You can confirm your rate for the Missions in the contributor portal by clicking the Missions tab at the top.
So we all have different "rate" for the same job? Based on what?
Differences in Mission offers may be due to the type of Mission, amount of content, or estimated cost of production. It may also be due to A/B testing during the limited beta rollout of our new Missions feature. Missions are currently limited to only a select group of contributors. This test aims to evaluate varying pricing structures to allow us to better understand what resonates most with our community, helping us scale Missions to the larger Contributor community in a sustainable way.
Mat,I'm interested in knowing if every real environment can be considered a topic,for example bananas in a basket in the middle of the grass,or bananas hanging on a wall are okay?
because if any real environment is considered valid,then is possible create 50/60 different topics.
Yes, that should be fine.
Thanks for the question,
Mat
Thank you very much! In this case it is possible to complete the mission 5 times.

I think the main thing are topics,you can send up to a maximum of 50 pictures per topic,each different surface is a topic.
A banana on your kitchen table for example is a topic,so just take 50 different shots of this banana or more bananas on that table,then an outdoor wooden table is another topic,so again 50 different photos of bananas on this wooden table and you have completed another topic.
complete 10 topics and you have completed the first set,but to be safe in case a topic is rejected,it is better to do 11 or 12 if possible for each set.
and here comes the most difficult part,finding at least and I mean at least 50 different topics,if you want to take all the loot home,that is if you want to complete the mission 5 times.
so a lot depends on whether you have the opportunity to shoot in different places,at a friend's house for example,but also on how much creativity you have available,creativity in thinking about different topics with the little space available.

ok,if Mat doesn't answer,I guess,the type of mission and the rewards depend on the country you live in,but maybe i'm wrong. I'm going now,bananas are waiting for me!

"Your image was flagged/reported for incorrect usage of the following keywords: gatti gatto seduto. No admin action has been taken yet and the report is pending" okay,this is really funny,one of my images was reported by "Exyuretrotv" in Dreamstime,it is a photo of 2 cats sitting on a bench and the contested words are "cats" "cat" and "sitting" crazy stuff! However,perhaps it's the fault of the translations,in Dreamstime the translations into Italian have always been terrible! Sorry,it has nothing to do with the topic but I don't think it's worth starting a discussion about this.

Why do I see 60$ for the first two "missions" - eating food and hands with food, and only 40$ for the bananas and flags "missions" ?
I also noticed a transcription error in the Italian language,for the mission of hands with food which is 80,but in Italian it is translated 60. okay,maybe it's better if Mat,if possible,confirms what the exact amounts are for the missions. However,I want to add that 60 for each single mission for bananas is fair,but in my opinion 80 for "close up of mouth eating food" is low,because it involves a whole series of other things in addition.

how you will get 300 usd for bananas? don't they pay only 60dollars for bananas mission?
you can restart the mission up to 5 times 60x5=300 if all your set are approved,for this reason I would like to be able to send 3000 instead of 2500 just to be sure. @RalfLiebhold thanks,but I'm not sure I understand,it's not about going against anyone,it's simply about uploading at least 2500 images,minimum 500 for each set and maximum 1000,which can be repeated 5 times,once the mission is completed you get paid,you don't have to compete with anyone. in the end it's simply a matter of taking photos of some bananas! Working comfortably from home,in fact I also find time to write here while I'm working,nothing tiring,it just takes time. in any case, thank you very much for your good wishes!

It doesn't take long,once the situation is organised,everything goes smoothly. I have already created several folders with various names,banana like this...banana there...so i can see how many of that kind miss for create a complete set. and now I just have to make all jpegs with manual focus,so I don't even have to review them,all shots,division by category and sending,nothing else. easy and fun,and they also pay me 300 USD Have you ever worked 14 hours a day with only one day off a week? That was real work,and they paid me 500 euros a week,but it was 14 hours a day for a whole year! so 300 usd to take 3000 photos of bananas seems fair to me!

why?have you never seen bananas hanging outdoors in front of fruit shops for example?or hanging outdoors on the wall?
No.
yes,also hang them in the sun to dry them,whole or cut into rounds,or hung in the cool outdoors to preserve them. I wonder if bananas wrapped in clear plastic are okay,but i think yes. from my point of view,every real environment can be a banana in "real life situation" you can also find a rotten banana on the road or in a field,that is also "real life situation"

I would be interested to know if photos of bananas outdoors,in the grass for example,are allowed,or hang on a rope against the sky... in short,the only important thing is that they are bananas in a real environment and that the background is not plan,It doesn't matter which environment right?
The brief didn't say "real environment", but "real life situations".
I am not sure a banana on a rope hanging against the sky is what I would consider a "real life situation"?
At least for me bananas hanging from the sky is not a situation I usually come across in real life. About outdoors I would say something like a banana on a picknic blanket might count as "real life situation", but I can't think of many other situations where I might be finding bananas outdoors.
why?have you never seen bananas hanging outdoors in front of fruit shops for example?or hanging outdoors on the wall? a picnic blanket yes ok,but I think also a simple basket with bananas in a meadow for example. Anyway I think I'll shoot the first 1000 in raw,then I'll move directly to raw+jpeg because otherwise it takes too much,I still want to keep some raw if I can,since I'm there. if I manage to complete the mission 5 times it's 300 usd for a week of work,and in addition I find myself with almost 3000 photos of bananas to select and process for my portfolio,I think it's time well spent!

ok I bought 14 bananas! I have already taken 240 shots for the moment,then I have to see how many I select,because I have to check what they look like before converting the raw to jpeg,above all I have to check that they are all perfectly in focus,otherwise I don't have to do anything else. I would be interested to know if photos of bananas outdoors,in the grass for example,are allowed,or hang on a rope against the sky... in short,the only important thing is that they are bananas in a real environment and that the background is not plan,It doesn't matter which environment right? Now I'm going,I have to be able to at least take 600 shots for today,yes because I don't think I'll send just 500 per set,but 550 at least,in order to be sure in case of any rejection,given that the minimum required is 500.

"Pagheremo 60 USD per ogni set accettato per questa Missione". I think there is a transcription error from English to Italian,for the mission of the hands touching the food,it should be 80 USD but in Italian it is written 60 USD. "Questa Missione sar aperta per gli invii almeno fino al 6 settembre 2023.La disponibilit potrebbe essere estesa finch non avremo ricevuto contenuti sufficienti" the date is also wrong,September 6,2023 is gone! I take this opportunity to point out the always perfect translations from English to Italian,always perfect on all Adobe products and in the help sections.grazie!

@ Alex interesting and a very likely scenario,otherwise we will be inundated with fake news more than we already are,it would be unacceptable.
@ Noedelhap that's exactly how it is,if you want to continue creating backgrounds and textures,that time is certainly over,you have to adapt and there is still a lot to do and will always be there in the microstock,AIs are certainly not the end.
In my opinion not only will the unique and best artists survive, but those who simply want to adapt to create content that has a utility that cannot be replaced by an AI.

thanks Mat,things get interesting,I'll get some bananas right away! ok,from what I understand you can take some bananas,put them on a table,even use the same angle for a few shots by changing the focus point,then a few more shots with different distances,close-up,macro...then different angles....up to 50,then you change scenario/mode.all this 10 times.....things get very interesting!

. double post sorry
you really tripled yourself! a strange coincidence finding you here now,because just a little while ago,talking about drones,your blog from April 2022 "drone special edition" came to my mind! I am quite sure that it will be like this,it is still early but in the near future,all AI contents will be labeled in a more appropriate way by law,it is inevitable for various reasons,and is another reason for not give up now,real contents will be always necessary.

"You may submit up to five separate sets of 5001000 pictures by restarting the Mission after submitting the previous set".
After this quote,I have two questions:
1-Can I upload a set of 500x5 times and get 5X money?(if so,things get interesting)
2-What is the difference between uploading 500 or 1000 images? What is the advantage of uploading 1000 in one set?
793
« on: September 27, 2023, 14:28 »
A month, absolute minimum. They want visually different images, that needs a wider set up.
And the money they pay is not an incentive in Germany, so you are not going to drop everything you have planned and just do this.
I other countries where this kind of money can be half a salary, that is different of course.
Yes,even in Italy it is little money,but the thing that can be convenient is that you then find yourself with a series of shots ready to process and send for your portfolio.

"This Mission will be open for submissions until at least October 6, 2023.Availability might be extended until weve sourced sufficient content".
so yes,too little time,in my opinion too,20 days at least,especially for food,in order to diversify.
Anyway these missions are interesting,maybe I'll complete some of them.
"Images for this mission do not require metadata or post-processing".
this saves time.

@peacesetter congratulations!wonderful sales! I suppose that on SS you can make good money with videos,I have recently started with videos too,for now I use an old GoPro6 which is 4K but rather limited,and my DSLR which however is only HD but more suitable for macros,and more. I'm planning to buy a GoPro10 and a Sony video camera. For the moment I have only sold a few HD videos. A drone is also on my list!

no,but last year I received about 10 emails from BS inviting me to renew the tax form,even though I had already just renewed it,then at a certain point these emails ended.

Eventually, in approximately two years, the client will enter the keywords they currently use in the search engine, and as a result, pages and pages of images automatically just created by AI will appear, just like it happens now with photos. However, this time, no contributor will receive anything; everything will stay in Getty's bank account. That's the plan. That's the future.
Exactly,so what are you still doing here? Come on,everyone,go away so you don't compete with me anymore! Everything has already been in Getty's bank account,so what's new? But how do these customers purchase content that cannot be generated by AI? And who wants real content?Dont assume that everyone wants content generated by AI,and then,once again,there is an infinite amount of content that can be made that AI just can't do for practical and legal reasons.

My sales and revenue on SS have been increasing steadily as has the average rate per download which, this year, stands at $0.70. Yeah, I also get the $0.10 sales but they are in the minority and I've also had some big sales. In terms of total downloads and revenue, for me, SS continues to outperform Adobe. And my uploads are generally reviewed within 48 hours.
This month,by removing the Firefly bonus I earned 31.4 times more on Adobe compared to SS,and 42.8 times more with the Firefly bonus. what else do you want me to tell you?

I used to sell 50 photos per day. Now about 10 photos per day and mostly $0.10 per sale. I stopped selling my videos a few years ago due to drastic revenue decline because of cheap video subs. Yes, it's better than nothing.
yes I remember,I also followed the SS forum and I saw all your reactions when the bomb thrown by SS exploded,like everyone else,I was shocked. I too have noticed a decrease in the total number of sales on SS,which is depressing because I have been uploading content to agencies every day or so for almost 6 years now. I believe that at least 20c minimum for subscription plans would already be more acceptable even if still not much,but 10c is truly obscene. very probably soon I will become an exclusive Adobe Stock,even if there is no program for exclusivity,because on Adobe I see that my efforts are rewarded.
