njene Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Have you noticed the homepage image for Alamy is not just a static image? when I moved my iPad around it moves around allowing for a full panorama view of the image. i don’t know if that’s a new feature, but it looks pretty cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, I'm surprised that there are so many of them here, 156,506! All added very recently. It certainly explains why we went from P to R so quickly. Some seem to have very few keywords. I thought 5 was the minimum? wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reimar Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Not so impressive. The front page image won't load for me. Spinning wheels and white is all I get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope this is not slowing down the whole of Alamy: I'm not seeing all keywords underneath an image. The (see all) is missing. Could be a loading failure; could be it's been removed from the zoom page. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill Hi everyone We've used latest technology adding 360-degree images on to our site, so you will most likely need to update to the latest available version of your browser for optimized effect.

Reimar Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Hmm, I've got 64 bit Firefox 63.0.1 and it says "Firefox is up to date". Version 63.0.1, first offered to Release channel users on October 31, 2018 If we're having trouble, likely customers are too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Latest Firefox; Chrome and Edge. At 96.02 Mbps download (that's really fast) it's not loading on Edge. Really slow on Chrome: inching line for line. It's loading on FF, but it wasn't at first, so now probably from cache. General zoom pages, not 360, are slow to load. Plus see all keywords is missing. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lophius Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I don’t understand how many images could be RF if there are many people there without model release. It could be interesting also knowing if we could upload these kind of images, I do some of them but didn’t know that it could be uploaded. As far as I know many of these images are bigger than the maximum file size limit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njene Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 Maybe a select few contributors were invited to upload these kind of photos, as it looks like this is something most of us did not know about i would have to wonder how many licenses would sell in the real world of advertising.

spiegel Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Any idea, how we can submit 360er-Panos? Just as "normal" JPG or by another way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I saw the swimming turtle earlier today, but he has disappeared now -- just a blank with the search box in the middle. I'm using the latest version of Firefox. Interesting idea, but they make me feel a bit like I'm getting vertigo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works for me on Chrome (on High Sierra) but takes forever to load. Is this why Alamy's site is so slow today? It seems to be struggling more and more of late.

Dima Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Since yesterday or today, there is 360 folder in my upload directory when connecting over FTP, which probably means anyone now can upload 360° spherical images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then nothing lasts very long these days. The digital world has a very short attention span. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
