KODAKovic Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Looking at LR catalog, i noticed a backlog of about 200,000 pics since 2004 , a quarter suitable for Alamy. My workflow is to select a small portion of each folder and upload to Alamy. The idea behind that is to diversify uploading...as soon as i uploaded enough different subjects i come back to previously managed folders and find new files to upload. Making this process, my priority are those files i consider belonging to topics more sellable. How do you guys proceed? Did you end processing your backlog and upload newer shots or you have my same "issue" with many files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokie Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I'm working on a backlog going back to March 2016. I alternate between catching up with older images and any newer images that, fill a gap/are better than those I've already got/I think are saleable/I like. John.

Not sure how to measure it against others but I'm pretty happy, although I could complain about prices! How about this, I sell on average 3 images per each 1000 my per month. This pattern picked up in the past 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betty LaRue Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I’m not against what you are doing, because you are getting them uploaded. Myself, if I came across images out of those 1333 that stood out, I might put those aside for full processing and tagging. Whether I would do those first or last is the question. Then again, that’s just me! Betty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
