So who is allowing AI Generated art submissions? I think Adobe Stock and Dreamtime are. Others?

What is the image size and resolution like on some of these AI generators? I one better than the other when it comes to that? DALLE vs Midjourney vs ??

Not sure about you guys, but my Adobe sales dropped dramatically in the past few weeks. Anyone else experience this? Had been pretty consistent up till a few weeks ago.

General Stock Discussion / Re: Using Clker in Microstock?

I guess it doesn't make a difference that the site states the images are "free public domain vector cliparts".

So even if they are free to use, you can't use them in your Microstock project....right?

General Stock Discussion / Using Clker in Microstock?

« on: January 20, 2013, 18:41 »

Thought I would ask this on another board since got no replies on the newbie board.....

Anyone heard of Clker.com?

Mostly clip art but the images are royalty free and can be use for any purpose including commercial.

My question is then can those images from Clker be used in creation of new work that could then be submitted as microstock?

Is that a common practice?

I have had about 75 approved with no problems. Now I have 10 sitting in QC. Will they tell you what ones have been rejected? Why would the next batch be rejected also?

General Photography Discussion / Backdrops - Office setting

« on: December 05, 2010, 18:53 »

I'm looking for backdrops for my studio that have an office setting as the background. Does anyone know where I can find something like that? Maybe any 8x10 size.

Thanks

General Stock Discussion / Tutorials

« on: April 26, 2010, 17:44 »

What is the general rule of thumb when using tutorials in Microstock? Can you submit a product you created on based on someone else's tutorials? I have created many Photoshop images but they are similar to the images created in the tutorials but not exactly the same. Just curious.....Thanks
