Out of curiousity, if people are convertiing AI PNG images to illustrations , how are you doing this?

One AI I had not heard about before, Lexica art, built on stable diffusion and returning high end images, check the pricing though. You can begin to understand the 'game changing' talk about this new technology.

Did you submit those Dale-E 2 images as photos or illustrations?

Thanks

I assume Getty and SS are only removing images which specifically state that AI has been used. 'Getty Images will rely on users to identify and report such images'

I have been amazed at some of the results though some faces are very poor. It needs fairly detailed instructions to work. The more details the better. I would think that Adobe will need to up their game quickly. This software is still in its infancy. It can only get better. I think graphic designers are more likely to be affected than photographers but. presumably they will adapt to Dall 2 and incorporate it in thheir designs.   

The image downloads as a PNG file. It can be upscaled in PS to the required size. It can also be saved as a JPG.   

Has any stock agency decided to accept/reject AI generated images? Its only a matter of time before thay are inundated with them anyway.

I only upload images of birds/bees/flowers to Adobe. I have no idea what constitutes editorial there. It is hardly beyond them to clarify what they consider editorial to be.

what about a question like 'would you be prepared to buy other peoples images'?

Thanks sue, that explains it.

I notice that the visitors I get on FAA seem to come from a small number of cities in the US and China.

Adobe might be better out of the stock photo business. I presume their main business is software. If stock image prices continue to plummet, fewer photographers will need adobe software. A calculated gamble on their part, alienating their software buyers.

It's a great achievement.

maybe they think you are spying on them?

Has anyone here ever bought a portfolio and if so how did it work out.

zilch, zero, none

First of all, its a great tool, It really works well, even in relatively complicated skies. I doubt using them could affect your stock images-they are hardly revolutionary examples of the sky. The main issue you would run up against is the small number of sky examples provided in PS. However if you are concerned about that there is a way of adding your own skies.

Great achievement all the same. If I submitted those they would be rejected for being out of focus. Before I suspended my SS account I came to the conclusion that SS had gone to war with their contributors and yet this slips through.

Yay do accept editorial images try live chat if you are having difficulties.

Has anybody sold anything there lately?
