But at other sites, this information is right there in front of your nose.  On the Adobe Stock site, it's buried under several clicks, plus the Adobe Site is slow slow slow.

And while I liked the instant email, I'm fine with a daily one for the previous day.  That's what Pond5 does and it works well and their email is formatted very nicely with ALL sales listed, not just the TOP SELLER. 

I'm saying I have yet to even get my Adobe Stock daily email despite having sales the previous day.

I can see the notification on FT but no email received today either and it is almost evening here.

It's a top request since ever. Is it too hard for a big tech company like Adobe to put that? Event depositphotos.com has it

DP is one of the most contributor friendly sites concerning layout, navigation and speed. I would be happy if AS could ever accomplish half of that.
Instead of making it easier, things work backwards, like the time-frame on statistics and now the delay of email notifications.

No worries you don't have to watch the video! Bottom line is this. SS is going the way of Getty in a lot of ways the only real way to survive in this market is to produce really high end content! They don't care if a few people pull their clips or complain some. Now in order to make a difference you have to have your voice heard! So if you are upset here then you need to contact them and give them your thoughts. The more people that do that the better.

Do you really think that SS will select footage by quality or number of sales? I don't think they will waste time doing that, they will offer everything HD and bellow to this new market as they did with the $1.5 sales.

Besides, there are many HQ videos that didn't sell on SS but do very well on other agencies.

Buyers will buy what they need, regardless of quality, just like with images.

This will kill the video market for contributors.

I only heard about Foap this week. My only doubt is about the personal information thay ask you to become "verified". They ask you to grant acces to your paypal account and have all kind of personal data taken from there, such as address, birthday and others...it never occured to me that any other agency ever asked me more than my paypal mail for paying me. What do you think about this? I'd like to give them a chance but this is really bugging me

Asking for access to your paypal account should be sending major red flags up! Are people really that desperate to sell images? OMG

I don't think my English is very good. Does throwing up red flags mean I shouldn't join Foap?

Something is not clear in the statement I colored in red. The only way I know to give them access to your PP data would be to give them your PP password too and for that PP would terminate your account.

So Jafo, if they are asking for your PP email address, you can give it to them but not your PP password.

Hi everyone,

I just got some files approved but FT is closed, as you all know.

While I can live with seeing just a thumb of my images, I would like to see my videos in action.
Is there a way to see our videos playing on Adobe site? I can't find it, I can only see the thumbnail of the video.

Thanks for any help.

I've found it but now I have another question: when I go to my port on buyer site, the images in my port are in a random order and I don't see how to filter by new (at least).
This is how the menu looks like for me:

My thoughts, I feel such a fecking fool.  Until I got to No. 2 I thought you were serious and then the stinger, you got me there.

I was serious, what is wrong with my no. 2?
If categories are obsolete anyway, we shouldn't use them at all.

Just because it is obsolete in your head it dosen't mean that nearly a third of your global audience sees it that way, and the rest find the nativity scene cute anyway.

I didn't say it is obsolete, I said IF it is obsolete.

If you have an answer to the main problem of this thread, as in the title, I am glad to listen.

If you just woke up on the wrong side of the bed, please go be rude some place else.

I uploaded seven images on November 13 to the Adobe, for the first time using the portal. They were approved but three of them are not mirrored on my Fotolia portfolio and the search engine can't find them either on Fotolia.

I reported it to FT, no answer yet but later I realized that this must be an AS glitch, so now I reported it to AS too (waiting).

My question to fellow contributors: is this happening to someone else too, do you check each time if the images are mirrored on FT?

I've read here on this forum that uploading to AS is faster and easier than FT.
I am very disappointed with the upload process and I would mention two problems that could be better (in case anyone listens):

1. If you have more than 50 keywords, which happens once in a while, AS cuts down the last ones without giving the chance to choose which one to delete.

2.If there are no subcategories, at least there should be more meaningless categories, for example,  for Christmas images  the category "Religion" is totally inappropriate IMO, even the world "holidays" would be more expressive.

Your thoughts?

P.S. I got a lightning fast answer from AS Support, thank you. They "reindexed" my missing images and now they show up on FT too.
The question remains, do we have to check this all the time?

No Fotolia!!!!  I cant get in there at all now??  whats happening??

I couldn't sign in right after this announcement , I had to agree to the new, updated TOS of FT first. Have you done that?

I appreciate your feedback and can assure you the team will read your comments.

Regarding your first note..if you click the Adobe Stock icon in the upper left corner that will take you back to the Dashboard.

Thank you very much for your answer Mat.

So you're saying she doesn't really know what's going on, you do, opening the account, including helping her make things, editing, uploading, submitting. In effect it's your second account, because she doesn't do any of the work, except maybe some parts of drawing?

Are you serious?
It is nobody's business who helps whom, I can pay somebody to edit my images if I want to. In fact that is what factories do too. I think this happens in many families and I don't see anything wrong in this, besides SS doesn't know about this.

So what if he uploads and submits for his aunt? Others are using Stocksubmitter, what is the difference?

The only thing that SS can see is the IP address which shouldn't be a problem on its own.

There must be some common elements in the work itself.

There are thieves reported all the time who build up entire portfolios from stealing others' work and SS is not able to detect them but it is very vigilant when these inexplicable "suspicious" activities occur.

Hi there,

Just your name and email address you've registered with Alamy under.

Thanks

James
Hi James,

Email sent, thank you James.

Alamy do give quite a bit of info on their sales on licence types sold...more than any other sites.... I just got a DACS payment I just look on it as a bonus I'm sure I could spend days working it out so I'm happy they take a percentage.

Yes, I understand, this is the full half of the glass. However, if I look at the 100% DACS amount, it makes up 50% of my two years (poor) earnings. Maybe, those many unreported sales are not random, just saying.
