Author Topic: New generative AI features are coming to Adobe Stock (Read 1660 times)

Hello!

As mentioned in the recent blog post ( newbielink:https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2024/09/10/adobe-stock-continued-commitments-to-creators [nonactive]), Adobe Stock’s continued commitment to creators in the era of Generative AI, new generative AI features are coming to Adobe Stock, with the intent to increase licenses.

In the coming months, we plan to introduce new AI features that will enable Adobe Stock customers to adjust existing Adobe Stock content in real-time to more easily match their vision, style, or brand preferences and to increase license conversion. Bringing these AI features to the Adobe Stock collection increases the usability of an asset, which we believe will make it more likely to be licensed, increasing contributor earnings potential.

Licenses generated through each of the new features will appear as “custom” licenses in the Contributor Portal.

This should mean that a customer can pick one image as a starting point and inpaint, outpaint, switch background, etc. That's probably faster than starting from scratch with a long prompt. And that's great.

Well, if the starting point comes with a license offering the same royalties as a regular license, that would be even better!

excellent news!

This is great news, I am sure customers will love this feature!

What will the status of these new images be? For example could someone take an existing image and then AI it and submit it to their own portfolio or claim copyright to the new image?

I hope these new custom licenses are not for less than the existing licenses.

The title sounds so ironic, a kick in the teeth. But I am glad everyone is happy.

Are Adobe customers allowed to AI-modify Illustrative Editorial images as well?

I see an increasing number my editorial-use-only content sold as "custom" - can somebody explain what is the Adobe custom license? Does it ONLY refer to AI, or what is it exactly? Glad to see sales, but would like to know the details.

this is good news,because not only does it increase the possibility of sales,but it also says a lot about what the real intentions are for our future with Adobe.

try to compare this behavior with the behavior of other agencies that have completely cut us off from working or earning even with AI,and you can easily see the real difference and the real intentions between Adobe and other agencies.

shutterstock: "hey use our AI generator tool! it only generate bad images, but we dont need to pay our contributors hehe"

Adobestock: "hey, take this image and modify as you want with firefly, but dont worry, our contributor will get paid if you do that

"

Yes,they are 2 completely different policies.

inclusion policy for contributors in the long term and exclusion policy in the long term.

those who do not produce AI content are happy with other agencies because they do not accept AI content,they are happy not to have to compete with AI and not have long review times for example.

Unfortunately,however,they don't realize the path that this agencies have taken,for now it's fine,we'll see in a few years.

this is my clear impression and opinion,then maybe I'm wrong,but I see this clearly.

The missing piece of information is the amount that you’re going to be paid for using images or video as a starting point for AI modification.

It could be a very low amount. Or not.

Nice that Adobe plans well in advance. I already mentioned a half year ago Adobe should add more AI functions like inpaint / outpaint with real stock photos. In the long term they should integrate some light Adobe Photoshop functions in a web based app.

Actually they also should add the function to generate with other open source models since firefly can't match the pace of it's competitors and sucks a lot even at easy motifs. At the end it's the reason why they add the inpaint / outpaint function.

Adobe would be dumb if they would lower much the commissions. Classic images still are generating the mass of the revenue. You would only scare away your current top performers.

What will be really interesting is when they start adding video/image animation tools directly to their website.

Suddenly there will be a huge a mount of base image files available for designers to use and also existing videos can be amendable with ai.

And obviously that will bring additional money.

All these tools should be directly on the site, so people don't need a photoshop subscription, but obviously it would be a lot cheaper if you did...

The really, really interesting things when designers can start mixing their own images with stock content for unique story telling.

Bringing photos, especially older photos to life as videos is amazing with ai.

The longer I think about it, the more critically I view it. At first, I also thought this was a great feature, and for the downloaders, it definitely is. But I fear that downloaders will now search less, and won’t go as far back in the lists. So far, they have been looking for images that more or less perfectly match what they want. Now, it will be enough if they are somewhat suitable, and then the images will be adjusted accordingly. Therefore, I fear that only the top creators, who rank high in search queries, will benefit from this. The further back you are, the more difficult it will become. It’s already like that now, of course, but instead of clicking through to page 5 to find something, the downloaders will settle for pages 1-2, and that will be good enough. Just my 2 cents, but i am new into this, maybe I am wrong.

Does anybody know?

Injustice for all · « **Reply #16 on:** September 30, 2024, 00:41 »

No,I really don't think that illustrative editorials can be edited with AI by customers.

And no,I wouldn't worry about customer searches.

These new generative AI features will only bring benefits for everyone,making content more versatile.

fotoVoyager · « **Reply #17 on:** September 30, 2024, 01:14 »

I hate to be cynical but the history of the stock agency - artist relationship should be screaming a warning to you all. There’s no way the source material for an AI edited download will be paid at the same rate as a traditional download. They’ll call it something that sounds like it’s not a proper download and pay you a fraction of what you were getting before. It’s always worked like that, this will be no different. We will wail and gnash our teeth in frustration and then accept our powerlessness just like every time before.

iStock already has this feature to modify stock images with AI and they price it at $24.99 for 100 generations.

But the customer needs to license the image first with their subscription or credits.

Unlikely that the contributor gets any revenue from the modifications, but they still get the payment for their original image.

fotoVoyager · « **Reply #19 on:** September 30, 2024, 06:53 »

That's true about the iStock version of this scheme.

I hope I'm proved wrong about other agencies.

That is an interesting take on this, and quite possibly correct (assuming the Ai modification is quick and easy and good compared to searching more for an image that fits the requirements better). I guess that means that we will be even more at the mercy of the search algorithm and getting onto the top of page one will be even more critical for sales, unfortunately a positive feedback system which is good if you "win", but otherwise not so much. Also, I wonder what will make an image good for AI modification and how important that will become in the future.
