I feel, and I could be wrong, the SS has a different customer base of buyers that Alamy, Yes there is some cross over . I would be interested to know how many images Alamy sells in the states vs SS. Plus SS rejected the image so its only om Alamy.

I looked to see if I could change the AUTO SAVE settings but did find any settings to change. I worked on a couple images last night and I had over 800 new saved images,

wonderful flower images.....who said micro 4/3 could not give good Bokeh

Been using Luminar 3 for a few months now to edit RAW files, Like it, BUT, it seems to save my work often BUT I now have 50 or 60 saved versions of each image that I edit. Anyone else having that issue? any way I can prevent this? What am I doing wrong? Do I have wrong settings? any ideas?

Thank You for the update, I submitted a image yesterday that has a lot of water vapor above a retaining pond. SS rejected it for noise, but Alamy passed it, I wonder if SS actually has a live human look at the submissions.

Alan please keep up updated if you pass QC, Bryan love that shot WAM9A The wires above the train and the castle in the back ground, the jumbled confusion of the wires and the compressed nature of the image by using a 200mm lens , love that style of composition.

Well I took the plunge and picked up a 22 in monitor ….have some images on a SD card right now and going on a little day trip with my daughter this afternoon should have some more images to edit tonight....will give everyone a up date. Thanks to all!

I am basically doing the same thing as you, its a 15" inch dell laptop , I pulled up mu Alamy catalog on my work computer desk top with a 2 year old 24" monitor and the images simply looked better a few I noticed were slightly off on exposure ( to my taste). Live and learn, after years of shooting film and stepping away from the hobby for years you know work family etc, I am learning digital and still have a lot to learn.

Hello everyone. I have a monitor question, is stems from me questioning the amount of noise I see in photos. I have only have one image fail QC and after looking at It, it should have. I shoot micro 4/3 and have a Olympus omd em10 MK2, a em5, and a Panasonic gx85 that I use for video. I use Luminar 3 for editing raw files. I have a older lap top i5 8 gig ram BUT my lap top monitor resolution is 1600x900 8 bit RGA. Its about a 8 year old lap top. Question is my lap top monitor sufficient for editing? am I seeing a less quality image because of the lap top screen?
