Announcing the Adobe Stock Model Tagger

Today we activated the Adobe Stock Model Tagger. This feature will help us gather data from your model releases.  We will use this data in search filters to improve our buyers user experience, and help surface diverse content.  The ethnicity, gender, and age metadata in titles and keywords will continue to be used for search relevance and remains unaffected by the Model Tagger information.
 
Here’s how to locate the Model Tagger: in the Releases section of the Contributor portal, you’ll notice a + sign next to a release.  Click on it, selecting whether it’s a model or property release.  For model releases, select the gender, age, and ethnicity at the time of the shoot.
 
We have scanned the model releases of all assets licensed at least once in the past two years.  As a result, you’ll see that many of your releases already have information about ethnicity and gender added.  We suggest clicking on the plus icon to add information about the model’s age.  In the future, we will scan all model releases upon upload for the ethnicity and gender information, which will be added automatically.

Let me know if you have any questions.
