Hi all, I'm getting horizontal banding on some of my older digital pics. Any idea what may be causing it or how to remedy? Normally the bottom half of the image becomes totally unreadable and displays as multicoloured, blocky, bands. What may be causing digital deterioration?

OK, thanks! 🍺

Thanks, good to know - not that I'm that keen on doing it myself but does that mean that once you are 'in' you can never opt out?

I assume that the benefit of doing DACS yourself is that it is more thorough than relying on Alamy to do it for you, and you get a better return? Does this imply that Alamy doesn't have the resource to do it justice or is it more of a % profit issue? I'm not sure that I have the stamina to do all tracking down independently.

Ian, Cheers! 🍺

Perhaps I'm missing something but Lightboxes seem a bit time consuming and awkward to create. Is there a faster method than having to search for an image ID each time? Do they help much / are they worth the time? Thx 🙂

22 for $866. A couple of decent $$$ and the others mostly mid $$. A few tiddlers. Pretty OK with that. IMO things seems much better than expected given Brexit, Covid and global recession.

Treated myself and family and had a Deliveroo lamb curry, lassi and Mochi ice cream! 😀

Freddie was the real deal! 😉

👍 - Yup, the bare necessities!

With the potential easing of lockdown restrictions in the UK on the horizon, and with the 17th May listed as the earliest possible date for a foreign holiday, what will be the first thing you want to go out and take a picture of? For me, I plan on spending the day walking around central London. There is always something unexpected to snap!
