Because i’m not keen on Adobe’s subscription licence model.

Hi Julie
I use an iPad pro and the IOS Photos app which is a bit limited so i’m thinking about buying something else. I want to improve the quality of my pictures and be able to see the RGB histogram alongside my images as i’m working on them. Also see and edit metadata / tags alongside the image i’m working on. I’m looking at Affinity, Pixelmator Pro (rather than the £5 version) and Photoshop. There’s loads of tutorials and reviews about I just wanted an opinion from this group. Lots of the tutorials focus on major image manipulation which i’m not interested in.
thanks
Angela

Hi All,
Looking for your opinions on best photo editors for use with iPad pro. There’s a lot out there - Photoshop, Pixelmator, Affinity etc etc. I’m finding it hard to decide what to go with. I think i’m going to need an Apple pencil too.
Thanks,
ACC

Excuse if this is a silly question but how do you track usage - Google search your name?

you have to wait for overnight alamy database update.

EXIF shows ISO 6400 f5.6 and shutter speed 1/13. Not a burst but pictures taken over the course of a few minutes. They were the first shots of the day. I guess at those settings on a bright day the images just burnt out. Next step = interview my young daughter to see if she can remember why she had taken the camera off auto and what did she think she was doing with an ISO 6400 setting and also what caused her to switch back. The shots following the blanks are fine and all at ISO 100.
Thanks for all the comments.

17 hours ago, wiskerke said:Than the first suspect is still that lens. Has it been too hot at some point? Oil on the aperture blades and that sort of thing?
Has it had a blow?
My guess: it's only when you choose a small aperture and the blades either close too slowly or they don't close at all.
If it's dirty blades the effect will be less outspoken when the shutter time is longer and/or the aperture is wider.
If the aperture doesn't close at all, it's really easy to spot by putting the body on manual. If they only close halfway or unevenly, it has usually had a shock or blow.
Software (firmware): usually only with a newer (never experienced that with Canon) or third party lens.
Body failure like dirty contacts: all images would be affected.
With Canon there are no mechanical functions in the body. And while electronics can fail, it's usually the same for all images. (At least for those shot in the same way.)

It was a hot day. 29 degrees and we’d walked for a couple of hours. My daughter had the camera on a neck strap so it was completely exposed to the heat. Are you thinking the heat caused the aperture blades to stick then after a while they spontaneously unstuck? I’ve had the camera on manual and a range of apertures while i look into the lens. There’s no sticking or failure to close that I can detect. Should I get the lens serviced/ cleaned?
-
Hi Wim yes all the one lens.
-
Hi thanks all for suggestions. Can’t see any problems with lens, shutter or EXIF. Next step = upgrade the software.

Hi
This is odd. I’m wondering if anyone has ideas as to what happened. Canon 600D, 200 shots taken on holiday. Amongst them about 40 where the image created is completely white. All pixels = 255. Either side of the 40 “blanks” are plenty of normal properly exposed images. None of the camera settings were altered. Images were all shot outside in a park on a pleasant sunny day.
Anyone seen this before? Any ideas?
-
wow, that’s impressive and good to see that there is money to be made doing this.
congratulations 😄

I cleared my browser history and that’s fixed it. Thanks all.😄

Looking at alamy home page on an iPad. Past couple of days the big search box that was in the middle is now over on the left, very small, and doesn’t work. Anyone else or is it just me?

log into dashboard, scroll down, alamy measures for views and zooms. Your ranking is 1/2/3 stars top left of dashboard page.

A lot of my pictures are taken with a Canon G9x mk II including my best three figure sale. Also I’m just back from Budapest which was stunning, I’m working on my pictures now. It’s a beautiful city, enjoy 😊.

I’ve been wondering about something similar. PU cost looking with my iPad = £9.99. My last PU sale = USD 15. None of the licence fees I’ve earned match any of the costs advertised. Is there a lot of bespoke/ individual negotiation pricing goes on?
??

I’m curious about repeat sales for those of you selling volume and regularly. Is it the same pictures selling over and over or a different pattern?
-
That’s really interesting thanks Julie. 🙂

Hi Ed, I don’t know I haven’t tried.

I’ve only got an iPad pro, no pc or laptop. Upload to Alamy is easy just log in. I use the standard Photos app for cropping, colour/ light adjustment and MetaGear for tagging. I suspect both Photos App and MetaGear are limited so I’m very interested on others’ comments on this thread.
-
Yes I’m interested.
Geogphoto is that you?

Ian geogphoto is that you sitting by the cafe? He had a camera. I looked at your port earlier and spotted we were there the same day. Wouldn’t that be funny 😄
