      @@MicrostockLife Yes, it was very helpful. I have one question. Do you have a video of showing the process of creating an Ai image, to upscaling it, correcting the details in photoshop and finally the uploading process in Adobe stock? By he way i saw some people's videos uploading their ai images without editing them first in Photoshop and at 72 dpi resolution. The resolution of our images must be at 300 dpi right? and not at 72 dpi.

      @MicrostockLife  11 місяців тому +1

      Hi, thanks for watching and for the question. It can certainly be a challenge! After some early attempts to organize by subject matter or file types, I simply gave up this kind of structure and keep everything I prepare for uploads in a folder called FINALS. This helps me keep my upload-ready, final work separated from the raw and in-process files. When it's time to upload, I simply open the FINALS folder, sort by date last opened, and submit the files with today's date (since I typically do daily uploading.) I hope this helps! Best of luck!

Since I've been doing this 15 years, I have built up a great library of assets that I can move around to create new animations and still images. Please see my video on 3d renders and you'll learn more about the process. I hope this helps!

    • @MicrostockLife
      @MicrostockLife  7 місяців тому

      Adobe Stock does permit it, though they advise against it. They do not allow it if the goal is to get around their review queue limitations.
      Shutterstock only allows it in certain conditions. I found this explanation:
      Shutterstock policy typically restricts the use of multiple accounts. However, a second account is permissible if it is registered under the name of a different legal entity with its own copyrighted material1. If you own a company, you can maintain one personal account under your name and one business account under the company name1. You may not open a second Shutterstock account without permission from Shutterstock2. You may not share the same online payment processing service account (like Payoneer, Paypal or Skrill) with another Shutterstock contributor.

    • @MicrostockLife
      @MicrostockLife  11 місяців тому +1

      Yes, keyword order is important. Putting the most important words or phrases in your top ten will help give your images or videos a boost. Adobe says this: "Adobe Stock’s search engine puts an emphasis on keywords based on the order you add them. The most important keyword should be listed first, followed by the second most important, and so on. The first 10 keywords are the most critical."

      Hi. Thanks for watching and for the question! I can totally understand why some people would want to turn it off, but I've left it on and it looks like I might earn about an extra $1,000 a year from it, probably based on my portfolio size. I think I would turn it off if I were a photographer whose portfolio was filled with extremely unique, niche location photography that is normally difficult for other microstockers to duplicate. It seems like they would have the most to lose. My own work, unfortunately, just isn't that unique and feeding the AI beast doesn't seem to pose the same risk to me. That's my two cents anyway!

    • @MicrostockLife
      @MicrostockLife  Рік тому

      To my eye, none of the platforms are achieving 'realism.' I'd say the most interesting one is Midjourney. The output that is supposedly realistic does look like photography, but it is typically extremely stylized. I think you can pretty quickly tell when you see an image created by Midjourney. They tend to look very fantastical and overly artistic. Not saying that's a bad thing. I've seen a lot of very cool stuff. But what we would call 'realistic photography,' that's another thing entirely. If you're asking which one is worth using, I'd say Midjourney. The others I've tried seem like they're still well behind Midjourney's technology.

Or if you aren't interested in doing illustrations or animations you could do shoots on weekends and build up a number of good images and videos and submit a few of those each day. And then you can supplement all of these with AI images and animations. I hope these ideas help. Best of luck to you.

    I've not seen any agency say you get "punished" for not uploading content consistently. It's just something contributors have heard and then repeat without anyone knowing where this "fact" came from. Maybe Instagram works like that but there is no reason why a photo agency should want to do the same. Their search function's goal is to place the best, most relevant content in front of their customers so that they quickly find what they're looking for. The idea that an agency would mess with the algorithm to favour worse pictures and videos as a "reward" for contributor consistency is non-sensical. Especially as this would often just be rewarding contributors for uploading rubbish (consistently).

    • @MicrostockLife
      @MicrostockLife  Рік тому +1

      You're right... 'Punishing' is probably too strong a term for it. Still, the agencies do strongly encourage consistent uploading. From Adobe: "If you have a high volume of assets to submit, your best approach will be to stagger your uploads and submit in smaller batches on a consistent basis. This can help surface your content in search results for an extended period of time and improve your chances of sales." stock.adobe.com/pages/artisthub/get-started/balancing-quantity-quality-content-stock-contributor-guide-pt-5
