if you do a little search over this group, you will find plenty of answers for same question.

52
"To make sure you continue having the most secure experience possible on Bigstock, were regularly monitoring our site and the Internet to keep your account information safe. We have detected some suspicious activity and as a precaution have reset the password to your account."

They also added a link, but I am hesitant to click.

yes I got the same email and I changed the password. Its genuine.

53
How is this legal? Next, they will start selling us for organs, because we ticked the box for "adobe can change the contract whenever and however it wants". They know we can't afford lawyers with the peanuts they pay us, so they keep scamming us again and again. It's a perfect crime. But if we all chip in, we can hire a team of good lawyers for all of us. Give it a thought.

And what you wish to demand from adobe?

this was on my header today

Yes, I also got it.. Can anyone explain that is it just one time or this can occur again in future?

55
its free collection up-front payment, go to your contributor dashboard and check "Eligible for free collection". I never agree with this free collection

It is not linked with free collection, I never opted for it.

56
Same, I never participated in any Free collection and got sale.
Must be something to do with AI learning.

General Photography Discussion / Re: IP Copyright Attorney
« on: August 22, 2023, 11:24 »
After years of watching my photos being stolen I've decided it's time to do something about it.

I'm trying out Pixsy with some solid smaller infringements to see the results.

For bigger infringements I've contacted a handful of IP attorneys and so far none of them have returned calls. The one attorney I was able to talk to said there was a conflict of interest so he couldn't work with me. Interestingly one of the attorneys I never heard back from was Ed Greenburg who has heavily marketed to creatives.

Anybody have an IP attorney based in the United States you can recommend?

How successful is Pixsy?

58
Many companies in various sectors are doing layoffs and Adobe will also join the same very soon.

Though there is a great demand of AI developers. But this sector is entirely new to many people.
People have many responsibilities and it is not easy for person to reset and restart new career.

It takes years of experience to be perfect. And when you become perfect, the requirement is over.

Adobe, Meta, Google, X and tons more are worrying equally.

59
All agencies should clearly mention a warning just like shuttertsock do with their AI content.

Shutterstock does not review AI-generated content for compliance with Shutterstocks content compliance standards. AI-generated content may not be used to infringe, misappropriate, or violate the intellectual property or other rights of any third party, to generate spam, false, misleading, deceptive, harmful, or violent imagery.

60
Almost a month now since the initial message and the data is touching 12 million.

61
Quote
"OpenAI has secured a license for access to additional Shutterstock training data including Shutterstock's image, video and music libraries and associated metadata"


OpenAI is already questionable on why they trained their model at first place to create a tool which can further create unlimited generations.
We as a contributor gave permission to sell our works. We were never asked by anyone, nor we permitted our stuffs to get trained.

I am sure that this 6 years contract might have made millions to shutterstock and contributors might have got nothing.

62
And the collection (of acknowledged genAI content) is now over the 11.5million threshold - 11,507,885

With the same pace, I predict AI content to cross 25-30 million mark by the end of this year.

You should report these to copyright team asap.

Whether they like it or not, they've already got a *lot* of AI images sold as stock and unlabelled.

I've seen a lot like that too. And from the Adobe Forums, someone pointed out this portfolio which appears to be AI created but isn't labeled in the title or with the Generative AI tag...

https://stock.adobe.com/contributor/211097879/hera-kim

The post was made at the end of April and the portfolio is still there, still not labeled as AI (and no response to the post either).


The portfolio is gone.

65
Stock photography is coming to an end has been the most consistent topic on this forum for the last 15 years. And yet, here we are.

You should see facts. Such technology was never build and this AI is something which can create 100s or professional works within minutes.
And it is self improving and learning program so it will become more accurate with time.

67
"healthy balance sheet"
Wow, they just looted us. I am down 60% of my avg earning due to their pricing structure.

68
Working hard for less than a cent...

Is this for one download???

69
So now they are looking to pause AI so that it doesn't oversmart human brains.

https://futureoflife.org/open-letter/pause-giant-ai-experiments/

Some major people signed are Elon musk who was investor on openAI, then Emad Mostaque who created stable diffusion

First they damaged the industry and now alerting everyone that industry is getting damaged.

$660 with just one image... amazing mate and congratulations.

71
When is the Blue Bar appearing? I need to redeem the code to continue to use my Adobe Illustrator which has just expired today.

Take a look at the Adobe Stock Contributor portal now. If you qualified for the bonus code, you should now see the blue redemption bar. Congratulations to everyone who qualified and THANK YOU for being such an important part of Adobe Stock!

Without you, there is no us.

-Mat Hayward

Thanks a ton. Though I made the purchase previous week as my subscription was expired. will redeem it soon.

Today we launched a new tool to create keywords, titles and descriptions on stock photos automatically.

This technology has been around for a while, but for our workflow, there were no tools out there that fit into our workflow. For example, tools were limited to only producing keywords (not titles and descriptions), and they lacked manual control.

We've built this new tool to fit into a workflow where you can easily get AI assistance but remain in control to ensure the metadata accurately fits the concept of your image.

Some of the features we've incorporated to do this:
  • After the keywords are populated, you can easily remove/add keywords in the lightweight editor.
  • You can qualify/disqualify keywords used for titles and descriptions. Some words might be relevant as keywords but not in the titles. This could be words related to less important elements in the image. Try only qualifying the top 10 most relevant keywords, and you'll get great quality titles and descriptions.
  • If you are unhappy with the titles or descriptions, you can regenerate them, and every time you get a new option - you can still choose to go back to one of the previous options.

Feel free to try it out: https://pixify.io/ai-keywording-tool

That's great initiative.
I tried this and have some questions.
1- Is this free?
2- Why there is no bulk keywording option, other than one by one?
3- Where are images stored?

I have personally tested it with multiple works and found that the accuracy is only 40%, moreover it is also not following minimum words limited in titles. How can this be fixed?

73
Now we will have to use Adobe's competitor soft...

There is actually no such robust and high end software(s) other than the apps of Adobe Creative Cloud.
I have experimented on many but have reverted back. So good luck to you.

74
The only request is that, please make the blue banner visible soon as my plan is about to expire.

75
Adobe is surely a King... Love you guys. ❤️❤️❤️
