My files are still nominated. The problem is that the pages of the entire batch are not sorted by a certain criteria,  each time the images are in different order and some images show up twice on different pages. Last nigh I double-checked all nominated ones and this morning I've found some bestsellers (also on other agencies) that escaped my vigilance and were still nominated.
I'll wait up and see what happens, I just hope not to give away some bestseller, by mistake.

Thanks for your help Mat.
I think that if you sort by Date, instead of by Downloads, it will keep the order through the pages.
Good idea, it was helpful to find and uncheck some more images that I didn't want to nominate.
Thank you very much.

Thanks Mat,
I am 100% sure I didn't click to agree because I was not decided what to do when I first looked. So, if the popup doesn't repeat, shouldn't the button be available at the addendum page?
What can I do now, how can I know?
Thanks.

The system was designed to prevent this. The moment you nominate an asset (either just one, or nominate them all with the button), the addendum dialogue pops up automatically. Once that happens, you have two options.

1.  Click X to close the dialogue without agreeing
     a. If you click the X and close the dialogue, any nominated photos are returned to the un-nominated status immediately.
2.  Click to agree
     a. The addendum box closes, your photo(s) switch to "nominated" status and you never see the dialogue pop up again.

As a reminder, to review the addendum, you must visit the FAQ page linked here: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/free-collection-contributor-information.html

@Dodie, if you are seeing your files are still nominated, that is an indication you did agree to the addendum. Feel free to send me an email to confirm your files are nominated.

I've been informed the root cause of the grayed out accept button was identified and corrected. If you were previously experiencing this issue, please try again and you should be good to go.

Thanks for your patience,

Mat Hayward
Hi Mat,
I can't find the accept button anywhere, it doesn't show up when I nominate images and I don't see it on the addendum page either. It is not grayed out, it doesn't exist anywhere. I tried FF and Chrome, browser at 100%.

Another question, just to be sure: if I move the slider on the blue bar to the right, all eligible files are selected (nominated) and then I can start unchecking one by one hundreds of files I don't want to nominate.
Is there another way to do this faster?
Thanks.

in opposite to other agencies, new content does not sell on Adobe for me:

 And since this is an Adobe-only phenomenon I am quite sure it's not because I suddenly started submitting crappier or less useful images.

You must be very lucky if you sell new uploads on all other agencies. Usually, people are complaining about not selling new stuff on any agency.


My sales are down too but there must be some other reason than the mentioned territorial change.
If I look at my tax withholding, all my sales are coming (always did) from the US which is stranger than adding Egypt to the existing territory.

Dreamstime.com / Mass download - is this legit?
« on: May 12, 2021, 03:46 »
Someone downloaded 11 of my images yesterday and 21 today, all $0.35 subs.
They are all local editorials, outdoors but very different subjects from Christmas market to car races and food festivals.
I wonder if this is a legit buyer or it will end up as customer refund?

I say it's witchcraft.

Can we expect your quantity of posts to decrease once your suspension is lifted on the SS forums?
Not  a chance. He will continue to spam both forums, just like he did before.

« on: February 16, 2021, 16:13 »
Many years back there was a big argument between Scott and Rinder it all ended up with Scott leaving and got about 50 peple banned in the process of leaving! and I'm talking some very big names getting banned!  being banned from SS is nothing new!

50 people banned from the forum for an incident? That's amazing. Must have been some real blow up? Banned for what reason? Fifty People! Scott?

You were around then?? no? it started with a row between Laurin and Scott and tons of members took Laurins side, cut a long story short it all got totally out of hand with lots of swearing this and that. Scott got the boot I think but just before leaving he banned lots of people that was cheering on Laurin!...surprised you dont remember??
I was around (from 2012) but I don't remember such a mass punishment ever. Sure not 5 years ago because at this time more people would like to see Laurin gone than cheering on his stay.

« on: February 16, 2021, 12:58 »
My tax form expired on January 2021 too. There was no reminders from SS about that. Maybe it is payment bug related with tax form.

As I understand, if you are not a US citizen, the tax form can't expire on January of the year because:

How often do I have to submit a W-8?

A W-8 form is only valid for 3 calendar years, as per Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations.

I don't remember SS ever sending out a reminder email, Bigstock on the other hand, was asking for a new form every second year.

Their certificate is out of date to access the forum you have to click on the "advanced" button and select "accept risk proceed to site anyway."

Their probably too busy counting their cash to fix simple problems like this  ;D
Thanks.
In that case they don't deserve us to accept the smallest risk, there is not much to read there anyway, it's just a bad habit.

To all on this forum. Who is a competitor to Photoshop software. Is their any ?

Affinity Photo. Very good, one time price (not subscription based).

Also, if you want something similar to PS you can buy PS Elements on disc. If you want for video too, there is a PSE + Premiere elements bundle too (one time payment). If you decide for this, buy it from Amazon, it is easier and I had free shipping (of the disc) too: https://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Photoshop-Elements-2020-Premiere/dp/B07X4RR19R/ref=sr_1_2?crid=W4G5LO7W5SKO&dchild=1&keywords=adobe+photoshop+elements+2020+%26+premiere+elements+2020&qid=1602775159&sprefix=Adobe+Photoshop+Elements+2020+%2B%2Caps%2C295&sr=8-2

When customers download free content from Adobe, we have an opportunity to educate these usersmany of them new to stockabout licenses, copyright, and respect for artists content.

This is the part that hurts the most, they are talking to us like to idiots. Many people (social media) never heard/cared about copyright, in many countries copyright laws don't exist, what is there to educate?

However, they are making thieves' job much easier by legally downloading images and uploading them as their own to other agencies. It is happening all the time, portfolios consisting of free images taken from Unsp*ash, Pixa*ay, Pix*els.....were reported on SS several times but nobody cares.

I believe what you're looking for is this:

Go to your Dashboard.

In the top left corner click "Time Frame".

Then in the drop-down menu select "Lifetime".

To the right of that, you'll see your total downloads, earnings, and position.
Thank you Martha. That gives me the total numbers.
I forgot to mention that I wanted to see the graph to compare my older earnings with today's.

Thank you.

You can select past dates, but no more than 13 months in one go.

Their stats reporting is terrible and hasn't been improved in a long time (which leads me to believe they don't give this any priority), but you can get there if you do it year by year

Thank you Jo Ann. I couldn't never guess that I have to stitch all years together.
How original Adobe.

In the contributor Dashboard you have a link View My Statistics above the graph. There you can choose the period of datas you wish.


Thank you Blue. Maybe I am not looking in the right place, I know I could see it before but now it only shows the last 13 months:

Before you blow up the whole shutterstock, please consider that they have changed the whole pricing structures for customers, so now you can not say anything about how your income will look like after the changes they want to introduce.
Subscription plan is divided now into 4 new categories, and nobody of us knows a crap how those categories work.
And the same with 'on demand' section. Not mention other.
Check this out:

https://www.shutterstock.com/pricing


One thing is for sure: contributors with little portfolios of hundreds of pictures who have been earning just a little will be getting still less because of the new system.

The pricing page looks different on each continent/ country, this was discussed at SS forum, nobody knows why https://forums.submit.shutterstock.com/topic/100168-why-deactivating-is-a-mistake-at-least-for-me/?do=findComment&comment=1842858

Sorry if this was discussed before, I have this note on my dashboard to redeem my creative cloud code.
Is this for last year and automated for everyone? I haven't asked for it, so I don't know how it works?

It is the last year code, at least in my case. When I tried to use it, it has alerted me that it was already activated in the past.
Thank you.
