It looks blurred.

I found this when I googled your problem https://www.pcrisk.com/removal-guides/27548-deployplatform-adware-mac also there are YouTube videos on how to remove it

Yesterday, after putting in a DVD of old images from 2006, a box popped up that says: "DeployPlatform.gqa" will damage your computer. This file was downloaded on an unknown date. inside of this box is an OK box and a "Show in Finder" box, both within the warning box. A line with "Report malware to Apple to protect other users. I have clicked on the "Show in Finder" box multiple times and get no response for Finder, but the same warning box pops up again. Over & over. The only thing I clicked on out of the ordinary yesterday was the John Morrison blog, but that wasn't on my iMac, it was on my iPad. I can't think my DVD was the problem, it was burned years ago from images taken with my Nikon D200 from a folder on my desktop...who knows what computer I was using then, but I have never had a virus or malware on any of my Macs. Or PC back in the days before Mac. I can't understand why "Show in Finder" doesn't work, and I don't know how to find this file and delete it. Incidentally, Bridge quit working when all of this happened. I'm using Bridge 22 as I hate the newest one. At one point, I had a popup box when I clicked on the "show in finder" box that spoke of malware and gave me a link I clicked on that then told me Safari was not connected to the Internet. I found I still had Firefox, so brought that up. It works, & that's what I'm using at the moment. I just checked PS & Bridge, & Bridge loaded, but the "Show in Finder" box still doesn't work. I'm at a total loss what to do. Right now as I type this, the warning, "DeployPlatform.gqa" box is front and center. I cannot get rid of it, and I can't find out where to find it in the guts of this computer. HELP!!! Most of you are aware how incompetent I am with computer technology. Any instructions for me will need to be straightforward & simple. As in: #1 do this. #2 do this. etc. Don't say go to blah blah and do this because I probably can't find blah blah.

bright background thru tree branches... did you apply defringing, especially green? I'm not an authority, but I apply +2 defringing, purple AND green to ALL my images...

Hi, Just got my first QC failure in nearly 6 years on Alamy and after 210 successful submissions. Usual explanation - SoLD, soft or lacking definition. Had another look at it myself but can't see the problem. Need a fresh set of eyes to have a look. Posted it to an image sharing site and, not having done this before, I've posted this link to it. Hopefully it's the right one at 100%. https://ibb.co/xH7LzT9 Picture was taken with a Sony A68, Sony 24-70mm lens at 50mm, 1/50 at f/11, image stabilisation on. After processing it was downsized to 4500x3000px. If you could take a look and let me know what you think I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Brian.

assuming all reported here is reality, sent this: Sales / Alamy Forum members have just learned active contributor John Morrison recently had stroke, is in hospice & terminally ill. Some of us want to show we appreciate him by each licensing one of his images. It appears the lowest price is $19.99US personal use. Is it possible to set up one non-controversial image at lower rate? We understand Alamy will still take share. Here are John Morrison's images AFAICT: https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/?_gl=1*169xn99*_ga*MjExMjA0NzM4Ny4xNjUyMDIxMDI0*_ga_M5V9H9N7G8*MTcxMzk3ODQwNC4yNjUyLjEuMTcxMzk3OTAzNy4wLjAuMA..&cid=QV43RUU5DRYJH9A9CSU8QLM8SKRRU3TVN3BLB3344WRBUPULNBNUBPBAWYMU9C92&comp=1&mode=0&name=John+Morrison&sortBy=relevant&st=12 Please advise. Thanks in advance. regards jg

I've never heard of Calder Valley, but chances are I'd like it too.

Apparently we are their insurance. 😨

Visiting a few of his images, it appears he was still photographing at least in near mid November. Perhaps even later. It makes me think of my own mortality, which I find I do more often these days. Things can change rapidly in this old world.

That's a very good question. A friend's goat. I'll have to ask her! My friend, not the goat.

Done

Very sad to hear this news.

I’m sure the whole Alamy forum is hanging on for the answer to this question. Where are her ears? Did you cut them off? 😉

Hurray for the month end. Magazine, low $$. Sparrowhawks, England.

Hello George, Search of the forum also found this.

To opt out of Additional revenue options, do the following: Go to Contributor Dashboard Click Additional revenue options to expand the arrow Select the status that you would like, "in" or "out"

This standard license includes 'print runs up to 100,000' - hardly Personal Use

I was wondering if supplying vectors automatically dictates which commission model is placed upon the artist. Is it just performance based only, no matter what you supply?

Hi Steve, Thanks for flagging this with us. Are you able to send over examples (screen grabs) to contributors@alamy.com, so we can look into this. Thanks, Chantelle

Thanks Paulette for giving me the answer. At first I thought the calculation was wrong as I was taking '40% distributor commission' to mean my commission, but it is of course exactly what it says. Now I can see that the calculation is correct and as you say, the poor old photographer only gets a 'wee bit'! Paul
