This new plan sounds like one of our great government plans. As the Government says " We are here to Help "

Jo Ann if it is for one year that is a lot better. I did not hear that. Well we can change the rules of the game for one year. I still put my price point at $ 6 bucks.

This might be fun...lets have a guessing game . how much do you think Adobe paid the stock house's for free images. I have not heard if that paid price is for lifetime but for the purpose of this game lets say it is for lifetime for Adobe to giveaway. I guess six dollars an image which would be $420,000 for 70,000 images. What is your guess ?

A commercial on TV said "free-free-free-free-free".... everyone loses with free. If free images are resold , everyone loses. It is a numbers game. The more free images out there stolen or not the less likely you will sell your not so free images.

Here is my guess....you may never get the real numbers but I will give it a guess. I would guess it is $100 dollars to $ 1 on the money that Adobe makes on the cloud software. For ever $ 100 dollars they earn on cloud software they earn $ 1 dollar on stock photos. They really are and have always been a cloud software company. Maybe someone knows the real numbers of Software to stock photos. With giving away 100 good images a day stock photos can't be the end game. If Adobe makes it 100 images a day images why not just go unlimited images a day ?

I wonder if there is any Federal money or Federal incentive to Adobe with this program ?

If only I were Joe Biden's son Hunter. I would not need to work in photos. I would get millions from China and the Ukraine for doing nothing and having no knowledge/expertise of anything. Just my last name Biden.... But I am not a Biden and I need future image creation and fair pay.....

I just went on the Adobe Free section. I went through about 1000 images... 99% of these images are model/people images. Very good model/people images. If you shot models I would guess your sales will go to zero in the future. It will be interesting to see if Adobe adds more diversity to this collection with different types of images. One of the big contributors was Rawpixel.com. I do not know this photo house but very heavy on the typical stock model picture. Typical but very good images.

I'm guessing a lot less than the paying users who will now turn into free users.
That seems like the only reasonable thing to assume.
After all, if just by signing up at Adobe one can get 100 x 30 = 3,000 free photos per month x 12 = 36,000 free photos per year
Why on earth would one even bother looking at the other images that are not free???
Geez.
Why would anyone buy images on Shutterstock, Istock or any of the other sites when they can get over 30,000 free images a year on Adobe. This will hurt/damage image makers. It will grow the Adobe business. ....

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

Matt thanks, a fair answer. I do hope they lower the 100 a day...

Matt I do have a question. Why did Adobe choice 100 free downloads a day. That seems excessive to me. For free not to hurt stock contributors the 100 free images a day seems a lot. If someone wanted to create a free image collection they could conceivably get 36,400 images a year. In my opinion maybe 5 free images a day would be a better number. Then I am just an image maker and not the owner of Adobe. I do own some Wall Street stock in Adobe which has made some money for me....maybe this will get the Wall street Adobe stock growing....A full glass if you look at it in the right light.

Clearly everyone's work will not be free. But if I read correctly at 100 download images a day for free it will effect many of the sellers work. I guess it will help photoshop users as they can get images off the cloud for free. That is a great deal in creating work on Photoshop. (Free) Sounds like a good deal for Photoshop and maybe not so good for stock image creators.

Free....many years ago I put an image on Can Stock as a free image. it stayed free for nearly a year. I guess I could of ask them to take it down. It was a picture of a football on fire. I think it was given away to the tune of 15,000 times. I never got any more sales by having a free picture on Can Stock. Then Can Stock is third tier at best. I really think free dose not work. If free worked the hookers down by the dock would give it away free. Good luck Adobe....

Ah, that old chestnut... which you've got wrong! What you meant to say was was the 'mistaken belief that the Republicans were the slave owners', not the conservatives. It was always the conservatives who defended slavery, they just went by a different name back then.
Yeah, Southern Democrats?
Oh wait they traded an end to Reconstruction, and removal of Federal troops after the Civil War, for the Presidency, gave it to the Republicans. Those wonderful Democrats who didn't want to end slavery, didn't want equal rights, the same people who not only oppressed the Blacks but segregated them, blocked voting rights, and didn't want school integration.
The South had extra seats in the Electoral College because of its slaves. Yeah those slave owners again and the Democrats. Eight of the first nine presidential elections were won by candidates who were plantation owners from Virginia, then Americas biggest state. Note for those from other countries who like to dabble in being critical of American politics, Virginia was on the Confederacy side of the secession and the civil war.
The Republican Party, was founded in 1848 with the abolition of slavery as its core mission. Almost immediately after its second presidential candidate, Abraham Lincoln, won the 1860 election, Democrat-controlled southern states seceded on the assumption that Lincoln would destroy their slave-based economies.
After the Republicans dragged the South and the Democrats, by their heels, into equal legal rights for all American citizens, allowing blacks to vote and an end to segregation, then the Democrats suddenly became the party of the minorities? Wow what a bunch of hypocrites. They didn't desegregate the party until the middle 1960s.
Civil Rights Act of 1964: House support 61% Democrat, 81% Republican. Senate 69% Democrat, 82% Republican. Democrats in the same era were also against granting voting rights to Blacks.
Biden speaking in 1975, advocated continued school segregation in the United States, arguing that it benefited minorities and that integration would prevent black people from embracing their own identity.
Don't believe the re-writing of history, without looking at the documented facts.
Uncle Pete you are spot on....Great writing and the truth...Well stated....

I like this question. As I have not figured out yet what sells best. These two pictures I posted on stock about the same time which would be around 15 years ago. If you ask my neither one is really a good photo but with said the Octopus has made me on 12 different sites a total of $ 6000 dollars and the leopard skin has made me $25,000 total. I have a lot of photos that I think are good and have made very little money. i guess it is just all about luck and timing.

Never forget this summer with the peaceful demonstrators, rioters' and looters . Tens of thousands in many American cities , on many streets and inside stores (looting) without mask. Some of the looters did wear mask. Not much if any talk in the media about the spread of the virus by these folks. I guess if you riot and loot not much chance of spreading the virus.

I love the PONDS upload because of the ease. I have a few thousand images and maybe sell 3-5 images a year. Not sure why I keep uploading . I guess I am hopping for a miracle . The videos do sell on PONDS just almost no sales for stills.

I have been on FA for about four years. I made back my yearly subscription cost the first two years. I stopped paying the subscription fee the next two years and they keep my images online and they keep selling them. Making around 60 bucks a year with 1800 images. I could not upload new images without renewing the subscription. I just renewed it about three weeks ago and started uploading new items. We will see how this years goes.

Interesting but "about us" needs a lot more details ? Is this a type of Photo Union ? What are we signing up for ? Are you starting a new stock site ? How do you gain fair value for coalition members ?
The Stock Coalition is an industry body representing talented global photographers, illustrators, videographers, animators and other artists who contribute their work to agencies for distribution. Collectively, our work has been licensed millions of times by companies and individuals around the world.
Our goal is to ensure fair value and compensation for our collective creative works and to support agencies with strategies that align with these goals.
Our organization has had to form rapidly in response to one agency unilaterally changing their compensation agreement with contributors without any warning or consultation with catastrophic implications on the earnings for these contributors.
We have built a competent core management team to steer our organization and a constitution and full list of goals will be prepared in due course.

It is clearly worth the time to do the super words. I just made a $200 sell Friday. I wish I could make that everyday, but I do get 2-5 sells a month on Alamy. Very fair stock site...
