a refund was issued yesterday! so a new lower price but still a good sale. thanks for the help guys.

doesnt the same also apply for people such as police / fire etc, in the course of their normal business, as long as they are public location too? ive read some horror stories about the terrorism act being used by police with some friends of mine, i stand on the, no they are wrong if its in public its fair game side of the coin. they have been subdued though, through fear of prosecution.

i notice this a lot too, they infringe us, but then have a knowledge enough to put their own notices. surely thats classed as flagrant breaching, given they know enough to inforce their own CR's?

yea it reads to me (never having had a refund before or know the alamy way, as well as many on here), that they have put both through and the lower sale could be an extension price maybe, as all details bar my summary above are identical. i too would have expected a cancellation /refund then "corrected" sale almost immediately after. of course i'll keep updated on situation. either / or both a nice sale

i got a sale on the 5th, very happy with it. licence dates are: Start: 05 April 2018 End: 05 April 2023 but then today for the same usage the dates are: Start: 09 April 2018 End: 09 April 2028 Duration is life of the edition but for a lower amount (a good 40% difference). - still a nice number though. any ideas if this will result in a refund? how common are they? it seems to me that they are getting a better deal for a lower price, given its longer and has the extra note about duration on. both still showing as live on sales, if it was a refund, wouldnt they have refunded that and then bought the new one straight away? or is there some overlap and both sales will go ahead? and the lower amount is kinda "extra" to cover the additional 5 years and the duration notice? thanks

yea agree, thats how i roll. jpg has it's place for quick upload or social media / send to friends (a lot ask where ive been this weekend etc so a quick low res snap to show them occasionally.

a little tip, in windows you can search for file type, i shoot jpg and raw, so to delete the jpgs. i search for "*.jpg" and it will only show those files with .jpg extension. leaving only RAW behind. i also just today used *.mp4 search to delete some movie files from a mixed SD that had some short clips on.

i'm keywording images, and to be honest it's the first time i've got to grips with the new AIM properly, having had to take time off and let my current images until now earn "passively". noticed the additional info under optional tab, is there any ranking / search benefit to including information in here? im thinking it may be suitable to include info on the subject, eg say of a football game, including the attendances or the score / other info, or say of an aircraft its top speed or cruising height etc or passenger carrying number etc? kind of like ready made picture research for the user. i'm used to doing that for images sold by myself, eg supply image and do the research on the subject or my most common images, i have a "pick from here" list of around a dozen or more common facts and in most cases the buyer chooses one or more and i get a slight uplift in prices for giving them a full ready made piece to print.

theres been some talk of ink pricing etc earlier in thread. BUT... including ink, and paper etc. what would be some average prices for say 8x6 - 10x8 -12x10 etc? ive never home printed, always thought the cost would be too prohibitive, but last time i ran the numbers was a good few years ago now, anyone got any upto date numbers to ponder? i use digitalab in newcastle UK, great lab, there used to be one on my doorstep RGB labs, but this closed about 4 years ago i think not long after i discovered them!

ahh, i had a document with the refs in to try today etc, and i written them out as OR.. so left it at that, and then drew up a short list of AND ones, ill stick to OR now, and yes, the "on sale" label in AIM was annoying me not working till i realised a refresh at server level was needed! thanks for the tips guys.

niels! so many thanks! works a treat and i've just been able to keyword around 20 images nice and quickly this morning using your tip!

just got a $212 sale on friday. happy with that. book, 25k copies, educational.

ahh that explains it then! im sure it will work once thats done. i'll leave it 24 hours and report back after trying, thanks for your help.

that also doesnt seem to be working, will i need to wait for alamy's server refresh? the other images from older sub are optimized, the newer sub is orange and just "on sale", and using the "ref AND ref" doesnt show any.

hi all. i've got to keywording images, after a sale spurred me on! i have a set of 7 images that are on sale, and discovered a couple more from that batch / topic that i wanna add the already done tags (for the sale images), onto the not on sale ones. how can i do this, i searched the forum and used the AND / OR boolean search terms as follows; i click on all submissions, then search, then put in the ref's (a space) and then AND (or) OR. it only seems to show me one of the not on sale images. eg my search term is "E6AEW9 and F59GC9" but it only shows up the first ref, even though both arent on sale yet. i have a longer string of 16 ref's which shows up the first 7 (the ones on sale and optimized). any ideas on how i can add the tags from the optimized to the not on sale few, as they are the same subject and most tags will apply. thanks dan
