Two ecological activists, one male, one female, have taken direct action to protest against the building of a new hotel by occupying two cranes on the site. They ascended twenty metres to the top of the cranes on Tuesday night and have stayed there in an effort to stop the construction. They have withstood strong winds, sun, and even rain on their first night. They say that they will not come down until the work is stopped completely.

Bump. Great pictures, if you haven’t posted, do so!☺️

Same thought crossed my mind. A quick look at Measures shows that there is certainly no shortage of "logo" searches by clients. Surely they couldn't all be "frivolous" as well?🙃

Chrome used to display all extensions next to the address bar, but later made them collapse into a puzzle piece icon. To force displaying them, click the puzzle piece icon, and then the pin of the extension you want to see: Side note: for having recently updated a laptop with Windows 7 ... I'd say these machines should be updated to Win10 (or Win11 if the processor permits it). I think Google Chrome stopped updating itself on Windows 7, so your version may not match the one everyone has. Once the extension icon is there, it will be populated with the caption and keywords as soon as you see that metadata popup. From there, click "Copy" to copy to the clipboard, or "Insert" to insert them automatically in the Alamy AIM for the selected photo(s). I share the same impression you have. I found GPT-4 quite an improvement in quality upon GPT-3.5, and their Vision API (that now Google and probably others also offer) gave me the idea for that extension. I find they also release major improvements at a faster pace than your average digital product. Sorry Mark, I didn't test with Brave. If you found the right click menu, then the extension is loaded correctly and you have generated keywords. Now, how to access them? It seems Brave behaves the same as Chrome and hides all extension under the puzzle piece icon (see tutorial video of another extension: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1sHTWeJVIs&t=57s). Note that I've added extension settings to autofill keywords in the portfolio manager (so in our case here, the AIM), so you only right-click an image, and the caption/keywords end up in the AIM, without clicking any extension icon. I do that myself. But when publishing the extension, I thought it was safer to other users to disable them by default. I have learnt on this forum today that having to pin the extension icon is not a better idea ... 💡

Yes, I had the same thing, a 48 hour wait instead of 24.

Thanks for the feedback! About finding the exact subject: I find that impressive, for locations that I didn't think were that popular, and for which even partial photos get predicted the right name. I've seen it with plants (latin name), animals, and locations (distinctive skylines, buildings and natural features). Also, I found out that if your photos are geotagged, Alamy gets the metadata but doesn't leverage it: contributors have to enter the location manually. Since all my photos are geotagged, and I think it's reasonable work (for both them and me ) to make possible to a) get the Alamy location field populated automatically, and b) get the caption/keywords predictions more accurate by also passing the location with the prompt. I think we're in a time where both humans and AI (here, LLMs) add their own value to the keywording process. However, I believe one is improving much faster than the other, and it's very possible that sooner than later it'll do things for which we think humans are required for today. In my case, it's "I need my human eyes to screen the keywords a last time before the photo gets published".

Thank you Cecile and Gen!

Nope, it was real, but best not eat Gherkins before bed.

Remember that if one shot failed, the whole batch will fail. My equipment is very simple. A Canon EOS M5 with one pancake lens that is nice for street photography. The camera came with a zoom lens which I use most often. Some of the shots from my first EOS camera and my old 7-D have been accepted. Lightroom Classic for editing.

It might help to know where in the UK you saw it. It has a begonia look about it.

Is this just a pre-emptive attack on Alamy I wonder, another site has plenty of close-ups of the Bild logo under Editorial but not in Creative. Seems reasonable.

Deleted. Dumb question.

Not sure, but it does suggest that a lot of PU and Presentation sales might not have actually been PU and Presentation sales. P.S. To be fair, though, anonymous e-commerce customers apparently now see only the Standard and Enhanced licensing options in search results -- i.e. it seems that the Personal and Presentation use options are gone except for clients with existing accounts.

Great action shots Sally!
