Michael, I wouldn't take that too seriously.
If the only person here, who apparently has all day time to flood the forum with contributions, receives zero approval for it and then calls all others trolls - that speaks volumes.
Annoying just a bit to read here. Is at the moment somehow groundhog day here: stoker2014, stoker2014 ..... 

Don't worry - I've probably been out of the age where this upsets me for a while :-)
It's more like an annoying squeak under the shoe and somehow also amusing.

I can give more than one

I'm waiting for a link. Or are you a liar!

Someone's education has definitely failed - throwing around accusations and insults like 'liar' should actually be enough for a ban, shouldn't it?

Have a nice day@All

Thank you for letting us know :-)

In principle, I find the FreeCollection offers quite good, but $8 for a video clip does not seem to me to be in proportion to $5 for a photo.
I will definitely not participate in this programme with my videos.

This is completely nuts...

If I am not wrong, all illustrations which had sales between 1 and 4 in the last 12 month have been selected to be 'valid' for the free collection.

Those selected images will be reviewed and if some of those will be selected, you will get $5 for each selected image. The selected images will then be free to download for 1 year at Adobe Stock.

This year I had 800 foto sales so far with and RPD of $0,294...
- 1 sale for $21
- about 25 sales (on demand) in the range $1-$3
- about 750 sales in the range of $0,10-$0,50 (603 sales for $0,10)

Only 15 video sales are not enough to give stable numbers, RPD of $8,62
- Numbers were; $3,12 - $9,38 - $1,53 - $11,85 - $7,43 - $8,85 - $1,25 - $2,36 - $5,09 - $26,85 - $1,40 - $23,58 - $0,80 - $5,85 - $19,98

Sidenote: with the same video portfolio I had only in June on IStock: 28 Video sales for $204,56 (RPD $7,31)

Are any of you guys experienced massive buyout and refunds after some time? In last 1-2 months I've sold video clips for over $2k at Dreamstime. All of them were refunded of course with their crappy automated message. I bet that all those files will land on some pirate site. This month started the same. Someone with stolen credit card "buiyng" and massive downloading clips.

I had this "sales and refund" with videos at the start of the year, somewhere around February and had a discussion with the support.
At the end they said "If someone uses stolen credit cards, they have downloaded the files but they are of course not allowed to use the videos."... ridiculous and useless as a contributor.

Anybody having the similar lower sales on Adobe Stock during previous 3 weeks like me?

Yes, i had the same low numbers on AS during the last 3-4 weeks - about 50-70% of the 'normal' sales.

Got the paypal email about the Canva payment just 10 minutes ago

Hello Evaristo,

Thank you for the detailed answer. You obviously have a deeper understanding of neural networks than I do - I've only been working on programming them for about a year in my own environment (without Tensorflow or Keras).

Short answer to your questions: Yes, I train the networks exclusively with my own photos that don't require rights clearance or of which I have the rights clearance - it's just hard to add a few thousand reference photos as attachments when uploading

The website is a great example and I am familiar with the GAN networks - but my own NN environment is not yet that far advanced.

I'll wait and see how things develop with the "AI images" on the stock market - something should happen very soon, because I think the topic is becoming very acute.

For the creation of such images, I don't want to be dependent on another system later on, so that I don't have to ask for permission - hence the programming of my own environment.

Translated with DeepL.com

If the images are created by referencing other images, you may have a copyright issue.  Be sure to do a reverse image search to check for visible similarities.

Thanks, a good idea to do a reverse search to see if there are similar images.

The AI creates images from my very own images database and the results are a mathematical mixture of parameters of that images, extracted and transported via a neural network to a new created image.

Hello together,

I am currently facing the question of how I should upload images generated by an AI to AdobeStock?

Brief background:
I program neural networks myself without external libraries and without external image data. These generate stylized images (see examples below).
(This is not that very nice Dall e 2-AI, it is completely my own)

Are such images photo or illustration?
Do I need a model release and where should I get it from, since there is no model?
Or a property release? I would then have to have my computer sign it...

What do you think?

And before I get into trouble, I thought I'd throw this question out there.

I would be interested in your opinion and of course an official statement, how Adobe would like it :-)

Michael
