"Which "stable diffusion upscaler" online service are you using?"

wirestock and nightcafe

and sometimes still gigapixel

but the most important is to choose a good file to start with

eta

now 10 days for photo ai, review times getting longer again

Thanks for update.

You may need to look at your files in 200% to detect the artifacts or banding they are looking for.

Currently I am now reprocessing files with the stable diffusion upscaler instead of gigapixel and uploading smaller sizes, 2000*3500 etc...and the reprocessed files in smaller size are being accepted.

I really appreciate the much faster reviews. Makes a huge difference, bec<yue I can just process a few test files from a series, see if they get accepted, if not, reprocess and try again until I have a processing that works for the reviewers.

Fast reviews lead to a much happier community vibe because at least now you at least have a chance to get content on line in time and respond to fresh trends.

Which "stable diffusion upscaler" online service are you using?

During my registration with Shutterstock my national ID / driving license both rejected by them due to  local language. Finally I made my passport just for registration purpose. I am thankful to Shutterstock for that because later on it really help me for registering at Skrill and payoneer for receiving my payments.  :)

He is talented,  creative and skilled artist. He is using 3d software for creating elements and compose/photo manipulate in photoshop or other graphic software.
3d modelling is tedios work, I have no idea whether he is modelling  or importing 3d objects from library. Details are great in his works.

 As already said above,  software are only tools. Creating such images are not  easy. His portfolio is

Bigstock.com / Re: BS login problem?
« on: April 13, 2017, 23:21 »
Been trying to login since this morning. The site hangs for a few seconds as if it's trying to log-in, then reverts to the original homepage (not-logged-in page).


Facing same problem, contacted BS support through http://www.bigstockphoto.com/contactus.html and within few hours received reply from them that problem has been resolved. I tried again and successfully login.

BAD. If files are accepted than there is no way to disable or delete them. We have to contact support for removal of any image.

The IP address from the email from donotreply@fineartamerica's is: 207.150.192.50

It says Austin, Texas.

The IP address from the hotmail account is: 65.55.116.12

It says Virginia, Washington

So now I'm really worried...


Proxy web sites / VPN / other tools can be used to send email from any server and any location of world. People often used these technique to visit banned website, hide their original IP, anonymous surfing etc.

As Steve and others already said, ignore and forget it. I have seen your image that is nothing wrong with it. 


How to recognize scams
Scams can contain the following:
1    Alarmist messages and threats of account closures.
2    Promises of money for little or no effort.
3    Deals that sound too good to be true.
4    Requests to donate to a charitable organization after a disaster that has been in the news.
5    Bad grammar and misspellings.
(https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/safety/online-privacy/phishing-scams.aspx)


Fake emails often (but not always) display some of the following characteristics:
    The senders email address doesnt tally with the trusted organisations website address.
    The email is sent from a completely different address or a free web mail address.
    The email does not use your proper name, but uses a non-specific greeting like dear customer.
    A sense of urgency; for example the threat that unless you act immediately your account may be closed.
    A prominent website link. These can be forged or seem very similar to the proper address, but even a single characters difference means a different website.
    A request for personal information such as user name, password or bank details.
    The email contains spelling and grammatical errors.
    You weren't expecting to get an email from the company that appears to have sent it.
    The entire text of the email is contained within an image rather than the usual text format.
    The image contains an embedded hyperlink to a bogus site.

Following is such hoax email which I received from a buyer/seller at fiverr.  After reading email I become stressed and decided to reply. But then I ask myself, why not google about it. Google return many forums, where people discussing about same following email.  Finally I deleted message and reported this fake general to fiverr support, who delete his account within few hours, which was created on that same day.

Agree with above.
You also have to learn how to edit your images for lighting, color correction etc.

I have applied Curve, color balance and a lit bit of sharpness to your image for your motivation :-)

It looks phishing scam email. Hacker normally spoof sender address, which appear legitimate.
Once I received scam email identical to skrill in which they are asking for logging and changing my password. The sender address appear legimate but it was random phishing scam.

1.  Skrill always address with first name and last name but scan contain only my email address name

2.  I looked into page source (html code) and found hacker address

3.  Just for experimenting, I clicked on login link from within email, which lead me to fake skrill login page www.skrll.com/login. I observed URL address closely and it was WWW.SKRLL.COM (skrill without i). Anyway I entered dummy username/password for skrill and it login without any problem.

Don't worry about such scam/phishing email. Instead replying to these email, contact website through CONTACT US link

Good explanation about email address spoofing

I am getting this error whenever I am trying to login. I am using correct details.

"The username or password you entered did not match any account"

Try logging with typing email address in username field, wait few second for recapthca verification.
If still unsuccessful, try to reset your password using link Forgot your password/user name?

Yes, I reset the password and it worked.

Great it work. Error "The username or password you entered did not match any account"  is result of wrong password. There are 2 possible situations

(i) May be you are typing wrong password. I saved my passwords in password protected file and copied from there to password field by pasting.  For eg password like lFPPUKvHsCagvFygkmCg is very difficult to crack by brute forcing and also difficult to remember.

(ii) Someone got your password and changed it.  Not sure as if someone get into your account, he can easily change primary email to his email address. In such situation, resetting with original email show error "Enter a valid email address"  because primary original email address has been changed to new one.

 
Also note that CanStockphoto did not mail or warn about change of email address.
