Of course, I thought it was in my exemplary snapshots above, sorry that I did not mention this explicitly (although I never did such deep digging like you; for me it was based on a mere but long operational observation [AKA evidence-based practice]). 😉

Still awaiting a reply....

The whole concept of editorial stock is under threat, and I’m glad that Alamy have decided to challenge BILD on this but am not over the moon about the approach they have taken; it seems manifestly unfair to seek redress from contributors who were simply abiding by Alamy’s stated rules. Nonetheless, other agencies must also be worried, especially if Alamy is found to be in breach of IPR, then they will be next.

Another observation. If working in 16 bit mode in PS with dither ON (Photoshop>Edit>Color Settings>Conversion Options>Use dither=ON) Saving as an jpg (8 bit) whilst in 16 bit mode does not add dither noise But swapping to 8 bit mode and then saving as a jpg does add dither noise (when the mode is swapped). Dither helps conceal visible banding a little at the expense of a tiny (just 1 bit) of added noise. This modifies my earlier conclusion slightly 1) If needing to make tonal adjustments it's best to work with 16 bit images in 16 bit mode. 2) But if only 8 bit image is available, open in PS and then to swap to 16 bit mode in PS before making the adjustments 3) If wanting to save the result as a new 8 bit image ensure Dither is ON, and swap back to 8 bit mode before saving the image I've set up 2 actions in my PS to swap from 8 bit to 16 bit mode (by pressing F3) and 16 bit to 8 bit (by pressing F4) and I have Use dither = ON in my settings.

Thanks so much ! I'll try that .... Update: cleared cookies and signed out, but still no joy 🥲 Any ideas @Alamy ?

An interesting thread. I am not involved but would be interested to know if Alamy win the case and are awarded costs, do they intend to refund the contributors they have deducted from.
