Canva / Re: Canva Tax Forms
« on: November 30, 2023, 01:00 »
Well, they wrote "Starting December 1, 2023, we will be asking you to register...". If only contributors would read their emails before the complain...

The month's payment arrived at the normal time. If you have not received yours, you should contact the company.

I did. Do you ever read the posts before yours before you make assumptions and write a condescending reply?

And there WAS a problem with paypal payments in EUR!

General Stock Discussion / Re: Freepik acquiring EyeEm?

I was able to log in this morning BEFORE the email was sent. Probably just too many users using the site at the same time causing the problems now...

31
Interesting. What is the "fixed amount"?

32
Then people would just not mention the artist name in the title - They'd still use it for promting. Same difference.

Exactly, they will acknowledge that its wrong to use those names in titles and tags but wont acknowledge that is wrong to copy all those artists.

And you think that human illustrators or photographers do not copy other artists?

33
unless you pay for the private room everything on midjourney is public.

Isnt that the same with Dall-E?
And with Stable Diffusion (unless you run it on your own computer)?

Canva / Re: Canva July sales are in, and it's not good
« on: August 12, 2023, 11:47 »
Also a 40% drop for me. And I "lost" around 200 images as well... Anybody else had images deleted (without being told) ?
How do you see what they have deleted?

You can only see the total number at canva.com/p/yourusername. I cant see what the deleted.

Seeing photos on the huge screen - and, surprisingly for genAI, readable text -

The screen display is clearly NOT AI generated.

Don't feed the troll.

They kept word, and after closing down their Slack, they now re-established direct dialogue with their contributors by opening up a Discord community. Every contributor should have gotten a mail (check your spam) with the invite link.

No, not every contributor is invited. Here's what their support had to say:

Thanks for contacting us.
The Wirestock Discord Server is a closed community and creators can join only through an invitation.

To be exact the checkbox says:
"I allow users to use my media for free, even for commercial purposes, without further attribution or compensation to me"
For media submitted for Free License distribution:

    I allow users to use my media for free, including for commercial purposes, without further attribution or fee to me.

Yes, "For media submitted for FREE (!!!) License distribution". Just don't submit to the free section. You can choose PREMIUM on the next page.
For me is absolutely clear :) If is submitted for Free it is for free this why I add first line for people who do not read all text. This is example how hoax is starting ;)

Exactly.

Well, you clearly can't see very well...

Have you tried to upload AI?
Selecting AI category there is a checkbox down under the page, and you HAVE to check it. It says that you agree to give it for the free section. And it's necessary to check it to proceed.
And it's different from photos upload.
So maybe it's you that clearly can't see very well :-D

Yes, I did. And because I am able to read and UNDERSTAND, I was able to choose PREMIUM on the next page.

These agencies made official announcements that they accept AI generated images:

   Adobe Stock
   Dreamstime www.dreamstime.com/#res3072069
   Panthermedia www.panthermedia.net/?aff=279318
   Vecteezy www.vecteezy.com/contributors?ref=cd615833-b630-4c15-a417-6018c266c5c3&sub_id=default

These agencies made no announcements but accepted my AI images:

   Designbundles https://designbundles.net/store-register?sref=NQFdTb
   Freepik https://contributor.freepik.com?utm_campaign=stockeraxel&utm_medium=referral-content&utm_source=referral
   Mostphotos www.mostphotos.com/en-us/signup?ref=40788
   Canstock www.canstockphoto.com/?r=87020

And it seems they decided after all to accept AI images:

We're excited to see the amazing creations you'll come up with using AI technology! If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to our support team.

For what I see, if you send AI generated images in appropriate category, you are also forced to consent to give it away for free also for commercial use.
So, stay away from this agency

Well, you clearly can't see very well...

An up to date list:

https://upstock.guru/information/stock-sites-list-for-contributors.html

Well, Depositphotos states "Due to potential legal issues, we are not accepting this type of content.". So I don't know how accurate that list is...

45
[ I know that many people here feel strongly about AI generated images, but please keep that dicussion to the other existing threads. Thanks! ]

These are the agencies that explicitely accept AI generated images, as far as I know:
  • Adobe Stock
  • Dreamstime
  • Panthermedia

These are the agencies that explicitely do NOT accept AI generated images, as far as I know:
  • Shutterstock + Bigstock
  • iStock + Getty
  • Crushpixel
  • Depositphotos

If you know of any other agencies that made official announcements, please complete the list.

This means that all of your content which was selected for Extra Channels is now available on Freepik

No, it doesn't. Selected content only, same as other extra channels.

4 cents for what I assume to be Freepik sales. 

No, that's Miricanvas.


Can't say I'm happy with this "additional opportunities". I avoided any unlimited/flat fee and shared revenue plan so far, but Wirestock decided to throw my stuff in.
They'd better made those agencies available as an extra selectable option, but I guess they don't want to do that because very few of us would opt-in.

So beware, if you're still using Wirestock and don't want your content on those agencies: don't select extra channels!
It's basically giving Wirestock the permission to do whatever they want with your content.

Than why did you opt in in the first place? That was very clear from the begining. Reading T&Cs and FAQs helps  ;)

For those of you who photograph a lot of backgrounds, textures and other design elements you might wanna give Designbundles a try. Despite the name you can upload single photos as well. Until August 31st there is a promotion and they pay you 10 Cent for every upload!

Referral link: https://designbundles.net/store-register?sref=NQFdTb

No, no, no. They are definitely not paying 10c an upload anymore. That expired 2 years ago.

Yes, yes, yes, they are.

I am currently looking at my DB dashboard and I cannot see it. I also checked their Designer Panel Updates, where I got the previous attachment from, and not there. Where did you get that screen print from?

I mean if its true that's great, but I cannot see it.

These are last few updates ..

Designer Panel Updates
Christmas In July
28 MAY 2022
Are you ready for Christmasin JULY?! 🎅🎄🔔🎉❄️

Were planning on running promotions for Christmas in July this year so if youve got Christmas designs waiting to be listed or you need some motivation to get designing, Christmas is a great place to turn your attention!

We will be sending super-prepared Christmas crafters to the site who we expect to go on to search for more Christmas and holiday designs! 🙌

If you havent started making Christmas designs, now is the time!

Scheduled Dashboard Downtime
26 APR 2022
This month, we are making some changes to our $1 deal event which will take place on Wednesday, April 27th!

Instead of having one event at 5pm BST, we are having several events which will take place at 5pm in the customers local time.

In order to lessen the load on our servers and to ensure that the site does not crash with the increased volume of customer traffic, we make the Designer Admin Panel unavailable during our events.

As we will be having events at different times around the globe, the traffic will be split up but there are certain times that we are expecting high traffic.

You can find a graphic showing the times on April 27th that we expect the Designer Admin Panel to be restricted here: https://fbcd.co/images/timezones_admin_panel_downtime.png

We will be keeping a close eye on traffic load on the site and will be allowing designer admin panel access whenever we are able to.

We thank you for your understanding and patience throughout this event. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out, we are always happy to help!

Designer Resources
22 FEB 2022
Designer Resources are now live on your Designer Panel. This does what it says on the tin, giving you resources to help navigate and succeed on the Design Bundles & Font Bundles Platforms 📈

Feel free to take a look around and let us know if there is anything more you would like to see here 😊

You can join the discussion in our Community on Facebook or you can email our Customer Support Team anytime [email protected]

I did a quick check on what was eligible for nomination in my portfolio and I don't understand why items that have been downloaded within the last month and have lots of downloads are eligible.

Last time around, I thought it was only things that hadn't been downloaded in a certain amount of time that were eligible.

I'm not assuming; I checked several against my recent downloads list (by hand I would add; there are no ways to see downloads by date for a given image).

Have the rules for what assets can be included changed this time?

This is still the same Jo Ann. If a file was a top seller in the past 12 months it would not be eligible for nomination. In my account, I have some files eligible with hundreds of downloads in the lifetime of the image, but only a couple in the past year. The files that are eligible for nomination were determined last week, so it's likely there will be a few odd exceptions in which an image went on a download spree the past week and is still available for nomination. Please know that in those rare cases, when the nomination process is complete and the final selections are being made, those images will not be accepted. It's not in any of our best interest to pull content from the paid collection if it is trending towards consistent sales.

If you have a file or files, Jo Ann that seem to not align with what I just wrote, please send me an email with the specific file numbers and I'll look up their sales history to check them out.

Thank you,

Mat Hayward

Hi Mat,

several of my eligable files were only uploaded this year (2022), so they werent even online for 12 months... I dont remember that being the case last year. So, did the rules (4 or less sales withing the last 12 months) change after all?

No changes in the selection process that I am aware of. Do those new files have a large number of downloads?

-Mat Hayward

No, they have less than 4 downloads - but they are only online 5 months or less. I was under the impression that they needed to be online at least 1 year to be eligable.
