Creative/Editorial classifications

[will perrett]

I've been unable to locate this information on the website, so somebody out there can probably help: what do the classifications "Creative" and "Editorial" mean?  Why do an apparently random selection of my images appear under the category "Creative" and not others?  And why are another apparently random selection of images classified as "Editorial" when I didn't check the "Use for Editorial only" box?

Thanks in advance for any enlightenment!

They are looking for images that can be used commercially for the Creative sections. So the system looks at keywords and whether or not there are people or property. Certain keywords will eliminate you. For me, the ones for "bank" (as in river bank even) or "national park". There is a thread about it. Maybe I can find it. I'll look.

Here is the link...https://discussion.alamy.com/topic/16167-ultimate-collection/page/5/  James had offered to tell me why certain images were not in the Creative section. This is page 5 where he gave the reasons.
