Thanks - that's what I meant. Also thanks to those who supplied the email address. I shall await the updated contract before I decide... Kevin

I've tried keeping up with this topic, but 75 pages is a lot. In short, Alamy have drafted an unfair and unenforceable contract: they (in a British Court) could not hold us accountable for mistakes/deliberate misuse by a third party when we have no control or even any contact with those parties. That said, I have no intention of putting it to the test. I make menial amounts from stock sales and certainly can't envisage going through the Courts to prove a point. I can't imagine that any insurer will cover photographers for the risk of other people misusing an image that

Hope you don't mind .... I think it's the highlights that need toning down. I spent 5 mins playing - from PS I opened it in the RAW filter - reduced contrast, lightened shadows, played with curves and added a vignette. I de-saturated cyan in PS. Not my best effort, but only 5 mins. The highlights in my edit are a bit grey and would need more work, but it's worth persisting, as the image is really a good and well timed capture. All the best Kevin

There's a previous forum topic on this - And a website - https://www.ascrl.org/ Hope this helps. Kevin

I had one sell for pennies last year and it was the 'novel use' thing, I opted out on 1st April - it's under the "Additional Revenue Options" Kevin

Longish list

Damn, pipped to the post

If you're really strggling ... Print them out, place them face down, swirl them around and pick 8, blind. 🤯

Thank you, both Kevin

Please educate me: what is DACS?

Looking at the page source, the header shows this email info@en.newvisiontours.com Could be a good start point

Quality and relevance above quantity. I have very few with 50, many with 30ish

What they said, plus the titles/captions need attention - e.g "Manhattan bridge New York iat night n winter " is full of typos (I retain my crown as king of the typo). many more keywords required. I usually check web pages and articles for appropriate words. The spellings of keywords need to be correct unless you are keywording with common mis-spellings intentionally - e.g. Manhattan, Manhatton, Manhatten Cheers Kevin

You remind me of my Irish-origin wife - not physically, of course 🙄
