  1. Personally, I think these scratches look man-made. I took some pics of striated rocks next to a glacier in South America a while ago and the rocks were all striated in the same direction and very smooth.
  2. The world "mall" is hardly ever used in the UK. What about shopping and street? Or anything Wim suggests.

  3. Show your newest image

    vpics replied to Ema's topic in Let's talk about pics

    World Cup time.

  4. Article 13 of the EU's draft Copyright Directive

    vpics replied to Starsphinx's topic in Ask the forum

    Having to pay for links - great. But this surely doesn't mean sharing a link, as a link in itself does not contain copyright information. But if you look at blogs and internet sites linking to articles by displaying the whole article this would make sense. I don't think it will apply to news or editorial photography. Overnight ALL images of stars wearing designer outfits, politicians getting into a Merc outside a meeting or opening a bottle of water would disappear.

  5. I'll have a P please Bob

    vpics replied to funkyworm's topic in Ask the forum

    Good find, funky. Had some Ps yesterday and didn't even notice. :-)

  6. "Personal Use" Licence Refunds

    vpics replied to Nitroman's topic in Ask the forum

    With some airlines you have a 24-hour grace period in which you can cancel your ticket free of charge if you have made a mistake etc. Genuine mistakes happen, surely. But if you suddenly realise you don't want it after a fortnight, tough luck.

  7. "Personal Use" Licence Refunds

    vpics replied to Nitroman's topic in Ask the forum

    Do Alamy ask for reasons for the refund?

  8. "Personal Use" Licence Refunds

    vpics replied to Nitroman's topic in Ask the forum

    I had one refunded a few days later.

  9. Before I risk an upload

    vpics replied to Stephen Dwyer's topic in Ask the forum

    You could downsize them to make them sharper.

  10. So how was your May, eh?

    vpics replied to John Mitchell's topic in Ask the forum

    Surprisingly, and despite a nasty refund, I came out slightly above average in terms of revenue and sales - and that was without any news sales.

  11. Photo on Alamy Facebook

    vpics replied to cbimages's topic in Ask the forum

    Just saw your comment.

  12. What about offering clients RAW files?

    vpics replied to geogphotos's topic in Alamy

    I shoot 100% RAW and I find that editing RAW files is really easy. I use Bridge and Photoshop and all I do is open them up in ACR, crop, click on removing CA, adjust exposure and remove dust bunnies. In a quick edit I can do a picture in under a minute, providing my computer lets me.

  13. has Alamy issued GDPR white paper?

    vpics replied to JeffGreenberg's topic in Ask the forum

    Thanks for this info, Alamy.

  14. My zooms are plummeting since I paused submitting

    vpics replied to andremichel's topic in Ask the forum

    I once had a big dip in zooms just as I was uploading loads. Don't think there's a correlation.
  15. Grace, you can put your Landrover pics up on Alamy. You don't have to make them "editorial use only", it'll be enough to say that you don't have a Property Release - as Landrover hold the Copyright to the design".
