Steve Tucker Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 How important are the primary and secondary categories when preparing an image for sale? I often have difficulty deciding on a suitable one, nevermind two, for instance, just a picture of a street, not really architecture, not sure about lifestyle but not what I would choose and not really travel, or perhaps it is. Another image of a church, well I could use architecture for primary but what for secondary? I really think there needs to be a few more choices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Harrison Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) Steve, I'm a bit of sceptic about the usefulness of categories but these threads cover a few points: https://discussion.alamy.com/topic/11933-more-categories/?tab=comments#comment-218582 https://discussion.alamy.com/topic/12284-additional-category-for-environment/?tab=comments#comment-227048 I'm certainly of the opinion that you should try and fill them in but I often struggle with the primary, let alone the secondary.

Ed Rooney Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Singing another Beatles song again (and again and again) is entertainment, no? 🙄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
