Chris from Horley 2 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Hi I have been unable to upload images since March 24th - they get stuck. My previous submission was March 1st. Has anyone successfully resolved a recent upload problem? I have tried different images, browsers, removed the last Windows update, allowed for queues, switched off Kaspersky (other AV is free Malwarebytes) - all details emailed to "contributors" who've forwarded to I.T. who've asked the browser versions (Chrome V89.0.4389.90 & Edge 89.0.774.63). In a look at all the image properties, I noticed that the first image of a batch of 5 sent in on March 24 showed a DPI (dots per inch) resolution of 797 each way. Mine are either 300 or 180. I had not altered that in my Photoshop Elements 11 workflow for that image (original was cropped/save as - not resized). Help wanted! Thanks Chris Link to post Share on other sites

John Mitchell 6,101 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 No need to bother about DPI. It only has meaning to the end-user of your images. Just make sure that your files are least 17 MB uncompressed. Link to post Share on other sites

Chris I have the same problem as You, I did identical actions (but I did not remove last Windows update and did not check pictures DPI) - still upload does not work. Even I tried to upload older pictures already accepted by Alamy - still no result. What I did today was to try upload on different PC - and ... upload is working on different machine. Strange. I am confused because I am pretty sure that I did not change anything on my primary PC. I am in touch with Alamy support, If they figure out sth I will let you know. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If I too find the answer will let you know Chris Hi Lucasz, my problem has been solved - it was related to my Kaspersky anti-virus. I.T. sent me a workaround. If you (and others who can't upload) have Kaspersky then email that to the contributors rep to ask IT for the workaround sheet, Chris 2 Link to post Share on other sites
