General Photography Discussion / Re: Upscaling with AI older jpegs - before or after workflow« on: November 11, 2023, 16:41 »I was always under the impression that most agencies do not allow upscaling.

Adobe Stock / Re: Mat! My illustrations are still mis labeled as "generated by AI"« on: October 17, 2023, 14:23 »I have sent you the information. Thanks. Hi Mat, are you guys willing to throw the necessary resources after that AI halloy? The amount of AI images will multiply a thousandfold in the near future Alone review time. Do you have any plans at all? What about all those who are getting their accounts closed at the moment - what is the reason for this and is it ok that people are waiting for months? 17

'Funny' .. was three legs part of the keywords ..?
I don't think the agencies even check keywords anymore except for banned terms. Apparently it's also quite easy to get a lot of photos accepted at Adobe via AI - see the three here. And strange hands and a lot of wristwatches ... 22
Adobe Stock / Re: What a cool Adobe Stock AI image uploads, how well he sells.« on: October 07, 2023, 04:52 »
Just tried Adobe Firefly, but Midjourney is much better. Firefly generated images aren't on point and not usable for stock photo yet.
[/quote] Firefly is terrible - but will be better. Adobe is a clever company. Adobe should never have allowed the use of Midjourney, it's unethical. 23
