Hi, Janet, Check out www.craigrobertsphotography.co.uk Craig uses OM d EM1 and has advice on mirrorless on both his website and his E6 youtube channel. He shots for stock (G) , magazines etc, and has some very good vlogs. Hope this helps, Paul

Alamy Measures last updated today, 14th February at 08.14 GMT, according to my screen. Definitely updated my data since yesterday.

I thought that CTR was used by Alamy to determine the order of presentation of images, (i.e. on first page of a search term, as opposed to much later page where my images reside!). Or my view may be too simplistic. Paul

Just seen details of a free alternative to Lightroom, which has just been released for Windows. It's called darktable 2.4.0 available from https//github.com/darktable-org/darktable/release/tag/release-2.4.0 I am not a Lightroom user, but know lots of people use or aspire to it, so maybe this could be of interest. If it is any good, please comment, as I for one would be interested. Paul

Don't know if this is related to the uploading problem, but MyAlamy has been "unavailable" for the last few hours. Hope it's not another software type issue.

Also, fashion shoots? As "journalistic" use is ok, surely John's comment "editorial only" should get round the problem.

Yes, I use "Lens Correction". This zooms in on image, but can be moved around to show worst CA. Most images I leave setting at 100%, but sometimes have to reduce this as it changes reddish fringe to green! Only happens infrequently. Haven't found a way of batch processing, so quite time consuming......but still better than rejection

When I started out with Alamy, I had rejections due to CA. Finally upgraded to a Canon EF-S 15/85 lens. Now use this for 90% + of my image submissions, but correct each one for CA in DPP. Not had a reject since I started doing this.

Just have to wonder how "commercial" these images are? Restricted market I would have thought.

Just checked my RAW file, and it's almost identical, just levels and shadows tweeked. Afraid altering saturation sliders and camera profiles are too technical for me, and Elements 10 is my nearest to Lightroom. It was the perfect, sunny day, so maybe I got lucky.......for once.

Measures seems not to be updating at the moment. Latest update I have is 16th October. Hope it isn't just me! Alamy may be working on a problem; that's what has happened in the past.
