation of isolated vs. transparent (bonus points to Adobe for choosing two adorable dogs to illustrate)

If I give someone a portfolio link, they can't filter by transparency (just images, video, 3D, etc.) but the PNG uploads show with a checkerboard background which is great.

I couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks Jo Ann!

Hi Everyone,

I have been informed that the final selections in the latest wave for the Free collection have been finalized. By now, you should have received the payment for all of your approved assets (5 credits each). Thank you so much for your participation.

-Mat Hayward

That will remain in place for a while. Should go away in time.

Thanks,

Mat Hayward

Thanks Mat !
One more question I have 90$ in balance but payout button is not blue ? is that because I have a Pending payment ?

You can only have one payment pending at a time. Once your currenty payment request is processed, you'll be able to submit a new request.

Thanks,

Mat

Free Collection nomination banner has been disappeared on my side?

Hi Mat,
Can we manually submit the work in free collection after the nomination has ended?

I'm not sure I understand the question. Please rephrase it and I'll do my best to get back to you asap.

Thanks,

Mat

I mean, say I had option to nominate say 100 items but due to some issues, forgot to nominate them.
And since, I lost the opportunity, so can we request the team to reconsider the same now?

Or maybe, can I send say 1000 items to adobe (after the nomination period is over) and the team can do selection from those?

Thanks for the clarification. Unfortunately, no. This is not an option.

I have been having lots of rejections recently of editorial images. I thought nothing of it and have kept shooting other commerical subjects that get accepted. This week I have been in London covering the tributes to Queen Elizabeth in Green Park and Buckingham Palace. These are current news editorial images, yet the whole batch have been rejected for not meeting editorial guidelines. I really cannot work out why these would be rejected.
Anyone got any ideas? have Adobe changed their editorial policy? or know how to contact Mat Hayward to understand a bit more.
Thanks

Nothing has changed regarding our policy of editorial submissions. While these files you've posted about do not have recognizable people in them, they still do not quality as "illustrative editorial" which is all we are currently accepting. Please review the learn and support pages for specific guidelines on what is and what is not acceptable. https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/illustrative-editorial-content.html

thank you,

Mat Hayward

Mat, first of all, thank you for kneeling in here like this and facing the criticism  . Although we are hairstyle twins, now a little criticism of your statement.

Quite a few people here describe problems with the definition of "illustrative editorial" and you only refer to all well known Adobe guidelines, which obviously have a lot of room for interpretation.

Last week I submitted about 50 city views of Cologne as editorial, all rejected in the first round. On the second try, about 30 were accepted. Mat, this sucks and maybe you could address this issue and take it seriously. This is very much in need of improvement.

The Illustrative Editorial collection is designed to be showcasing specific, branded content. A soda bottle in ice with condensation dripping down the bottle comes to mind. While there is some gray area here for sure, what it sounds to me is that you are attempting to submit travel editorial content which if the true intent of the collection were considered, is not acceptable. The content in the OP here is newsworthy and based on a current event, not on a specific brand.

I hope that helps,

Mat Hayward

Mat, have few questions. I uploaded few of my best sellers that were isolated on white as png files with transparent background and they got accepted.

New accepted files are still jpegs and they look like they have white background that can be interpreted that I have double files, already sold one of them.

Can contributor get in trouble because of that?

to try to answer alexandersr, my blue ribbon says we NOW accept transparent PNG ("now", not "no")

No, you won't get into trouble for this. It's only temporary until we unlock PNG downloads to customers. If, for some reason you are flagged somehow feel free to contact me directly to help resolve any potential issues.

I will look into the translation issue raised by alexandersr. Please disregard any message claiming we do not accept PNG files.

Thanks,

Mat Hayward

Hi Mat, If I nominate all eligible assets say 50 files then will all those 50 files be selected or will Adobe make a selection again in that number?

Adobe will make a selection from the 50 assets you nominate. There is no guarantee that all 50 (or any) of your nominated assets will be selected. In most cases I am aware of, less than the max is selected.

Good luck,

Mat Hayward

Hi everyone,

This thread has triggered a deeper look into rejection rates by our team. During this process we identified an issue that may be impacting some of you. There was a recent update that impacts how thumbnails are generated. The thumbs are now dependent on the art board size. Those of you setting your art board too small (below 1000 pixels) are likely seeing rejections on content that is similar in quality to what you had previously had approved.

To avoid this while we�re working on a fix, please set your art boards at >1000px, ideally ~10MP area.

For those of you that took me up on my offer and sent some example image ID numbers, thank you very much. This information was very helpful. In future posts, if you are comfortable sharing, please be sure to include image ID numbers.

thanks again,

Mat Hayward

FYI, on Thursday, September 1, I will be hosting a livestream with some members of the Adobe Stock staff. Part of the livestream will be dedicated to providing information and answer questions live about PNG uploads. We will also be discussing the Creative Trend "Centered Self."

The session will happen in Behance Live at 12pm PDT: https://www.behance.net/adobestock/livestreams

I'm going to be offline starting this Thursday, through the end of next week. I should have a Learn and Support page link to share with you before the end of day tomorrow with some file specifications. When ready, I'll post that link in this thread.

Thanks,

Mat Hayward

Mat, something just occured to me - I submitted some png files and today one of them was sold. But if these images are now not sold as transparent pngs, but jpgs to the customers, isn't it highly misleading to them, when they have "transparent" in title and keywors? At least the keyword "transparent" is automatically filled in by adobe when submitting a png file. Wouldn't it be better to hide them from customers alltogether, till Adobe is ready to launch them as pngs instead of selling them as jpgs while claiming they were transparent?

That's exactly how it is with me, Firn. I have uploaded a few png files - online since two days. The same images are also available in my portfolio as jpg with white background. And now the first of the png images has been sold.

I too see the danger that buyers might feel fooled when they realize that the images are not clipped at all.

Mat, what do the buyers actually get? A jpg or a png?

For now, these files are only available as JPG on the customer facing site. Once the feature is launched, they can download PNG files.

Thank you for the feedback,

Mat

But why are they advertised as transparent to customers?

I'm not sure what you mean. This feature is not launched for customers yet. There is no need to put the word "transparent" in your title or keywords if that is what you mean. PNG files with transparent backgrounds will be automatically identified by us and will surface in the correct, filtered searches.

-Mat Hayward

Sorry, Mat, but you wrote this on the first page of this thread:

� I would add "transparent" as a keyword. No need to add the file type. This will be in a filter customers can use.

Thanks for the question,

Mat�

Thanks for catching that. That statement was contradicted by my team earlier today who said there was no need to add the keyword. My bad.
