Tony Reed Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I am new to Alamy, I admit it. It took a little while to pass QC but I got there. The problem is that when I try to upload files as JPEGs I just get the wheeling blue circle. If I reduce the file size they are refused. Is there a maximum size to try and send? My camera is a Nikon D850 and the Raw images are massive but the JPEGS are usually about 24 to 40 meg. Can anyone help before I reach for the antidepressants?.

MDM Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) I don’t know what the problem is but it has nothing to do with file size being too large from a D850. It sounds like you are having a problem with your upload itself. How are you uploading? There used to be a maximum file size (pixel dimensions, not file size on disk) of 200MB but that seems to have disappeared. I am not sure but there may be a maximum pixel size for the long edge as I had a few very long panoramas fail to upload a little while back. However, if so, it is way way longer than the long edge of a file from a D850 (unless you are somehow inadvertently exporting the JPEG at a very increased file size). Note that file size on disk is irrelevant, only the pixel dimensions matter. The minimum pixel size is 17MB. Edited April 8, 2021 by MDM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ventura Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Hi Tony, welcome. I use the Nikon D850 and regularly upload jpegs from this camera with no issues. Maybe it is your connection. I have a fiber optic connection and each photo takes just a few seconds (maybe 10) to upload to Alamy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP Essex Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 It's worth trying the FTP route as I could never get the Alamy uploader to work, never had a problem doing it by FTP Settings for FTP are here:https://www.alamy.com/contributor/how-to-sell-images/how-do-i-send-you-my-stock-images/?section=4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
