Hi Mat I received a quote last year December Ive not used it yet and tried this morning but it told me its expired. Ive never used the code before. Maybe I'm being too impatient but I wanted to ask. I had my last batch of images accepted over a week ago and now have over the 300 required images accepted for 2019. I haven't heard anything from Adobe yet so I was wondering if I need to just be patient and wait longer or if there's anything additional that I need to do.
Thanks!
Bonus codes are sent out in waves and are not issued immediately when you reach the threshold. If you met the requirement, we'll send you a code shortly.
Kind regards,

Yes this seems like a get rich quick scheme for the owner of the site. Realistically its all about the owners and not the contributors. I tried to upload some photos to them, because they contacted me on IG. But you don't have any account or stats.. you have to rely on them emailing you if get a sale.. and I wouldn't trust that. Haven't had one email and my photos are on the first page of some of the search results. To me the owner(s) feels like someone trying to get som fast money for themselves by cheating on the contributors, after watching some videos and interviews about the site.

I just got a response from Alamy, "Our contributors are responsible for the content they supply to us and it is their responsibility to ensure any keywords, captions and other accompanying information related to their images are accurate. As you are aware these images have been supplied to us by EyeEm. As you have an agreement with them and the images may be available through other platforms they will be best placed to address the issue so please reach out to them directly to resolve this issue. This will ensure that the relevant credit is provided on Alamy as well as any other platforms which the images have been made available to." I would prefer it to show under Eyeem than a individual who is not the photographer. Me too, I had the same thing.
I contacted EyeEm and they responded it will take some time for the change to appear.
Maybe they initially submit our pics to partners under one EyeEm name and when the process concludes this changes and credits back to our details.
I am still waiting to see when the change happens with my name attributed to my image.

It seems the photographer is someone from Eyeem, they might have submitted the images under that persons name but it doesnt sound right I found this image on eyeem https://www.alamy.com/sam-jam-session-2017-image269818639.html and just found another one with some other photographers name under the listed name of photographer?
Contact Alamy immediately.

I can definitely see Adobe is growing. We need that one agency that treat contributors fair and that one will see the most growth. I feel at the moment a lot of agencies are playing with contributors share of the revenue in making silly deals like unlimited downloads for x amount.

Lots of 4 and 5 cent subs.

Thanks for that info. Derby: usually the credit ones are not that bad hahaha compared to the "istock subs"
Rushay: https://esp.gettyimages.com/ --> content statistics ---> performance --> downloads --> click on the "+" for each picture to know the details
ShadySue: that was truth for me but in SS

You can see now in the app and esp which pictures were sold. No statement yet but since you can see how many are subs, getty and credits, you can make a wild guess :p. Good luck
How do I see which ones are subs/Getty? I can only see number of downloads. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

i hear u. Need something light though Semi offtopic answer.
"Don't be a beta tester!"
The last time I bought a "hot" action product was Session 4.
Just to experience the huge price drop afterwards,
just to have 2K instead of next model (session5) 4K
just to realise that a future battery upgrade is hard...
just...
just...
Here is a personal preference. Buy every component individual.
In your case an action camera and a separate gimbal.
You can choose from a variety, low or high price, waterproof or not,
handheld or chest mounted, etc.
If camera fail (or want an upgrade) you can keep the gimbal if satisfied.
If the gimbal fail or crash, you still have the camera to use.
Individual camera gives you the freedom to detach the camera from gimbal
and use whatever accesories you wish to mount in car, glass, bike etc.

I would like to know if anyone here uses the DJI Osmo pocket to shoot stock footage and how does it rate overall?

Yes they gave a bonus which was nice and the price per image is similar to the $2 it was minus tax deductions. Yes i got that too, even in my app it is always showing "subject to applicable royalty withholding tax",
...Ok i understand that, my country does not have a tax treaty with the U.S or Australia, but i get tax deduction on SS only when the customer is also from the U.S, but how does Envato deduct taxes?
I have to say that i earned noticeably more for April but got 40$ withheld for taxes
Same. Buyer from Australia... tax withheld. Not from Australia, no tax withheld. As for the noticeably more... did you read the announcement? They gave a welcome bonus to everyone and have increased the commission rate.

Envato acquired Twenty20. I am not sure if their relationship are active but i've been seeing a increase in downloads. How can it get any worse than gettyimages?
These people gave my files away for free over 1.3 million times...
I'd say for now I have more faith in twenty20. Whatever you potentially accuse them of, Getty has already done to thousands of producers.
It is not a major player anyway, they are a tiny outfit. They are not going to be the next Shutterstock.
But they have a really lovely gallery system, the most useful I know from any agency.

How do you complete multiple releases for a series instead of having to do a release for each photo?

That is awful. Aren't they exclusive too? Better off just doing SS and AS at that rate.
They not exclusive, they changed to a new system where they allocate money to the amount of images use per month and split that with their monthly cost based on your images use. It just sounds like a ripoff to me. Especially when you giving client unlimited downloads. This monthly i basically made the same amount as last month with double the amount of sales as the previous month.

Twenty20 needs to be upfront with us not this user share crap, tell us straight you gonna pay us 25c per image or whatever the case. Sold 19 last month made $27 sold 36 this month made $29. 11 sales, exactly 11 dollars.

Thanks for that info For an agency? Each may have their own requirements. Since this thread does not mention one by name perhaps ask their (your) support staff?
If it were me and you were speaking about the (a) model release I'd want one that clearly shows the talent. Same for a property or trademark release.
There are also some apps that make it easy which incorporate the talent image into the release itself. I still use the iOS app "Easy Release"
