Its like the dead parrot in a cage from the Monty Python shows.  ;)

Adobe Stock / Re: Ai creates Artwork - how to upload?
« on: July 06, 2022, 22:54 »
Neat tool but I only see this tool creating "good enough" avatar graphics and not something you would sell on MS. Besides wouldn't that be cheating/stealing? I mean you are using other people's work.

I wonder when they're going to bother doing something about their old website entrance?  https://www.canstockphoto.ca/auth/login/
Its still just sitting there after they made their announcement and collecting dust and spiders.  ;D :P

Don't forget to look beyond stock. Its a sunk ship after all. If you try and experiment with other eCommerce/part time income stuff you might find something better and you'll be better off then getting 10 cents or less.

General Stock Discussion / Re: Where to now?
« on: June 01, 2022, 23:11 »
Lots of people are experimenting with other side/supplemental or full time pursuits. You just need to find one that suits you best.

32
Also, don't forget that now Paypal charges a fee in some countries if you don't have any activity for over a year.  :(

33
Its not just one idiot running some country and not just two, its all of those elites running any country and parasitically enjoying our "we the people" money. They are all the same. Sadly. They take after animals. Alphas always get the best and we get whats left. Would be nice if people would just "grow up" But I think people won't. Those that have the money will fight to keep it that way. Too much of a good thing I guess.
Remember we are their puppets and pawns.  ::)

Print on Demand Forum / Re: Etsy Strike
« on: April 12, 2022, 17:03 »
Yeah heard about this on he news.
Probably not going to be in favor of the artists and crafters no matter what people demand. Look what happened to Elance, Shutterstock and others? 

Unless people really do something to change this. Only having a few protesters won't make much happen so long as the CEO'S have the bucks and the layers.  ::)

35
How about foreign collusion? Lots of that going around too besides the war.

Its also really annoying too. You try to make a valid honest comment in Twitter and someone comes in and calls it a "witch hunt" from China. I mean come on, we all know the truth. Who are you fooling?  ??? :P

I think you have to get special permission to upload 3D stuff. But Mat can let you know for sure.

Isn't that just another Behance? 🤔

Copying Vista print I see? 🤔

General Stock Discussion / Re: Current photo/art project?
« on: October 25, 2021, 23:03 »
Working on a personal experimental project. A children's book. I've written and now currently drawing out the illustrations for it. About done with all the character parts. Only a few more to do with the finally at the end. The illustrations will be coloured with mixed media and then some digital enhancements will be used for touch up and layout work.  :)

41
Or you can get a friend and make pics for you or if you have some experience take them your self. Lots of options.  :)

You can still access the "a" link by going to the support center. Just scroll all the way down and you see a tiny link. But then who knows they may get rid of the whole thing eventually cause why not. "We have social media"

Probably temporarily out of service/ out of sight and or hacked. But technically its still there.  Meh..what ever.

Shutterstock.com / Re: Shutterstock put ad banner in the Dashboard
« on: September 15, 2021, 22:46 »
Meh. These days they are like a drug house while in the past they were this grand place with a great reputation. Now its all about cheesy ads and a spamed up forum. The place is a "DUMP!"☹️

45
I think I seen it in the FAQ recently when I was doing a bit of personal research. So far nothing is better then PayPal. ☹️

Still figuring out my situation regarding this new policy in PayPal. Looks like the internet is becoming more and more unaccessible to those who are not well off. A total opposite to what was to happen.

General Stock Discussion / Re: Original Goal vs Current Goal
« on: September 13, 2021, 22:55 »
I had always pictured this as a side income/add on but now its not even enough for lemonade thanks to greed on both sides. So Now I'm trying other things more or less. But I guess its not a bad thing.  Just another stepping stone. Just like the water in between the stones, at times can be scary.

47
For some reason I saw "PigMonkey" Maybe that could be their new name? LOL :P
Anyways, thanks for the info.  To me over all this company merger is more like "PacMan" gobbling up more pellets to make more of a monopoly for its self.

Illustration - General / Re: regarding older Adobe software.
« on: August 30, 2021, 23:47 »
Yeah but then how will your system stay safe from getting hacked and other?
 
The only way I can think of is having those things on another computer that doesn't go on the internet. Then that would solve that issue. Other then that , yet another pain in the @ss to deal with.

Illustration - General / regarding older Adobe software.
« on: August 30, 2021, 22:38 »
Those who use older software, should we be concerned?
Found this thread conversation intriguing and concerning.

Sample post Aug 28, 2021"Also, expect your perpectual software to stop running sometime soon because Apple or Microsoft will change the system and it will no longer run. Plan for subscriptions."

Thoughts?

Photography Equipment / Re: Night Sky - Star Photos
« on: August 24, 2021, 23:24 »
Beautiful! Love all those shots. Regarding those humming birds, great shot just hope you get some more colourful ones in the future.  Birds and butterflies truly hard to photograph. I tried a few times my self and really its a "chite or miss" opportunity.  Managed to get a interesting shot of a dove of mine in the beginning of a takeoff with an old style digital "point and shoot" camera. Sadly Millhouse which was his name is no longer around due to some kind of autoimmune thing.  But I still have many other pet doves with me. 😊💕
I don't sell stock photos really, but just like to take some nice pics and also use them for reference. Thanks to people who do stock, I have learned a lot to improve my shots with what ever I have.  :)
