John Mitchell Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Thought I'd pass this heads-up along regarding the new "Non Exclusive Alamy" check box -- which some of us can see -- in AIM: I recently went through my entire collection and thought that I had checked all the "Only available on Alamy" boxes for applicable images (over 90% of my portfolio). However, using the new non-exclusive filter today, I've discovered that I missed a surprising number of images, so it's worth rechecking things with the filter.

I found 4 images not ticked that should have been. Worth checking, certainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCat Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 When I checked I found I had done them all but it showed me all my failed submissions. So sad. But I have definitely improved. None were recent. Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still confused about "artwork" images, but I won't go there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of it this way: if a photo copy machine will get the exact same result as you are getting with a camera, then it goes into this category. If it's stolen from Google or a museum or copied from a book, it's in this category. So most if not all 2d art is in this category. Most 3d art is not. If there's a clear personal view or angle (pun intended) involved, it's your choice. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCat Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Go to Attributes on the filter bar and scroll down. It is towards the bottom. Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niels Quist Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I haven't got the Non-exclusive possibility yet. Presume it will be far down in the Attributes not far from Exclusive. Strange that there is so much time difference. Niels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Bell Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I posted this in another thread short while ago. The "Non Exclusive" attribute has already been very useful to me with just over 4,100 images on Alamy. Clicking on the "Exclusive" button earlier I saw I was 2 images short of of my total passed images. Did not fancy searching through all my images for the 2 rogue images so I waited for the new "Non Exclusive button" and when I clicked that button the rogue images popped up. "Only on Alamy" button clicked on both images and job done. Saved a lot of time and now I can truthfully say, "All my images are exclusive to Alamy." Thanks James.

Niels Quist Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Thanks for the information all. I had made the setting in Chrome to delete all cookies when the browser was closed. It seems that Google have changed that option. When I did it manually the non-exclusive option appeared. Niels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
