Adobe Stock / Re: Adobe Firefly 3 Beta and Adobestock« on: Yesterday at 06:41 »Matt: Are we allowed to use Adobe Firefly 3 Beta (that was released today) to generate AI images to be uploaded to Adobestock? Is Firefly web version part of creative cloud or do we need to purchase it as new? And does it gives unlimited generations or have any limits? 3

It takes a lot of time and hardwork to get a balanced income from microstock. Its a highly competitive market.
If contributor do any mistake > Destroy them and take away all the earning. If employee makes any mistake > Give them a scolding and ask them to resume to work. 4

Adobe Stock / Why display only 100 pages?« on: April 15, 2024, 01:25 »
I have a portfolio which have lot of images but Adobe stock only displays 100 maximum? Why?
Same is for search too, only 100 pages for any search term. Isn't this wrong when there are so many contributors and so big library? 6
Dreamstime.com / Re: A warning for those who use Stocksubmitter with Dreamstime« on: April 12, 2024, 07:15 »Yea I know it has nothing to do with Stocksubmitter. Though regardless, it still happens (probably with any kind of upload system or method.) With a service, like Stocksubmitter, it's not a case of 'set and forget.' One still needs to remember to edit the files afterwards in DT and deselect that selling of the rights option. I think you are missing some option here. Mine is permanently disabled and I usually get this email from them: Your file appears to be suitable for logo usage. Since this usage is allowed only under the exclusive rights license SR-EL, we strongly recommend you enable the SR-EL (SR-EL). This way, you ensure your file attains its maximum sale potential and sells for the highest earning license. It doesn't matter which upload method you are using. 7

Dreamstime.com / Re: A warning for those who use Stocksubmitter with Dreamstime« on: April 12, 2024, 03:54 »Recently, Ive been submitting some videos to DT with Stocksubmitter. And I just happened to click on one of those videos that had been accepted into my port. That video, and all of my other commercial videos, are marked with "Sell the rights." I quickly disabled that option from all the files that I submitted with Stocksubmitter. It is not due to stock submitter, few time back dreamstime system auto updated everything to sell the rights. You can though bulk disable it I guess. 9

From where are they taking permission??
I read an article where it was mentioned training as a FAIR use... What's going on here? Can anyone explain what does fair use define? https://www.medianama.com/2024/04/223-training-openais-sora-with-youtube-videos-a-clear-violation-of-the-platforms-rules/ 10

I can see it happening. I am down to 30-40% which is concerning.
Non-qualified people also have entered the market and have flooded everything with AI. 17

Adobe Stock / Re: Why no portfolio follow option in Adobe Stock?« on: February 10, 2024, 04:05 »I liked some contributors portfolios but why there is no option to follow them? Why? Thanks Mat, I appreciate that it has been discussed. I was working with a team and we were going through the stocks on Adobe where we liked some users work and bookmarked them. But we really missed the follow button which would come more handy than bookmarking all the portfolios. 21

Shutterstock.com / Re: Shutterstock photo sales revenue only 1/20 of Adobe Stock's.« on: January 26, 2024, 11:16 »The greediness of their management has no limit. So here are the consequences...and when the numbers talk all the rest does not matter. I agree, they are too greedy. My earnings have significantly reduced to 1/4 of normal which I used to get. No matter how good quality you upload, nothing will work. SS just looted us and remember karma always strikes back. From past couple of years, I have personally asked my clients to choose Adobe Stock over Shutterstock. 23

Shutterstock.com / Re: Happy Reset!« on: January 09, 2024, 22:31 »In my opinion, the problem with shutterstock is not the percentage for the author. Its problem is the constant decrease in the number of buyers. Buyers are leaving this stock. Any much was distributed to contributors? |
