Thats cool!!! Great work including the portfolio page. Is the mobile "fix" also taken into consideration? So we can keyword while being on the go? Thank you :).

Well here you go: https://www.alamy.com/portfolio/651415/toysandmore.html

Anyway....what i learned is that we should really take extra care with keywording anc captions. Something that i didnt do in the past :(. My newest images are getting all the keywords they deserve and older ones will be corrected. Like the Dutch say it is like hitting few flies in one hit. If you keyword them right in the Alamy Image Manager your are not only sure that they will appear on the rights searches in Alamy but also in all the 80 Distributors and off course the Google and Bing searches.

Thanks John for your adding :). Additionally I can say.that the above mention situation my.image will.be always come below images that have the keyword trash.bin.as supertag or in the caption. So my.trash bin will be just as an addition.to my main.subject. Mirco

I believe it is not and hard task to get 40 keywords. I mean I agree you should put only relevant keywords. That logic like the earth is round. But I think next to the most important tags that shows the main subject you should put also keywords of subjects in the image elsewhere. The supertags are created to highlight the main keywords or the most important ones. If there is a trash bin in the background I will add the keyword. If there are some yellow leaves on the ground I will add it. If the sky is blue I will add blue sky. There are buyers that would like to have an image that shows those for any kind of reason that only they know. That why they are not supertags. If you tag all emotions... all things... important colors... etc you will reach easy green and you are keywording rightfull. Key is to know which keywords should be supertags and what should be in the caption. The most important that shows directly main subject should be supertags and possible added as sentence in the caption. Mirco

A little bit out of track but i am curious how many times Philippe or photographer using his service was stung by taking this photo :

Also as far as i know an RM-E image a client can still buy it as non-exclusive. The next buyer will know about it and can still decide to buy the RM-E or not as exclusive. The key is just on the point that they dont need to wait for your approval but can get it right away. If you have your photos on Alamy only i think RM-E is the best choice. People like to get products right away. If they have to wait they could jump to an other choice. Mirco

Dont forget one thing about RM. There are many clients out there that needs a exclusive image. This is with RF as goods as impossible. Mirco
