I will still continue to keyword "Lincoln City". Thanks for the suggestion of adding in UK. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess these aren't (?) typical buyers. I think you're correct John. It seems likely that these are professional buyers using the PU loophole. The only time I've traced a "zoomer" was when a nephew of mine searched for images (of him on a charity ride). He's an image buyer for a TV magazine so his zooms appeared in my Measures. No sale resulted of course they were for a charitable use - and I'm a generous uncle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once had an image-buyer license two images for publication and then download a third one from the same set for personal use. It seemed a bit odd, but perhaps someone just wanted something to hang on the office wall. I do wonder about other PU zoomers, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 geogphotos Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) It is a very good job that you are not trapped in Getty's infamous Premium Access system where pictures used by global media companies 'earn' less than $1 often less than $0.25. That gives a different perspective on Alamy's PU fees. Edited February 16, 2021 by geogphotos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
