Adobe Stock Licensing is too Slow

[mgsummer]

Dear Adobe - Licensing each image inside Photoshop is amazingly inefficient and frustrating. I rightclick license, a pop up window asks "do you want to license the image?" Uhh, yes. Then it takes 5-7 seconds to license, then another 10-15 seconds to download thanks to your throttling... Seriously?!

Are you performing any user testing? That's rhetorical of course.  If this is not fixed I'm going back to Shutterstock, I can download images into a folder and work much faster.

Is Adobe Stock integration about efficiency for the user or just revenue for shareholders?

You name it. Other users are complaining that it is to easy to license via the website. Did you try to do the (mass-)licensing via the website? Obviously the 20 seconds is not important if you license only one picture but if you license 20 in a row...

I'm also looping in EvilBugQueen1​ for expert advice.

Thanks Abambo. There is mass licensing? I've looked and cannot find this, any info is appreciated thanks.

There is no function like that, but as your description, you're trying to license a bunch of files at once. That's what I would call mass-licensing. It may be or it may not be faster to do that via the web interface. I license a picture one by one and rarely more than a picture in a row. So I even did not remark any delay if there is.
