Rod Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Hello - I am retired and enjoying life traveling the world and capturing beautiful memories. I just started uploading photos, but I have a question. After uploading, I then searched google for my name and than the picture title - but I didn't see any results. Should I be able to see my pictures on Alamy by searching the web with my name or picture title? Thanks in advance! Rod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod You may have noticed the warning on the Alamy Image Manager page where you upload and keyword/tag your images: Please note: it may take up to 24 hours for your data to become available. Please check here for updates. That is because the main database updates once every 24 hours. But that may be at night where you live. I see 16 images now, when I click on the number 3 underneath your name, Why 3 and not 16? Probably because the main database has updated, but the numbers here are running a bit behind. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCat Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I love your images. You need to go back and check your work in the image manager. You need to unselect an image before moving to the next one. I noticed your zebras are captioned as bluebirds. It's the only one I checked. It's annoying to have to continually deselect but you'll get used to it. I see you have enjoyed wonderful travels.

I was curious if once the images are uploaded if you can search google by artist/photographer name or image title or if it is only visible in the Alamy platform.

Sultanpepa Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Looks like Rod has had enough with Alamy's QC. Looks like he'll be leaving post haste. I wish newcomers would read the T&C's when signing up before complaining about them afterwards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
