How would you keyword this one?
Phil Robinson replied to wiskerke's question in Community support: ask the forum
Remember it could be cropped to cut off the wording - without that it's a good general picture to illustrate books / literature / reading / shelves / library/ ... -
And some more today - more pics of politicians with the name of the website in full. Very helpful and welcome.

immortality; space; philosophy; philosophical; choice; afterlife: I'd certainly upload it. If I stopped uploading all the pictures that I thought probably won't sell, I'd lose a third of my sales. -

I can't remember. I don't know when I last had a "holiday". I used to go travelling a lot, but I was on my own and seeing the journeys very much as business trips. I still get sales from my Interrailing days - two yesterday in fact, a statue in Vienna and a cubist lamppost in Prague. But as I said, they really weren't holidays, enjoyable as the trips were (and I claimed them as an allowable expense). and now I've read the other posts and realise what is was all about. No. I've had a couple of sales from the New Year's Day celebrations in London but little else.

I want to unsubscribe and close my account
Phil Robinson replied to Malpolon's question in Community support: ask the forum
As said above, if the reason for leaving is a lack of sales it is far too soon to give up. It would have been extraordinary to have had even a single sale show up after 3 months with 400 images (if you have then you really should stick with it). You have some nice images - give it another year and another 2000 uploads, then decide. -

Very useful to know - thanks -
Should I upscale?
Phil Robinson replied to Flash68's topic in Alamy Quality Control and technical talk
Due to a lack of other opportunities, I have recently been going back to RAW files I took in 2006/7 with a Nikon D100 - also 17.2MB. Better software and 15 years experience of Photoshop mean I can now produce much better looking JPEGs than I could back then (not to mention captioning and keywording). Any cropping or even straightening means they drop below the 17MB limit so I have been resizing some of them, but only by the minimum necessary. They've all got through QC so far, though I'm not sure anyone's actually looked at any of them... As Chuck said, lucky we got into the habit -
In the Times Online today - I was just on my way home and only took my camera out of my rucksack to make room for shopping. Got a couple of shots of the empty town centre and it proved worth the effort. If anyone gets the papery version of the Times I'd be interested to know it it made it into print.

You should photograph them on a giant chessboard - really helps with the exposure. -

Refund day?
Phil Robinson replied to John Mitchell's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
That's interesting. I'm sure Alamy could find a way to make it very clear to PU buyers that they can't get a refund for their digital download - as well as pointing out that that they are paying $9.99 for use of an image of a Ferrari, not an actual high performance sportscar. -
Refund day?
Phil Robinson replied to John Mitchell's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
Can you download music and then get a refund because it 'wasn't the song I was thinking of' I wonder?
