If I rememeber correctly, in the past, I got the PS+LR yearly subscription before the codes arrived, and I became subject of some early termination fee. I had to call customer service and convince them to switch my account to the all apps version without losing money.

I'm so glad for the good news but, once again, the change in criteria counts me out, as I fall short of the required 6k downloads for all apps. (Same happened when the criteria changed from 500 uploads).

I think I'm maybe going to let the full program go, and just take the free option for Photoshop/Lightroom, as I'm otherwise unable to benefit. My question is whether last years' code is still valid, and can I add this before receiving this years' code. If so, where can I find it?

Alternatively, can there be some kind of discount for those of us that want the full program but just miss out on the qualification? It feels like there is a group of us simply not benefiting in any way and just paying our monthly subscription regardless of the generous offer that Adobe is making.

Wow thanks Mat and Adobe Team!!!

Got over 4000 downloads and 26 new uploads in 2022, so it looks good

. At the same time I deleted a few images in 2022 (they went somewhere else for exclusive usage), so I hope those don't count into the amount of new uploads, otherwise I might be below 20

Nobody has yet. Read the post literally 2 above yours.

Best option likely to pay for a month or two while you wait.

The bonus codes have not been distributed yet.

Hello Mat,
Can you please tell us when the redeem codes are available? My photoshop subscription is about to expire next week, so I would really appreciate to know when the codes are available. Thank you in advance for your reply.

U can't buy Photography plan only for 1 or 2 months. You can pay monthly, but you are committed to subscribe it for 1 year. So once you buy it, u can't cancel it for 1 year

You can still redeem your free code after 2 months and don't have to pay for the rest of the year ( + 2 months)

I've qualified for this in the past but never used it - either my computer wasn't up to speed or it was too much trouble to bother. I didn't submit anything during 2021 so could't qualify for 2022. Last year I decided to submit some images just to qualify for this program so I can see how different the current version of PS is compared to my old CS4 version - which still works as long as I don't update my computer too much. Was glad to see this continued and hope to try it out one of these days. Adobe is the only agency that is increasing sales lately and therefore the only one really worth contributing to ATM.

even for those were that is true, another question is whether other sources are remaining steady - eg my SS sales are consistently 2-3 times AS sales. so it's worth continuing to submit to more than AS even if that margin was narrowing. not submitting to other sites just makes it a self fulfilling prophecy

Is your portfolio the same size at SS and AS?

I can see it's 47,340 at SS but at AS you can only see the first 10k of anyone's portfolio.

If the port size is substantially different, it would be more accurate to adjust the sales for the site with the larger portfolio to make a like-to-like comparison.

true, my AS is about 1/2 that on SS, but my submissions are mostly the same, so what i'd really need to know is what % of total actually sell. is AS rejecting images that won't sell on either site? i dont know that, or even have an estimate, so size to size isnt any more accurate with so many more unknowns

There is actually no such robust and high end software(s) other than the apps of Adobe Creative Cloud.
I have experimented on many but have reverted back. So good luck to you.

One more weird situation is when people are actually moved to another country. What's about them?

Matt, can you clarify if there will be no codes for Russian contributors?
And what about those who moved to another country? How can they get the codes? What is needed to prove relocation?

They must have done it. It's just common sense.
It's not in Adobe's interest to contribute to Putin's propaganda or seen as fueling his criminal war machine.

Putin's propaganda already have a wide variety of options. From third-party resellers and buyout licenses (yes!) to de facto legalized piracy.
But you are talking about your colleagues, microstock contributors, who just want to do things right. Remember, codes are distributed inside the industry. How can you imagine propaganda on the Adobe Stock, for example?
