Going the right way
jackietraveller replied to isphoto's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
I agree. And also I have seen some quite large clearance payments for images dating back to 2022. -
I agree but the L word is beyond the scope of the present discussion by request of the OP so Nitro could be a very good option with its stated integration with the Finder and Photos app. Certainly worth checking out.

No, he contacted me directly - nobody's hard to find these days. He wanted to make Alamy an offer, so I told him it was Alamy's decision to make. He then emailed me again to say that he had had his offer accepted (much lower than Alamy's original demand, sadly) Alex -

Yes, I had a brief go with it. As expected, because it uses Apple's processing engine, adjustments are fast, fluid and interactive. But I didn't find those adjustments to be as refined as LR/ACR and some of the terminology used is different. There's no Auto CA removal that I could find (manual only) which is a big timesaver for me in LR/ACR. I also didn't spot a "solo mode" for the adjustment panels which is something I like In LR. But, Nitro is a very capable package (more features than the previous Raw Power package). It's very reasonably priced, with monthly or yearly subscription and perpetual option. I'll be sticking with my Adobe Photo subscription (bought with Black Friday discount) as PS/LR/ACR tools/results are class leading IMO. I do need to upgrade my hardware though. Mark - Today

That looks interesting Mark. The Gentlemen Coders seem to know what they are doing on macOS.

Once upon a time, my photos used to be tagged with my name. Every once in a while, someone would call to say they didn't like something. You can find a contact on the Internet in a few minutes. Once I took the liberty of taking a photo of a car on the street, and the man on the phone was angry that he had not permitted me to take a photo. Another time, someone else called to say that they wanted a photo from me, which is on Alamy. He was probably a graphic artist from the bank that was in the picture. I told him to go ahead and buy it from Alamy. It wouldn't be a lot of money, At that moment he started cursing, threaten lawyers, courts etc. Such phone calls will ruin your whole weekend. That's when I thought I didn't need to listen to it and renamed all my photos. Since then I have been without stupid phone calls. RðŸ«

Tags and keywords
Nick Hatton replied to Brian Vickers's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
Regarding the advice about having too many similar images, i am never quite sure how to deal with this one, I have approaching 1000 images of Pilgrims walking the Camino de Santiago on here,but apart from locations all captions and keywords are similar, could this be hurting my rank? By the way they are doing well for me in sales terms. -

ISTR you're on a Mac so this new App (Nitro Photo) from the guy that used to work for Apple on Aperture Software might be of interest. There'a a 7 day free trial from the App store. https://www.gentlemencoders.com/nitro-for-macos/index.html Mark -

You've been robbed Edo!! Great picture that's left me salivating, I'm going to recreate that (the food, not the image) for Saturday brunch this Easter weekend. -
Alex, out of curiosity - did the infringement team forward the infringer's email to you? Presumably the infringer hasn't contacted you directly (Alamy wouldn't pass on your email address I'm assuming). Steve

I have often been critical of some of the fees obtained by Alamy. however, i have noticed that there seems to be noticeable increase in recent rates being obtained, also had a nice amount drop into my sales for "Infringement Income". Lets hope this trend continues and well done to Alamy for getting infringers to cough up.

Thanks for posting. I just tried Geeqie (nice and fast) and gthumb (neat but slower). I think I'll stick with XnViewMP. My favourite was BreezeBrowser but that's Windows only, (although it does run under Crossover). I use FreeFileSync to keep my drives in Sync Mark -
