Odd ... the quality of the "AI Generated Image" images, at least on istockphoto.com, is really not that good right now.

Thanks ... I went in and cleared my cache including cookies in both browsers and now, I'm allowed back into the site. Go figure.

Appreciate your suggestion.

Try this:  https://community.adobe.com/



Thanks. I tried the link and in both browsers, and I'm still getting the message you're not allowed to access this site, but then it flips to ...

An Unexpected Error has occurred

iStockPhoto.com / Recent Uploads - Algorithm
« on: May 03, 2023, 07:34 »
Years ago, many of us believed that recency of upload gave an image a slight advantage in the algorithm on istock. What are the current thoughts on this these days?

Whenever I try to access commuity.adobe.com with my Windows computer with the Chrome browser and the Microsoft Edge browsers, I receive this message.

"You are not allowed to access this site"

However, I have no problems accessing the site with my ipad or my galaxy phone.

I have rarely used the site over the many years I've been using Photoshop and never had any issues there like bad behavior.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how I might resolve this issue?

I have received a number of these messages over the years and have been able to successfully get my rejected images accepted by showing the reviewer a series of step-by-step images used to create the final product. Sometimes, I'll number each image and write a brief text explaining each of the steps. HTH

Welp ... Woke up this morning and the images appeared in my portfolio. Next time this happens, I'll wait at least a week before I get worried.

iStockPhoto.com / Accepted images not showing up in portfolio
« on: December 08, 2021, 11:58 »
Has anyone else had this problem -- several images which were accepted are showing up on the istockphoto website, but not in my portfolio?
It's been 4 or 5 days now. Hoping they will correct this issue without my having to ask.

iStockPhoto.com / this month's stats --- better than expected
« on: August 20, 2021, 14:24 »
Last month was below expected; this month above... Go figure.

iStockPhoto.com / Re: Reference images slow things down
« on: July 03, 2021, 12:50 »
Agreed. Also, it likely takes extra time to open the reference images and verify them. For me, it typically takes about 4 to 5 days longer for images with reference images to be accepted than for those without.

Has anybody noticed that if you attach a reference image, the reviewers do not get to your submission for a long time -- days and days?

37
I was ready to be disappointed ... but, a little better than I expected.

Why in the he** are they removing so many sports images .... godalmighty!

pleasantly surprised .... graphic designers seem to be getting back to work ... probably at home for now.

Glad to see an uptick ....

2. I dont keyword in Lightroom, I use Bridge. Never had a problem using Bridge. The title field in Bridge is called Headline. Headline is the real metadata field name embedded in the IPTC.


Just curious why you prefer Bridge to Lightroom. I've only used Lightroom all these years.

April is probably the month when we all started feeling the results of Covid19

General Stock Discussion / Re: More or fewer keywords
« on: May 14, 2020, 10:21 »
Super valuable info. I've been submitting images to istockphoto since 2002 and have been trying to figure out the order of keywords ever since. It's been a mystery to me, though I had my theories.

So appreciate your comment! Thanks.

General Stock Discussion / Re: More or fewer keywords

Yup, straight to an English school!
For us not native speakers it is a puzzle to find accurate descriptions sometimes.
And even a good vocabulary does not ensure good grammar to title or describe efficiently.

For non-native speakers, I would recommend you find images very similar to yours and take note of the keywords they use. Also look at their titles and descriptions. That should help you narrow down the keywords you use.

Once you open DeepMeta, it will give you the option to download the latest version, 3.17.2 ... and the Auto-Start option is available for Windows. I like it.

In terms of this month, much better than I expected, considering that most designers were likely working from home. True that as time goes by, projects will likely dry up. I'm prepared to see my numbers drop.

Wondering how microstock sites such as Getty/istock will be affected by the coronavirus.

Someone else received a similar message and restriction. You'll see their detailed message in the thread titled "?Images in a series ... good idea?"

« on: January 02, 2020, 13:41 »
Just curious ... does anyone know what sizes are most commonly sold on istock. Or the cost commonly sold aspect ratios?
