**Using Mid-Journey and Adobe Stock: A Guide to Submitting Reader Terms and Conditions**
As an artist using generative AI tools like Mid-Journey, it's essential to understand the rights and permissions required for submitting images to Adobe Stock. This article will guide you through the process of preparing your images for submission, including upscaling, labeling, and keywording.
**Understanding Permissions and Rights**
Before submitting your images to Adobe Stock, ensure you have the necessary permissions and rights to do so. In my case, I had a membership with Mid-Journey that included the license to submit images to Adobe stuff. However, it's crucial to verify the terms and conditions of your chosen AI tool to avoid any issues.
**Avoiding Serious Flaws in Design and Outputs**
When selecting tools for generating images, consider avoiding those with serious flaws in design and outputs. This is particularly important when dealing with identifiable people, properties, or famous characters. Don't submit images that could lead to copyright infringement or other issues.
**Labeling, Title, and Tag Content**
All images submitted to Adobe Stock must be labeled correctly. I used the following guidelines for labeling my image:
* **Title**: "Cyborg Cat on White Background" with a subtitle "Generated by Generative AI"
* **Tag Content**: Include keywords like "generative AI," "cyborg cat," and "robotic animal"
**Prioritizing Creativity and Quality**
When submitting images to Adobe Stock, prioritize creativity and maintain high quality. Don't submit every single image you create; instead, focus on the best ones. I used Fast Image Viewer to upscale my image four times to achieve a good quality.
**Uploading Images to Adobe Stock**
To upload your images to Adobe Stock, follow these steps:
1. Create an account on the Adobe Stock website.
2. Head over to the URL provided and click "Join Now" to create your contributor account.
3. Click the "Upload" button and find your image.
4. Drag it down to the designated area.
**Modifying Image Labels**
After uploading your image, modify the labels to ensure accuracy. I used Fast Image Viewer to zoom in on the image and make sure the labels were correct.
**Keywording Images**
When keywording images, include relevant terms that describe the content. For my image, I included keywords like "generative AI," "cyborg cat," and "robotic animal." You can use Adobe Stock's auto-suggest feature to find suitable keywords.
**Earning Money on Adobe Stock**
Adobe Stock pays a commission for each image downloaded. The commission rates are as follows:
* 33 cents per image download ( subscription downloads)
* Between $0.30 and $26.40 per image download (extended license downloads)
While this may not make you rich, it can be a passive income stream if you have successful images.
**Conclusion**
By following these guidelines and tips, you can successfully submit your AI-generated images to Adobe Stock while maintaining the necessary permissions and rights. Remember to prioritize creativity, quality, and accuracy when labeling, titling, and keywording your images.
