Joseph Clemson Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Unless this is a tongue-in-cheek post, I'll have to disappoint you Graham. Alamy stopped displaying the list of other logged-in users a few weeks ago when the new data protection regulations came in. The logged in forum user can only ever see their own name now, even when many more are lurking in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Hardy Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 What I actually came onto the forum to ask was this - I've only just noticed that when I click on a sold image I can now 'Choose another rights managed license' which allows me to put in the licence details that the sold image was licensed for and gives me the price. My latest sold image comes out at £165 according to this, but was actually sold for $21.02. I know the big media buyers get a discount - but that is pretty steep do't you think?

Allan Bell Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Is that something which has slipped under Alamy's radar and should not be there in the first place? Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan I think that Graham is just referring to the regular Alamy price calculator, Alan, where he has entered the license details to generate the price. I don't know if or when that was ever used, Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Hardy Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 Another odd thing - going by the price calculator it looks like the price per image for a National newspaper is less than that for a local or free paper. Counter-intuitive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be well aware that the results bore little relation to contemporary stock licensing pricing. You might possibly use it as a starting guide, but only as much as you would when bartering in an Asian street market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I misinterpreted that and was about to ask, "What September Sales?" (meaning like 'January Sales' in the outside world). In reply to the OP, I'm like Martin, if I'm ''at home' and have the computer on, this forum is open in a tab and I dip in and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
