I had a lousy $3.14 sale & Alamy & distrib. took $2.77 way more than 80%. Come on Alamy that is not fair.

Oh yes, 40% distro commission & Alamy's distribution commission was 30% but this was for my first two sales on here in early 2021. Thankfully there's been no more Distributor commission charges for my sales since then

I only found out about this distributor's commission when I looked at my sales page today or does it come out of Alamy's commission it better do as Alamy takes 80% from me as it is.

I had that too. It was an error the money was refunded

But how does a buyer find that exact Alamy photo on other sites? In any case, they'd have to take out a subscription with microstock sites to get it that much cheaper and buyers have complained about joining those because it's hard to cancel so end up paying more than Alamy.

The photo was accepoted I just corrected a bit of C.A on 2nd submission. which luckily only seems to happen on the widest angle lengths of the zoom lens. I have some old prime lenses from the film era which are sharper but they wouldn't have been wide enough for this shot.

The image must have been cropped from the original photo because F-stoppers said it was only 2MP.

How about adds on the huge billboard at Piccadilly circus. London. If they have APPLE adds, they could have been shot with an iphone? A DLSR camera would need much less than 12mp to get a good image. I remember walking past a printed billboard many years ago & it was pretty coarse, you could even see the tri colour dots used for printing it. Its different now though see link above.

Nice HDR photo. I had one sale this month but still can't get the URL thing to work The field justr goes red

I've now plugged in my 21' OLED TV into the computer, zoomed at 100% and there is some jaggies around a red sign but I could have sharpened the photo too much. Photo at 100% https://postimg.cc/F7J1zLg6 You're right. Downsizing will sharpen it far more easily. I often D.S. but mainly for other realy fussy MS agencies like adobe or SS, if fact I've just about given up on said agencies because they use A.I. to review images and get it wrong all the time.

Thanks' I got rid of the C.A. as much as I could but could try the opposite way with all the colour in the photo (may look arty.) There are still red lines around window panes at the top but I think thy're reflecting light from the red H.R.C. sign

I think the reviewer doesn't know about mirrorless cameras.

was at 400 ISO but I've shot at that iso many times before and been fine. If there's not much light or it's artificial light, I get more noise/grain even at that ISO. I used Rawtherapee converted to jpeg at highest quality

Thanks Mark. yes it's the e-mount sony kit lens but set almost at the widest f-stop. The photo did have some C.A. on edges which I tried to correct in this photo but there is some red edges probably reflected from the red neon sign.

Filename Rejection reason DSC04559.jpg Soft or lacking definition Digital camera not suitable for Alamy Wow, I've used the same digital camera on alamy for 3 years and it certainly is suitable (a sony mirrorless CSC) or have they changed? all my other images were rejected at the same time aswell. I did shoot the picture at f4 but It was only soft on the edges so couldn't believe it. It was converted from RAW to jpeg and came out realy good I think. Is there a new reviewer that doesn't know cameras? I cannot show the photo because it doesn't have a URL
