BILD infringements?
John Mitchell replied to Jansos's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
Same thought crossed my mind. A quick look at AIM shows that there is certainly no shortage of "logo" searches by clients. Surely they couldn't all be "frivolous" as well?🙃 P.S. I can think of a certain high profile American business and political character who is a master of this type of litigation and who may soon be getting his comeuppance, but we won't mention his name of course. 😬 - Yesterday

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 ... 💡

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".

WHAT CAMERA IS EVERYONE USING?
Hazel replied to Resolute Inc's question in Community support: ask the forum
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. -

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. -

Personal use sales
John Mitchell replied to geebee's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
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!

Personal use sales
Harry Harrison replied to geebee's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
If they really have done that then surely they should have A. Told us and B. Updated AIM because you can opt out of Personal Use but not Presentation sales so if they are now one and the same how does that work?.
