To save missing the deadline for the next claim I would compile a list or spreadsheet of any and all uses you find during the year. I create a copy of my spreadsheet for each new annual claim and add all new publications as I find them. That way I don't have to waste time looking for usages just the most recent ones. Usually on google search I use my name or psuedonames and also use the Google Books search as this usually brings up a lot of book usages. I also find adding "ISBN" or "ISSN" along with my name usually turns up some items.

Larry you also need to work on your descriptions and keywords both are sadly lacking. Failure to keyword and write proper descriptions results in images not being found by buyers and missed sales. As an example Image ID: 2EGFRA5 is described as "San Diego Harbor" which it is not and neither do the keywords apply to what is in the image.

Does anyone know how to download my own image files?
David Pimborough replied to Goncalo's question in Community support: ask the forum
No it doesn't I'm afraid. You could try contacting Alamy and explaining the problem to them perhaps they can help. Assuming you've lost your images its really time to think of keeping back ups? Portable hard drives are dirt cheap and so is cloud storage. -

I spent three months there on my way to New Zealand they lived in Cooloongup and while there I used to spend a lot of time on the beach and mooching around Rockingham, Fremantle and Perth . I took a bike with me and cycled up and down that beach often. Though spending Xmas there in 38 degree heat was novel 16 babies?! Well there was a tendency for large families back in the day my great grandmother (from Anglesey) had 13 😵

I have nearly 800 photos and just 5 zooms? Please help :)
David Pimborough replied to gumenjak's topic in Portfolio critique
OK I looked at your images and some things were painfully obvious. 1. You are spamming your keywords. Totally irrelevant keywords are really going to damage your ability to have your images found. So go through your portfolio and remove any irrelevant keywords. 2. You have a lot of decent concept type images but a lot of repeats/similars. 3. A lot of your "macro" shots of insects are not macros they are just close ups. 4. Try and think of more interesting ways of describing whats in your photos. Some of your descriptions just say things l
