Some of you may not be aware, but the wonderful AI and Generative Fill features that have been added this year don’t come unconditionally. Each month you have a fixed number of Credits or clicks you can use. When they are used up at the moment the only penalty is Photoshop runs slower (not sure if that’s on all functionality or just the generative fills / AI??) but it makes me wonder if Adobe will start metering out these new add on features in the same way as limited minutes/text on mobile phones, whereby if you go over your limit you start to pay more and expensively! Something to watch. Because I have been experimenting a lot with these new features it’s no surprise that I have already exhausted my credits this month. At the moment I am still able to use the features but need to monitor it carefully next month when Adobe set in place their new strategy for these features. The sad thing about this is that I can understand them charging/limiting the AI part of the program as it’s using their stock images as well as the programming. But it also includes the generative fill which is a super slick alternative to manual cloning. It means every time you lasso a picture defect or extend the canvas and hit generative one of your credits has gone!!! Adobe are suggesting that if I want more credits than the 100 they are giving with the £10/month subscription, I can always change my plan = pay more /month!  Click here to comment on this image.

True …but it makes me wonder if ANY or EVERY new editing feature that is added to Photoshop v26/27 etc in the future, will be tagged as limited use as opposed to a modest monthly subscription increase with unlimited use? I am not bothered about charging for AI because it’s something that I am unlikely to use much having now experimented with it, but the generative fill is and extremely useful slicker alternative to cloning out unwanted details. This could entail multiple applications on a single image which would restrict how much you could achieve each month.

Photoshop subscription is not cheap to start with and I think they hope to not price themselves out of the market by just upping the subs - so charging per use for enhancements probably makes commercial sense. Ebay are introducing a "new regulatory operating fee" of .35% on top of their selling fees - much the same sort of underhand method of getting more profit!

Rarely use eBay these days. Losing 14% of the sale price from selling and payment charges not to mention low sale prices and postage have made it a no brainer for me when selling photo gear, I go to WEX. Their prices are usually good for A+ equipment (assuming they haven’t got several of your items on the shelf already) and they give the same price for cash deals as they do for PX. They collect for free so no postage.

I have sold some stuff to MPB and got better net prices than Ebay. But sometimes the auction "frenzy" boosts prices beyond normal even after fees - I always list stuff when there is an 80% off fees deal going.
