Adobe Stock / Adobe Firefly Results Variation
« on: Yesterday at 21:53 »
is it me or does it seem like at times Firefly produces decent results and at other times it's near impossible to get something usable?

2
If someone (US based) has a subscription to the "Photography Plan" (PS + LR) are they being allocated some number of "generative credits" per month or is it still open ended at this point?

When submitting AI assets to Adobestock, do folks classify as "Photos" or "Illustration"?

I would think if the image is truly "photorealistic" than it would be classed as "photo", otherwise "illustration"?
There is definitely a large "grey area". What have folks been doing in this regard?

Adobe Stock / Illustrative Editorial Requirements Question
« on: January 13, 2024, 10:12 »
Regarding illustrative editorial requirements for photos on Adobestock. Adobestock does not accept Illustrative editorial images with recognizable people in them.
I understand that if you took an illustrative editorial photo of say the exterior of a store that it would not be accepted if someone happened to be walking by and was in the photo.
I have always assumed that you are not allowed to "photoshop" such person out of the photo and then submit it.
However, in reading the editorial guidelines, it doesn't specifically say that.

So, my question is: are you allowed to remove people from a photo and then submit as illustrative editorial? I am pretty sure the answer is no, but thought I'd ask to be sure.

Photoshop Discussion / File Size for Photoshop Generative AI files
« on: December 23, 2023, 19:36 »
I wonder why the size of the psd files gets so large when you start making use of the Generative AI functionality? Seems like they get to 300MB and up pretty quickly for equivalent of 24 Megapixel files.

If I understand the submission requirements for generative AI submissions:

 1. If I have a model released image and I use the GenAI tools in photoshop to extend the background, I should not mark the image as Generative AI?

 2. If I have say a model released image with a model on a white background (or in any environment for that matter) and I use GenAI tools in Photoshop to totally create/replace an environment (e.g.: room, outdoors) around the model.
     I would submit the image with a model release but I should or should not mark it as GenAI?

Thanks

Mat,

Any news on if there will be a "Adobe Stock 2023 contributor bonus program" and what the parameters will be?

Thanks!

If you use "remove background" in PS does the image get tagged as AI and therefore create problems if you submit as Stock?

Adobe Stock / Checklist When Submitting Editorial Photos
« on: September 16, 2023, 21:49 »
I just noticed that on the checklist for submitting Editorial photos, one of the items says something like "no trademark, logos etc.". However for editorial, isn't this allowed?

My current month earnings total is abou $30 higher than the detailed breakdown of downloads. Any ideas why?

Are file sizes for 24fps vs. 30fps proportionally smaller all other things being equal?

Adobe Stock / PNG files on Adobestock - Some Questions
« on: August 07, 2022, 08:13 »
I just noticed that Adobe is offering "png" files.
A few questions:

 - Is their offering png files something new or something that's been there previously?

 - Is there a way to specifically search for png files?

 - Do png files display on the site in such a way that it is obvious where the "transparency" is?

Maybe it's already there, but it would be nice if there was a "dark mode" switch for MSG website....is there one?

Shutterstock.com / Cell Phone Pics Rejection
« on: April 27, 2022, 07:43 »
Do folks find that SS "doesn't like" cell phone pics complaining about artifacts and focus? I used a recent high end Samsung and get mostly rejections. I understand that no cell phone can compete with larger sensor "real" cameras, but are other people seeing difficulty with cell phone pics being rejected for technical reasons?

Adobe Stock / Will Adobe Accept New iStock "Witnessless" Releases
« on: February 01, 2022, 15:56 »
iStock/Getty just updated their model releases. They no longer require a "witness".

Will Adobe accept these releaeses?

23
Looks like iStock has a new model release that does not require a witness signature.
The policy of agencies in the past has been to accept model releases from other agencies.
I wonder if AS, SS etc. will accept the new "witness not required" release from Getty/iStock?

Also, will the other agencies drop "witnesses" from their future release requirements?

Adobe Stock / A Note Regarding Adobe Editorial Submissions
« on: September 09, 2021, 08:30 »
I recently had several editorial images rejected...not a big deal. The rejection I believe is likely because the photos were "news oriented" even though there weren't people in all of the ones rejected

However, the "Illustrative Editorial Guidelines" seem to be a bit contradictory. In one paragraph it is stated:

"We are looking for imagery intended to illustrate articles on current events and news, focused on conceptual imagery using real brands and products to convey strong ideas."

Then a few sentences later it states:

 "The most common cases for rejection from that collection are:

    - The file includes identifiable people.
    - The file is news or documentary editorial.
    - The file did not have a strong editorial concept."

It is a bit confusing: "We are looking for imagery intended to illustrate articles on current events and news" vs. "...common cases for rejection...- The file is news or documentary editorial"

Seems to say imagery for current events and news is wanted and then says news is reason for rejection?

Can we have some clarification?

Thanks

Illustrative editorial is great, but when can we expect to see acceptance of Editorial shots with people on Adobestock?
