Not really. We are all licensees now. Alamy changed from licensee to agent.

There's food and food. Homemade food shot at home or in the studio, with proper lighting you can make, and Restaurant food shot on the fly, with no chances of making some decent lighting. IMO both are worth it, but I would do the first type on Alamy and the second one on That App. My two cents.

Hot Stuff

I've had a look at today changes to the Alamy contract. Nothing relevant to me but a few adjustments related to distribution to third parties (agent is probably more appropriate than licensee where dealing with other agents).

Ciao Claudio! I'm Italian too, from Rome but I've been living in Empoli for the last 5 years. I've joined Alamy two months after you. Nice port, good sales potential. I wish you all the best! Sandro

See Vernazza and die (strong backlit not easy to deal with in PP...)

Good for PC. Terrible for touch mobile devices. To be honest I like it the way it is now.

The Carny

Probably shooting but I love it. Tagging is just a little bit less time consuming but I hate it and therefore it lasts forever...

This is outstanding. Well done. Sandro Thank you so much! Very kind of you to say. Geoff. You know that thing a photographer (almost ) never admits? I wish I'd taken that picture...

This is outstanding. Well done. Sandro

Snap, I have this too Just in the middle of a long process of optimizing tags on an almost daily basis and discovered 2 things yesterday 1. The new cross, in fact I could not do anything to get the thumbs to delete tags or create supertags only the cross wherever I put the mouse. This was in Firefox. Switched to Chrome and problem solved. 2. All the photos I have optimized since the cross arrived show as optimized (around 6) and are saved. If I refresh screen or unselect and the reselect optimized they revert back to not optimized. Originally I thought it was a time thing but 24 hours later the same and I have to delete a tag and the recreate it to become optimized again but it still doesn't stay that way There is a bug here so I am glad I am not alone. As it is their is no point in optimizing any more until it works Looks like that bug is fixed now. Not so relevant for sales, but it was definitely a bug.

Thanks Grethe and Cecile! Yes, it's an Agave in bloom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agave

Something has changed yesterday. I have 22 pics passed from optimised to good even if they have 50/50 tags and 10/10 supertags.
