Adobe to stop Stock Photos service

Adobe halts Stock Photos


Adobe will halt all operations for its royalty-free Stock Photos image repository as of April 1st, the company has announced. Some aspects will terminate earlier however, specifically the search and comp download features in Adobe Bridge, which will cease to function as of March 3rd. Remaining components, such as order histories, image purchase and re-downloading, will only stop on March 31st.

The company notes that while the licenses for Stock Photos images will not be invalidated after April 1st, attempting to secure more images from the same sources may prove difficult, as people will need to contact the original distributors themselves.

    Good Riddance

    Glad to see it go. Pushing this useless bloatware feature was a nuisance. I'd rather have several more functional features than that have my program trying to push stock photos on me.

    So Long... No Thanks

    with advent of iStockphoto and budget sites - why would you bother.

    The real stock websites have much better features for searching.

    Remove Cruft Please

    Dear Adobe, We are delighted to see you remove the Stock Photos software from your amazingly bloated Creative Suite. We certainly hope you also remove the code behind it. Your CS3 is HUGE! Illustrator alone stands at 500MB installed!

    Please have a look at well-coded programs and reduce your bloat and increase performance. We care a LOT more about you fixing bugs than introducing lousy features you will only kill off later.

    I stand for us all, Ralf S Wigguims, III
