Adobe Stock / Adobe bonus program 2024
« on: May 02, 2024, 11:50 »
Does anybody know what has happened to the Adobe scheme where they buy the rights of your images for 12 months for 2024? I have not seen it mentioned anywhere? And how do you know if you still have imagines held by Adobe with them having full rights still from 2023? Thanks

My November sales were normal but my December sales were high, I see iStock still not showing number of downloads for February..

4
In terms of money;
Subscription earned non returned images $50.67
Credit Pack earned non returned images $25.25
Premium Access earned but returned -$73.03

Surely at least the subscription and credit pack earnings are safe as they were not returned and premium access should just be $0 as all images were returned but instead I only get $5 plus it is unlikely all my premium access sales were from only one company. Defo not convinced there is a problem and we all need paid for non returned images.

5
Regardless of the explanation there is a problem, I never go under $150 a month and feb it shows $5 for the month. I do not believe my warnings can drop like that and iStock owe a lot of money to a lot of people for February. Everyone should raise a ticket.

All my negative sales are listed as Washington too, must be an error somewhere

7
Im not convinced there is no error on the royalties this month, Ive never had negative sales before in 5 years and my usual consistent $200 a month has dropped to $5 this month :-o with premium access stating a negative 1750%! All looks a bit odd..

Be interesting to state ranking and earnings

I am getting emails daily now from Adobe with submission reviews, so mine have certainly sped right up! Also, the few months of a blip getting 90% rejections appear to have gone and back to normal 95% acceptance.......

I do stock as I enjoy photography and fresh air, can't see any enjoyment from doing AI.

Adobe rejecting by batch and not by individual image has become the norm, it started about 6 months ago. They need to stop using AI to review images, train their reviewers correctly or employ people who can do their job.

Is anyone going to opt in? And for what reason? I wont be as i can do a better job of key wording I believe plus I never upload direct to sites I used microstock plus which is based on you using your own keywords.

No payment

Adobe have serious issues which are preventing them from reviewing images in under a month and preventing them from not rejecting a whole batch at once, hopefully they sort their business methods out next year

Adobe has serious problems with reviews in the last 6 months, the height of laziness really, rejecting batches instead of single images, uploading 30 images individually as 30 separately 1 image batches gets passed this but is time consuming. Upload as 1 batch and Adobe reject all 30 images in one go......About time Adobe sorted this out.

Adobe are taking over a month to review images now or at least for me, I remember they took a few days!

Not to upload too many images in one go as they can have a habit of rejecting by the batch instead of by the individual image.

21
90% of my images are similar to previous uploads and as I use Microstock+ I can copy all keywords, titles, categories etc from previous uploads with 2 mouse clicks....

The annoying part is the batch rejection, its not like just one of 2 images are rejected like the good days, now a whole batch of 25 will be rejected. It is as if the reviewer rejects one image so rejects all 25, no other logical reason.

The same thing happened to me a few years ago. 18 images - all different kinds - many of which have always been accepted over the years - all 18 were rejected. I had included a few in an entirely new style for me, that I suspect the reviewer didn't like them so rejected the whole batch.

Ever since then, I have uploaded one image per batch at a time. It is much more time-consuming, but it's something I have to do to prevent the arbitrary rejections you discuss above.

Might give this a go, I think uploading a batch of photos to Adobe is no longer viable due to their ignorant reviewers

I know I'm way late to this game, but it's kinda fun making those AI images on Midjourney.

Which software did you use to increase the size / resolution?
