Sales are really good this week at Adobe, especially due to increased amount of > 1$ ones. So I wouldn't worry, your sales will pick up again 
right, ms sales charts look more like a picket fence than a smooth curve - which makes anything less than a running average pure random noise

After I dutifully ticked the box for the new annoying superfluous confirmation for the terms and conditions, a window popped up that I had never seen before:
Are You human?
I would have spontaneously said yes.
But I was presented with 9 pictures in which I had to click on cats. I hate cats. Nevertheless, I passed the test, which fills me with a certain pride.
However, I was very unsure about one picture.

this called invisible recaptcha from developers POV: "reCAPTCHA v3 allows you to verify if an interaction is legitimate without any user interaction. It is a pure JavaScript API returning a score, giving you the ability to take action in the context of your site: for instance requiring additional factors of authentication, sending a post to moderation, or throttling bots that may be scraping content."
https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/versions so most of the time real users won't need to answer a captcha. i have it working on my WP site & it eliminated most bots while letting actual users in. re having to be exact in the puzzle - if you make a mistake it just gives you another chance

The heck, even if only some part of Grusch's claims are true, it is a gamechanger, and the denialist worldview crumbles like a house of cards.
not sure who you're referring to as 'denialists', but those critiquing here have never said there are no ET just that no conclusiive evidence has been presented yet.
No you and others have repeatedly called it nonsense, make believe, and worse whilst denigrating the evidence and testimony given by serving military and civilian alike.
Which is why when you see this reported and investigated you'll see they always turn to you, Pete and gang for advice and confirmation instead of experts military or otherwise. Your name crops up regularly along with Petes and Annie's and all the other denialists that have contributed regularly here. Thank goodness we have you.
always rely on you for name calling in place of facts - we do call out nonsense & misdirection - but we don't deny the possibilities - and we call the claims nonsense, not the claimers

if i'm editing i'll use PS but if viewing from a folder i use the older version of windows photo viewer which 1 click to 100% & back - also makes it much easier to compare similars
it also makes it easier to decide how much to downsize & which to use ai giga,etc (all of which i do in batches)

Hello Pete,
No, that's not what I mean. I'm thinking more of sites that sell products with purchased images. The images themselves are the main selling point - so they would have to be sold with an extended license or via API. Photo wallpapers, wall tattoos, photo puzzles and many other products already mentioned......
ok, i misunderstood - i thought you were saying digital products were being sold since the title is "any sales there" I've been selling on amazon for over 20 years (collectible comics & books) and have been waiting/hoping they'd provide a means for digital sales

There is a very big sway towards interdimensional. It seems to be being bandied about more and more. I'm not there on that one but it is concerning to see it more and more. Just another race seems inevitable but one or many that can open portals or doorways into our world seems incorrect.
From Northrop Grumman:
https://now.northropgrumman.com/do-doors-to-interdimensional-travel-exist
Background information from Wikipedia for those who don't know Northrop Grumman:
Northrop Grumman Corporation is an American multinational aerospace and defense technology company. With 95,000 employees and an annual revenue in excess of $30 billion, it is one of the world's largest weapons manufacturers and military technology providers.
now here's a red herring! - if you bothered to, look at the 'about' page you'd find The content on this site doesnt necessarily reflect the views of Northrop Grumman.and the actual article just reviews current thinking about the POSSIBILITY, and that's for gravitational influences, not wormholes or blackhole transports nothing new here & no connectin with UFO

I assume that "many of Grusch's claims have merit" is an understatement, due to the fact that the info is classified. If even some of Grusch's claims were true, then it is really big. If what Grusch said was BS, I don't think they would be dealing with it the way they are doing it.
...
there are many reasons info is classified. first the use of classified has metastasized, and many dox being declassified should never have been so, but there are also concerns that info would disclose security capabilities, etc. dox repeating info published by major newspapers & blogs have also been classified. conclusion - classification does not imply conspiracy to hide results or even dox having significant new info.

I didn't think amazon supported digital delivery - how are these images being sold?

Where can you check your acceptance rate and rank as a seller? Thanks in advance for reply, cant figure out where to find tjose
I do not think Adobe shows you your acceptance rate, you have to keep track of that yourself.
But your rank you can see on the upper left corner of your dashboard. You have to select a timeframe (week, month, year, all time) from the drop down menu and then it will show you your rank for that time.
weird - it shows rank for lifetime & this week, but not for month or this year do we know how many users are? my rank this week is about 9000 - month or year would be more useful lifetime won't change much, week is too random

Also for experienced producers, if the queue is a week, you can send in test batches from a series with different processing styles, see what Adobe prefers, then do the rest...
be careful here - AS doesn't like multiple filters on an image - they're considered similars - just submit 2-3

I'd worry too if they are sending you to their own bitcoin site, that they can get more than whatever costs you're paying upfront, since this might give them private banking info? It could wipe you out, and my understanding is that none of this stuff is traceable.
yes, there is the occasional legit offer. the other reason why i reply is to get their bitcoin 'site', then track it down to confirm it's a scam i use https://www.ssltrust.com/ssl-tools/website-security-check which checks a site over dozens of databases

1. I don't know what images Zero Talent sells on this site. He didn't provide any links to them. These may not be stock images.
I already told you that ALL my FAA photos are also sold on ALL my stock sites.
Cascoly told you the same.
But you are stubborn and unwilling to change your prejudices, even when confronted with evidence screaming in your face. We already established that.
You can easily do a reverse search on many FAA photos and discover them on stock sites, but you are not willing to listen.
See below another example from a different contributor, selling his stock photos on FAA.
1. I was having a discussion with Cascoly, not with you.
2. I wrote to him about the time when you had not yet written what you were selling and explained the meaning of my posts.
3. Your opinion may be subjective regarding the artistic value of your photos.
more nonsensical replies - you can't even remember that you were replying to Zero well before i entered the conversation!

As for the NFT market, it is near $100 billion. You wont believe it, but besides scammers, there is a real market, deals, money.
irrelevant - no one claimed there was no profit in NFT
successful NFT come from those with means to advertise & promote.
i know it's useless to ask you this, but please show ONE successful NFT from a stock image.
legitimate NFT are comparable to self-hosted sites - they wither without substantial SEO investment & other marketing
The Fine Art America website is not only a stock image. I dont even know if there is a stock image on this site.
more obfuscation & ignorance (why am i not surprised?) first, i asked you to show any stock image that had been successful as NFT as you implied, which you avoided by answering with a non sequitur second, there are many, many hundreds of stock images on FAA - all of mine are (about 1500) and there are many others on both FAA &FB groups who do both

then, there are the 'legitimate' scammers willing to bilk their own followers, such as an indicted ex-president Former President Donald Trump has made between $100,001 and $1 million in income from NFTs, his new financial disclosure showed.
Trump last year announced his first NFT collection, a series of $99 digital trading cards featuring cartoon drawings of him in various heroic postures and outfits. {my emphasis} https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/14/trump-made-a-bundle-of-cash-selling-nfts-financial-filings-show.html

i get 1 or 2 of these each month as comments on FB here's my std reply:
Which images & what price are you offering for the license to make NFT from my images? I do sell exclusive rights for NFT as long as the buyer takes complete control after I supply the images I also require a 30% deposit made to my paypal account.
I've been so disappointed that no one wants to take my generous offer! usually the scammer can't even name an image they want and try to get me to upload to their scammer site. i confirm that's an evil site & i then out them as a scammer ii my public reply (usually in an FAA group)

For some reason my AI pictures does not get reviewed for a week now. Neither accepted nor rejected. I upload daily and the last month I had every day reviewed images. Did something change this year? Or is it maybe because of personal shortage because of start of the year or something?
i haven't seen any difference between photos and ai images - both take a month or more

based on previous years it's too early for any announcement - last year's was late Feb(?) and credits in early March (?) - dates may be off by a week or so
i won a bet last year against those who thought the program would be canceled - anyone want to take the bet this year & buy me a few americanos?
Im still cranky about losing that bet!
but paid off promptly!

AS may figure we make enough each year thus don't need the free program anymore
FYI Salary: Stock Photography (January, 2024) United States
ZipRecruiter
https://www.ziprecruiter.com Salaries Stock-Photo...
As of Dec 27, 2023, the average annual pay for a Stock Photography in the United States is $62,338 a year.
no need for such negativism - this happens every year - lots of whining, then the bonus comes but none of the whiners apologize or even admit they were wrong that's why i offered the bet - put your money behind your pessimistic opinions
