As a book cover designer (and to promo my own books) I've used DepositPhotos for years. Unfortunately, they now require you to use AI for simple things (like background remover, which they will charge you a whole separate picture for). Every time I log on lately there's some new AI thing, which got me to finally write this review. There is little transparency in the use and the cost, they push for AI in the searches, etc, which is insanely detrimental to the environment. Moreover, it makes it hard for those of us in the book industry (and other businesses I presume) where it is imperative to disclose use of AI (and that use has and understandable negative connotation). This is a very disappointing move by DepositPhotos. I'll use up my repurchased credits and then go elsewhere for licensed images.
