I have not received any communication from Payoneer regarding the new 3% withdrawal fee. Could anyone copy paste here the email from Payoneer ?

Ai is useless for specifics.
It creates all kind of fantasy flowers, hybrid animals, strange underwater wildlife, a cactus from mexico growing in the sahara desert etc...
Same for locations, nothing is real.
So especially for high quality localized content, with or without people, also for food etc..nothing beats real photography.
The ai world is a fantasy world.
There is an endless amount of genuine, local content you can create and if possible add more latin names to flora and fauna, add "authentic" and more locally specific keywords and point out as much as you can that what you are shooting is real.
Very useful observations! Thanks!

How can we add extra value in today's stock photography market?
Almost everything can now be created with AI, which is continuously improving. I'm trying to find a space for myself where there is that extra value for clients. I thought maybe an option would be PNGs on Adobe Stock, but that category is also oversaturated. I'm out of ideas... are we still needed? After all, anyone can generate any image just as well as those of us who are professionally involved in stock photography.

I am sure it will be a monthly bonus. What we received now is too low to be a one time boost as Adobe paid us.

Wow, it seems like the weekly bestsellers page (in Photos) is now exclusively showcasing AI portfolios. This highlights the immense competition that traditional photographers have to face now. Where does this lead to ?

I believe about $1000 to be a fair price for 5 sets, not less. Banana mission update 
photos taken 3022
topics completed 47
needless to say,I have never taken all these photos in such a short time.
everything is going well,now I'm going to shoot 2 more topics,then I'll close tomorrow morning with a series of shots on different surfaces randomly,however there are still 2 whole days left.
I think 300 USD for 5 sets is a fair price,but certainly no less,perhaps Adobe for the next missions could think of a type of rewards that increase as more sets are completed,or to an extra bonus if you complete all sets.

Thanks Danny,
When will you share the details with us on how those royalties will be distributed ?

Hi,
Tomorrow the Canva Magic AI tool will be launched. How are contributors going to be compensated for training their AI tool ?

Injusticeforall, you said you estimate to complete the task in 6 days full time job. Where are you from that you feel comfortable making $300 a week?

Mat, what about the picture that are already in the pending queue and uploaded as illustrations ?

Hi,
From now and then I receive e-mails from Yay that they intake of images is up etc. So people seem to upload there. Is anyone active with them ? What are your impressions as of 2023 ?

This is simply not exactly how search works.
Could you please elaborate ?

Ok, so Xpiks supports PNG only when I buy Pro or Pro+ license, right ?

Xpiks does not support PNG. When I try to add PNG files to Xpiks the window shows "No files added". Hi,
I was looking for a program to add keywords etc to .PNG.
No major tagging software (Stocksubmitter included) seems to cover that need.
Hi
Xpiks supports PNG files, no problem.

Yeah, but it is not comfortable. I mean there is no option to copy paste metadata to multiple images, change order of keywords etc..

Adobe Bridge works, but it is not convenient.
Thanks for any help!

Does anyone know some good resources explaing how generative AI art works ?
I was wondering if the AI image is just a mosaic of tiny parts of other images, or does it "paint" a new image from scratch ? For instance let's say we have a prompt where the main subject is a cat. Is it possible that an eye or nose of that cat is just taken from some photograph in the internet ?

Thanks Mat. Can we expect more waves of approvals for the Free section ?

I know there is some forum which is very popular among thousands of Russian contributors. Maybe someone who knows Russian language would post there ?

Dear Russian friends, I know there is a significant stock photographers community, so I have an appeal to you.
Please do not believe in your Russian media propaganda saying that terrible war is some kind of "special action". It is regular war against Ukrainian civils. Putin is cannon firing kindergartens, hospitals and civilian areas. Your Russian dictator is not better that Hitler or Kim Jong-un. He started the worst kind of war in the middle of Europe so no one can feel safe now.
I am asking you to inform and spread the true information wherever you can in your country. Putin already cut you off from most foreign media, so all ways to reach you are good.
Thanks!
BTW, I am not Ukrainian, but I have so much sympathy to their people that I had to post it, hope it won't be removed. If is reaches even one unaware Russian, my message makes sense. The only way to bring peace back to Europe is to make Russian aware and ready to avert from their ruler.

Just popping in to say SS keeps degrading for me, while Adobe is skyrocketing. Now I'am getting 160dl a day on Adobe hah. This keeps me wondering how can one agency be affected so much by the coronavirus (SS), and another agency (Adobe) is selling like crazy in these crazy times.

I've been a contributor for 12 years now. I do it full time and upload quality photos and illustrations. In the peak time (2016) I used to have 400 downloads a day on Shutterstock. A year ago I was happy with 200-250 downloads. These days I am getting about 130 downloads a day. DESPITE regular uploads. I am aware of the Covid19 situation, but how is it possible the downfall is strong ? On the contrary I am getting record sales on Adobe. Has Shutterstock fell so much for you as well ? PS: my username was created some years ago, it's meaning may no longer be true
