How to Upload Editorial to Adobe Stock
Adobe software such as Photoshop or Illustrator are likely familiar with “Adobe Stock.” This vast library of images and other assets can be licensed royalty-free.
Adobe Stock is an invaluable resource for graphic designers and offers many advantages, such as its seamless integration with Creative Cloud apps. Discover how to upload editorial content into Adobe Stock so that it works effectively for your designs.
Uploading photos
Adobe Stock offers a vast selection of stock photography, graphics, high-quality videos and Photoshop templates at reasonable prices. Not only is the service user friendly with an accessible pricing policy in place, but there’s also an impressive library of quality content to choose from.
Before uploading any photos to Adobe Stock, you must guarantee they meet its technical requirements. This includes file format, minimum and maximum sizes, as well as quality standards.
Once your files have been uploaded, it’s time to give them a title that accurately describes what they contain. Doing this helps potential customers quickly locate your images.
In addition to titles, you should also include keywords for your content in the contributor portal.
The site utilizes an intelligent auto-keywording feature that suggests up to 25 keywords automatically. When creating your image captions, consider including the subject matter, objects in the image and any relevant action words which might be critical for potential customers.
Adding metadata
When uploading images, it is essential to include metadata. Metadata helps search engines understand your images better, simplifies workflow and can assist in recognizing copyright-protected photos or illustrations.
Add metadata to image files using programs such as Adobe Bridge or Photoshop, which also offer batch editing options. With these programs, renaming files becomes much simpler.
Another option is to manually edit the metadata fields within a photo file itself. This can be accomplished by opening the image in a photo editor and changing values for each field, such as author’s name.
Most assets licensed through IU’s Adobe agreement come with an Education License, which grants faculty, staff and students the rights to use the asset in educational materials as well as royalty-free usage rights to it.
Adding releases
Adding releases to your photos can be advantageous for buyers who may wish to use them in commercial projects. Releases allow you to include recognizable people or properties in your images while safeguarding their rights.
Photographers, designers or freelancers who create Adobe Stock content should add releases to boost sales and diversify revenue streams. You have two options for doing this: upload the models’ and property releases online through the Contributor portal; alternatively you can send a scanned form through email with Acrobat Sign collecting signatures digitally.
Adobe Stock is an expansive library of over 40 million photos, illustrations and graphics that span virtually any topic imaginable. It provides high-impact creative content for print, web or mobile app projects.
Submitting photos
Adobe Stock provides millions of high-quality photos and illustrations from the world’s largest creative community. It is integrated into Adobe CC applications, so you can search for images without ever leaving the app you’re currently using.
The integration also makes it simple to locate and license images ideal for your project. You have the option of choosing either standard or extended royalty-free licenses.
Once your content is uploaded, be sure to add metadata (keywords and descriptions). You can do this in the Contributor portal or using Lightroom Classic or Bridge.
Metadata is essential for increasing an image’s searchability, and adding keywords that potential buyers will find beneficial is beneficial as well.
Adobe Stock is an excellent platform for artists to showcase their work and earn some extra cash. There’s no registration fee, and you can earn up to one-third of your sales price as commission.
