Steve p.s. you've got 51 images on sale, so you've already managed to add captions and keywords unless you already filled this out as meta data in your image editor Edited September 23, 2021 by Steve F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Steve F Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) Steve, Glad you're doing better now. Don't worry about the poor discoverability. I have 3568 images on sale with 'poor discoverability' and only 66 with 'good' discoverability', but my sales are fine. There's lots of threads on the Forum about it: https://discussion.alamy.com/topic/14205-discoverability/ You do need to improve your existing Captions and Keywording though. Have a look at: https://discussion.alamy.com/forum/18-portfolio-critique/ Steve p.s. if you want to view images with a particular discoverability, there's a dropdown in Alamy Image Manageer under 'Filters' Edited September 23, 2021 by Steve F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click the little x top right of the screen and you should be on the image manager (I think). You have wonderful images. It's important to add the Latin name on wildlife and plants. Put it in both the caption and keywords. Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remembered another way to get to the Image Manager. You can get to your images on sale by clicking the blue number here under your avatar. Go to one of your images and click on it. On the preview page under the tags there is Edit Image in blue. Clicking on that will take you to the image in the Image Manager. All your submissions will be on the left. At some point you will have to sign in. Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing this answer, I have to ask "WHICH blue number here under your avatar?" Although I've been here since 2007, and have 692 images available for sale, my only options are My Dashboard (which is merely a graph with my sales) and Alamy Image Manager (which only gives me the option to "get started" by uploading images). It's like I'm caught in a vicious circle. Edited December 5, 2023 by Raven Falls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like I'm caught in a vicious circle. Sorry. I guess it isn't blue anymore. Look at your avatar here in the forum and under it is "Images 692". Click and there you are. I don't understand why your Image Manager is not showing your submissions on the left and the images on the right. Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Allan Bell Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 When I click on the number of images (51) I am taken to a page which has 93 images. Very nice to. I think if you have not uploaded for a long time it might be worth contacting Contributor Relations to check if they have closed your account and or what action you must take. contributors@alamy.com Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
