This latest upgrade is the buggiest I've ever experienced. And the Spring Update should be out in April. Here we go again! 🙂 -
Free alternative to Lightroom
CarlMillerPhotos replied to pablo's topic in Alamy Quality Control and technical talk
Since it's free, why not download it and try it? I'm a Lightroom / Photoshop / Photomatix user, so I have no desire to learn yet another piece of software. -
Update for LR 6 users
CarlMillerPhotos replied to Allan Bell's topic in Alamy Quality Control and technical talk
Of course they are. There's no mark-up on free advise. :-) -
Same here. Uploaded a couple on Saturday, and then another on Sunday. Also still waiting. Was afraid I'd missed a dust bunny in post or something. :-)

First Sale
CarlMillerPhotos replied to anna182016's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
A sale with only 170 images is very good! I think I was up to about ~500 before I had my first sale!! Good luck and keep shooting!! -
I remember my first sale... I almost had a stroke! I think I was a member for about a year before I got up enough nerve to upload my first batch of images. And about another couple years before my first sale. I've had 3 sales this year (4 last year) so I'm just getting started as well... don't give up! Keep shooting and keep uploading!!

How can you tell how many stars you have? Are they just there, or do they "light up." (I'm either three stars... because I see three there... or I'm a "no star" because non are "colored in"?) Signed, #StarStruck :-)

I feel cheated

I hear it's really cheap in China. :-) -
The Image Manager thread
CarlMillerPhotos replied to Matt Ashmore's topic in Alamy Quality Control and technical talk
The idea that more keywords is better has been my main problem with the new system. I liked the old 'image not ready' so I could easily see which recently-uploaded images needed work, and then mark them as finished, even if they didn't have huge numbers of keywords. That is much harder to do now. You can work on batches of similar images by using the 'search' option rather than the 'filters' tab. Yep... the "more keywords is better" seems like it would encourage keyword spamming, both intentional and unintentional, trying to make that bar turn green.- 781 replies

First Sale Of The Year!!
CarlMillerPhotos replied to CarlMillerPhotos's topic in Let's talk about pics
I'm just getting to where I'm starting to see sales in the last 5 months or so. Had my very first sale in August, and have been averaging about one-a-month since then. I've been a member of Alamy for a while, but only recently started really uploading. I was initially intimidated by the QC process, and also by the talent.
