DuncReid Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Hi all. New to all this and was just wondering... I have an external shot of a church - https://www.alamy.com/st-michael-and-all-angels-church-in-the-village-of-hawkshead-cumbria-england-it-is-an-active-anglican-parish-church-in-the-deanery-of-windermere-image567758088.html - would you be inclined to set that as editorial only? (Fairly obviously, I don't have a release). Cheers - Dunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Vincent Lowe Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 You have misspelled 'cemetary' in the keywords of the image you linked to. Should be 3 e's - 'cemetery'. Mind you it seems to be a common mistake (over 37K results if you search on 'cemetary' ) so you might want to leave it in the keywords in addition to the correct spelling... 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite the same, images flagged as 'Editorial' will appear in the Editorial search and not 'Creative - Uncut' though I wouldn't have thought that was an advantage for pictures of churches, they will in any case appear when searching in 'All' which is probably what most buyers do anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ed Rooney Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I, on the other hand, make everything except food closeups editorial only. Most of Alamy stock image sales are editorial. Good luck, young neighbor. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 M.Chapman Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) I find Calendar sales are worth having. Would explicitly marking such an image as "Editorial only" reduce the chances of Calendar usage?

The only time I ever spell cemetery as cemetary (had to change spelling to cemetary as forum auto corrected) is in tags, as I suspect it's a common (but wrong) search word. This reminds me I have a few cemetery images from a recent trip to finish editing and upload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're thinking I've done some crazy manipulation on them then nope, that's pretty much how the sky was that day. I can't recall what post I did on it off the top of my head but it wouldn't have been much more than some light correction of converging verticals (though that probs wasn't too bad from that higher viewpoint), spot/dust removal and some overall exposure black/white point corrections. I don't go in for dropping in new skies or extreme edits. The weather system in that part of the UK is quite easy to predict. If you can see the fells (hills) then it's going to rain. If you can't see them, it is raining! 🤣 Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
DuncReid
Hi all.
New to all this and was just wondering...
I have an external shot of a church - https://www.alamy.com/st-michael-and-all-angels-church-in-the-village-of-hawkshead-cumbria-england-it-is-an-active-anglican-parish-church-in-the-deanery-of-windermere-image567758088.html - would you be inclined to set that as editorial only? (Fairly obviously, I don't have a release).
Cheers - Dunc
