I like your octopus. Those are beautiful images. They have flow that takes your eyes around the image. I took art classes at a university and learned about such things. For me, mixing elements of AI art with my own digital art in post processing gives the results I like. AI can be good as an assist so you can still add your own unique elements to an image. And it makes your image copyrighted as all AI art that is unretouched is in the Public Domain.

Thank you. Would love to see a video on taking AI art into Procreate and working on it further to customize while keeping the style and aesthetic. Fixing features and adding patterns, etc, without losing the overall feel. Some of the MJ art is textured. So matching textures, for example. Thanks for sharing!

[@Geekatplay]

Great suggestion!

[@victormultanen1981]

thank you for very needed educational content on AI art industry topic.

[@CuddaBrown]

Thanks Mr Geek... youre a life saver.

[@CF71960]

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for, thank you!

[@NeuroKnowledge1111]

Thanks this Video was very useful and exactly one I was "searching" for :) fortunately I got it recommended! Thank you :)

[@Geekatplay]

Glad it was helpful!

[@RiyadJaamour]

I came across this channel while just browsing and this is THE ONLY subject nobody talks about as they should so thank you truly! wanted to ask, u mentioned the ability to do the art as a letter (almost 8*11 inches) which is required alot when printed on canvases or mattes, the question to be is that if u want to have all the options available for the customer, u would have to prepare prints of sizes as big as 24*30 inches, would that be a possple thing to do with the AI scaler?

[@myrelaxingmeditationsounds]

this is so helpful, thank you

[@Geekatplay]

thank you for your support!

[@EndikaZulaika-xn4bs]

You do a very good job, keep it up. One question, I have not seen how you prepare the color with photoshop. Do you work with the adobe rgb space and then when exporting you pass it to cmyk? Or do you directly work the file with the cmyk space? midjourney images if viewed with cmyk, change a bit, especially more magenta. Thank you.

[@zimnelredoran9985]

Thanks for this :)) Top notch content!

Your A.I. art is pillow!!

thank you again Vladimir.Great Video!!

[@adrewbateman1760]

Hello sir ! Love your channel ! Would love an updated video on this now that mid journey had an update and added a bunch of new Aspect ratios ..what each one is good for and the best setting if we are going to be sell our creations ! Thank you ! One more question…what about watermarks .? I notice most ppl on Etsy don’t have any watermarks ..so should I or shouldn’t I add one to my listings .?

[@carlbt1422]

Thank you Vladimir! This is very helpful.

[@eurossocial]

Wow! Thank you for this video. Very helpful. I was searching for such a video, for some days now. Almost all the videos I've watched, about selling their Ai images, people are uploading their photos at 72 dpi resolution! Because No Ai-generator will ever provide us with 300dpi images. And I was wondering, Do these stock photos websites accept images that are not at 300 dpi Ready-for-print resolution? As I know it is a must for printing or for selling, right?. At least Adobe Stock should demand the 300dpi for the Ai generated images... By the way, don't, drag, enlarge or reduce your pictures like that in Photoshop, it will lose its pixels quality. You should firstly convert them into "Smart objects" Instead, and after do all the editing. Photoshop has to learn from its counterpart "Affinity photo" on this (for the pictures not to lose their quality when we drag-and-drop them... Anyway have you created a video on how to prepare our images for the Stock-photos websites?

[@TheSimonjelenic]

I love your videos. Can you make a tutorial for KDP covers with AI? I have really hard time to make one!

[@infographie]

Excellent

[@jac001]

Great vid. How are you providing both portrait and landscape files? A zip file? Or do you have two different listings, or some other way.. thanks!

[@devnull_]

I've noticed that most of the AI art on these sites is sold without declaring it as such. Bad move. I see one guy from eastern Europe, selling 4000+ images tagged among other things only as "3d rendering" or something along those lines... most people buying stock art may not recognize AI generated looks, those images have tell tale signs / people may feel cheated and it at least is very dishonest. I also saw another guy pump out hundreds if not 1000+ cyborgs or such, very generic "AI art" look... not a wise idea to flood sites in hopes of quick cash.

[@evacuatedspace69]

Thanks for that, do you know how to add different pictures for one picture for sale on Etsy, so as to advertise different styles of the same picture on one page, or even different canvases?

[@Geekatplay]

yes, i have video in production, that cover more about etsy

[@paulshirley]

I was going to sub.. But I already have lol.. I did like tho. Thanks for video.. useful information.

[@Geekatplay]

Thanks for the sub!

[@thestrangefruitempire]

I have watched like 5 videos and still lost on the resize to sell various ratios and sizes thing . I sell digital AI art and I can’t crop it off or half the image will be gone . Seems only ratio that doesn’t cut off is 1:1 or 20x20 . Any tips are appreciated. I’m using Photoshop to resize and Lightroom to Upscale or Enhance for now . If there is a more user friendly way let me know

[@thestrangefruitempire]

My aren’t is if humans by the way so I can’t crop it down it will cut their body off

[@EmmaP491]

This is something I have been looking for, so thank you for all the time and energy you have put into making this video. Quick question? After you have edited your photos in photoshop, what type of file do you download to your computer from photoshop to sell? PNG, PDF, PSD, JPEG, or TIFF?

[@Geekatplay]

Depend on service requirements, my first chose is TIF, PNG, if any problem with sizes, then JPG

[@EmmaP491]

@@Geekatplay Thank you. I really appreciate the information.

[@bambinoesu]

they say if you want to print in color use jpeg, if it's just line art or digital file then png

[@eoslove2022]

There will be a tsunami of Ai 'art' on sale everywhere as this fad takes hold; unfortunately, the quality will be diluted and the work of 'real' creators will be subject to downward price pressures.

[@blyrax]

We live in interesting times. Not only will the market be saturated, but it will be full of criminally overpriced artworks, aka false advertising. The artworks will be high-quality, but extremely cheap and overpriced. Remember the videogame crash of 1983? The market got saturated with low quality videogames and eventually crashed. I'd like to know how the market will react to the sudden influx of AI art. That said, this is quite the irony - They said the democratization of art was a good thing, yet they hide their prompts for the purpose of gatekeeping. - They hide their prompts to protect their brand, but think it's their right to access infinite amounts of human artists styles. - They want to profit off their cheap labor, but help in the exploitation of the artists who fuel their generators.

[@Anti-HyperLinkLPs]

So naive.

[@bigman7856]

I may be a mere malding artist, but I usually consider most (not all) AI art to be stolen/unethical. Some people are basically using machines to steal without giving credit to the original artist(s). I think you are doing very well with this method. Using some kind of human touch to adapt, improve, and most importantly create value is good for AI art. Otherwise it will become over done and totally worthless. As a digital artist, I find Ai very useful for references and inspiration. I also like it for texture work and patterns. I still try to avoid using AI for textures because some of it could've been trained with real photographer's work and it's hard to trace an origin for credits. Ill often see artists I follow on social media talking about how people trained AI with their art and sold that art either with the artists name or as their own artwork. Some even have the gall to steal from smaller artists and claim to be the original creator of a certain style. Make sure you call out those things when you see them. We will eventually be able to realistically assign value to AI art and I hope people understand a quality piece from rubbish. The amount of value comes from your creativity and skill with prompts (people will eventually find out if you are copying that), and how much work you put in after generating the image.

[@eprohoda]

epic joob! see u around!broth.=)

[@Geekatplay]

Thanks for the visit

[@apostolisa1674]

Just have one question. How do you export the 2 different sizes? Meaning what dimensions, what type of image? Essentially what to select in the export screen. Thank you in advance!

[@Geekatplay]

i am generating with 2 different aspect rate, 3:2 and 2:3 , you can use same seed for same looking picture or click on variations and change AR there

[@apostolisa1674]

@@Geekatplay Sorry, i may have phrased it wrong. What I meant is in photoshop export screen. Do you export images as pdf, as png or jpg? What is best for Etsy for example? Or maybe you just "save as" in photoshop and do not use export?

[@DrNothing23]

Why not upscale in PS, since you do other post processing there?

[@Geekatplay]

i have video with compressing upscaling in PS and other apps. Gigapixel preform best

[@ciprianandrus1544]

Hello, did you upload some of your AI images on shutterstock?

[@egyptianmist4098]

What is the name of the program he used to scale the image.

[@Geekatplay]

Gigapixel

[@WhiskeyBlack777]

Makes me SICK & PISSED off that some people are scummy & lazy enough to where they can't even bother creating their own AI art, but have to steal stuff others have created. That's the lowest of the effing low right there. Total wastes of space. There are absolutly zero excuses for that crap.

You’re angry about the thief getting stolen from?

Etsy and Fiverr are bad at promoting your work, I put a lot of effort into the art but it doesnt get anywhere.

[@Steger13]

Who buy those art when you can make it your self? Make no sense you can make your own and make it even better then those.

All this rant, for "make sure to upscale" ? Just wasted 20 minutes of my life on this 😂

[@johnhawkinshawkins1284]

You're lucky that you know ALL about art and taste; why don'y you buy alll the art I might like or Mrs. Jones my neighbour? Your arrogance knows no bounds. So this poor vid is about your taste, not preparation...so in other words you are trying to tell us all how absolutely brilliant your taste is!

[@Geekatplay]

thank you for your compliment.

[@Roooooooo22]

Why would anyone buy ai art when you yourself can do it in seconds

[@cashonline101]

Because someone would probably like a particular image which with the same prompt would not be able to be reproduced.

[@AdamMaykov]

it's not as easy as it might seem, try it yourself before writing this)

It's impossible to decrease the value of ai art. It is worthless from the beginning.

[@dinosaursneverexisted8985]

Why should I pay for "your art" when I can just make my own using the same tools? silly..

[@Snackward]

Be careful using mockups. Etsy's policy requires photos of the actual print. Using the method shown in this video will get your shop shut down.

[@dannieamme8180]

So if u just uploaded a image of the Print u'd get shut down?

[@antonie.1004]

Simply not true, been on selling on Etsy for a year using mockups.
