Great video, was about asking that what about doing a frequency separation on the skin of the model to make it smoother, but you answered my question already, started taking model pictures not quite long so out of 40 pictures I decided to smoothen the skin of 20 and leave the remaining 20 and see which will be accepted, submitted on Shutterstock and Adobe stock, well to my surprise everything was accepted lol
I don't worry about using AI because I have played with AI, but I am usually not happy with the results, so I stick to traditional tools. Most of my edits, beyond cropping, color balance, and shadow highlight adjustments, are to remove distracting elements. But I am confused about the 10% rule. If the sky is more than 10% of your image, can you replace it? Also, I still don't understand why you cannot use generative expand because it uses the information from your photo to expand the photo. I usually use this when I want to tweak the composition or keep the subject a little further from the edge.
@WollertzPhotography I was wondering about one thing, do you know if stock agencies do some "house cleaning" from time to time? In other words can stock agency delete your photo from the database once it was accepted? For example deleting photos that didn't sold for X times or something like that?
Not that I’ve heard off, I have 20k photos that haven’t sold, some do ask if you want to move the files that haven’t sold in a couple of years to the free section, but I’ve always said NO
Hello sir , I generate ai image in openart ai free version and upload on adobe stock , some ai image have sold on adobe ...i want to ask that can i use openart free image for adobe ... please reply 😅😢😊
You would have to check with openart them selves, I don't use them so i don't know their rules, usually free versions don't include the license to sell but as i said im not familiar
hello dear, I removed brand name of excavators using Lightroom ai remove tool and I uploaded images to Shutterstock, all images accepted. one image sold for fifteen dollars.dear ,my account will be suspended?
You were lucky I had 10 refused on Shutterstock for using a bit of AI sharpening and I was told that a photo that had been modified at any part of the editing process would be refused on shutterstock.
that was immensely helpful, thank you! 😊🙏👍
Glad it was helpful!

Thank you, yes each agency is different and when something is done well most of the time it is not noticeable 🤷♂️

Not at all, shutterstock doesn't have the same rules as Getty
