Microstock Services / Re: AI metadata generation options?
« on: April 15, 2025, 15:20 »
I have been getting meta data ideas for free from

https://www.pixify.io/studio/free-ai-keywording-tool
 
I upload a medium sized png thumbnail, usually 5% of actual size of the pic. Rarely it takes a 10% of size of pic for it to clearly see it.
Within a minute or so it brings me back title, description and keywords.
You can choose standard or optimized for Getty/Istock.
Then I customize it to make it even better and more exact.
My fave site so far. Helps save me time and come up with more diverse metadata

Adobe Stock / Re: Adobestock Review Time
« on: October 24, 2024, 17:19 »
Early September 2024 I had a batch of about 10 hand drawn black and white grayscale illustrations in AdobeStock accepted within 2 weeks or so.

I got the email too. I looked in Shutterstock earnings and it was just under ready for payout. So, I checked Bigstockphoto and just passed payout amount so I requested payout and it's in the system to payout now.
Based on past experiences and comments above I think it does seem less of a bug and I would think they are trying to clear out the payments in order to close and be absorbed into Shutterstock. As an above post said they haven't accepted uploads for a long time.
It would seem it coming that Bigstockphoto absorbed / added into Shutterstock as Fotolia was absorbed into AdobeStock.

What do you think about https://haveibeentrained.com/ tells your content scraped for AI?
Just heard about it today from 2 sources and at The INSANE Print On Demand News Nobody Is Talking About, 11:47 minute video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAN1SX9lUcM&list=WL&index=9&t=339s
by Wholesale Ted
Seriously: NOBODY talking about Midjourney's copyright lawsuit news, or how Zazzle has been sued for hundreds of millions of dollars!
I'm surprised so much of my content was scraped and I'm not a big player!
Sounds like more class action lawsuits of some resolve!?
I put in my most used by name in offering stock pics and vids and it found the most. Harder to find by main specific ideas so far

General - Stock Video / Re: 1080p video still worth to produce?
« on: November 12, 2023, 18:21 »
My 1080p video still sells well.

I would not click on the link.
I have never had a site say they reset your password.
They have always said something like when if a suspicious situation like that did come up it was up to me to change my password. 123RF did this once. I don't remember other sites.
I would contact the site directly through your trusted past emails or contact within site to confirm what is going on.

I think the AI created looks like rubbish. Nothing can actually replace the real truth. Love can not be faked

11
I think nothing will truly replace the spirit and the soul of a human without seeming like a fraud somehow eventually!

I decided to opt out of future RedBubble payment structure because it seemed like another company I didn't like so I decided to close my account. I give credit to RedBubble for paying out less than $5. account with electronic payment! Thank you RedBubble.
If I ever reconsider you'd be a first considered! Thanks

Pond 5 Exclusive ...really exclusive sale :(  for time lapse priced HD $79 sold for $1.68
I can sympathize with you, this shouldn't be happening! I'm non exclusive on Pond5 but today I got a little over a $1. royalty for a video listed at $50. How did this happen? Just ridiculous! How do I opt out of this type of yuk scraping the barrel on royalties? I would usually get a minimum of $10 to $25 for half of sale!!! It has been licensed a few times before.

Here is a simple query of the keyword "svg" https://www.etsy.com/search?q=svg
Or
svg dog https://www.etsy.com/search?q=dog+svg

Thanks Charlene. Not my type of work.

15
I've never sold images on Etsy but I do license my images through the stock sites. Can you link some examples of stolen digital images on Etsy just in case I might see some of mine? Thanks Charlene

General - Top Sites / Re: Masterfile?
« on: November 12, 2022, 19:47 »
Used to be part of Crestock who somehow seemed to be acquired by MasterFile
http://www.crestock.com/blog/news/crestock-acquired-by-masterfile-corporation-189.aspx
and they seemed to go bankrupt and was bought out by designpics
https://www.stockphotosecrets.com/news/masterfile-crestock-acquired-by-design-pics.html
Crestock sold to masterfile and sold to designpics said they would not pay me my earned $45 in royalties just $5 short of $50 payout because of bankruptcy.
I didn't trust them to not go bankrupt again so I left them.

Clipdealer is a partner of Depositphotos.

Example you can customize.
ClipDealer, I am requesting deletion of all my pictures and videos.

My username is .

The first 3 letters of my password are

This is in regards to as you state on your (Clipdealer) site,

"How can I delete my account at ClipDealer?

You can cancel your account and all your media with a 6-month notice period from the end of the month in question. Please send your termination to with your username and the first three letters of your password.

MicrostockSubmitter / Re: Clipdealer
« on: October 20, 2022, 20:40 »
Began not trusting Clipdealer them years ago when they delayed payment of my royalties.
I contacted another company who I license through and do trust located in Germany and told them about my experience. They contacted him and I finally got paid a little while later minus a little bit of money maybe missing or because of refunds? , but, not enough to make a fuss.
My account was then closed.
I then noticed my pictures were still on their site including newer ones I never uploaded to them. So I asked Clipdealer and they said they get my pictures through being a partner with Depositphotos.

22
Congratulations. I had an extra good day on the 4th.

Just noticed tonight when researching ideas that Shutterstock has added new ratings on each picture in Popularity, Usage and Trendsetter values?
I can see why they do it, gearing more eyes to best sellers. It can inform copycats as a downside.
What do you think of it? I have not noticed it on any other sites yet...
I don't see it happening on videos yet...
It is interesting seeing shutterstock ratings of these 3 areas. I'm still trying to understand it and I ask Shutterstock to please share your rating recipe more

« on: September 01, 2021, 20:38 »
I've always had no problem getting payouts. My last was 6-30-2021.
They are usually very responsive.
Keep trying.
