Rob Smith 5 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I process both DSLR and Phone images on both my Iphone and Ipad. Up to now they have just been images chosen on their respective merits and the "tool" did not matter in the final outcome. Now with Stockimo I'm having to create two entirely separate workflows for images that end up together in the same search on Alamy anyway. Ah well, one must do what one must do, but the logic does baffle me a bit. Luckily I only had to delete 4 out of 105 from Stockimo. Link to post Share on other sites
Julie Edwards 410 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I thought it was clear from the start that only images taken on the phone should be filed to stockimo.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Smith 5 Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) It was ambigous at best - even today the Stockimo page still states "Select images from your iPhone, add captions, tag and upload them to Stockimo." My emphasis. "From" not "taken by" your iphone. My workflow includes EyeFi jpgs to the phone and the RAW images to Lightroom, but also phone images to Lightroom as no app handles noise reduction as well. And the Exif data with original camera info was included on the 4 images I deleted today. All passed QA - one even got a 4. Think this is a bit of clarity being added after the launch.

KevinS 182 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 From Stockimo.com: What type of images do you want? We want cool images taken on your phone. What you take is up to you. We want you to shoot what you love and be as creative and adventurous as you like. We want interesting places and happenings; we want Stockimo users to document the world. As far as I can recall, this is unchanged from the launch. Link to post Share on other sites

Richard Coombs 64 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I thought it was clear from the start that only images taken on the phone should be filed to stockimo.... Looked pretty clear to me to Julie. Ie. we want pictures taken on an iPhone please! Don't see anything ambiguous there. Link to post Share on other sites
Linda 352 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) (post deleted - I was being snarky) Hi Ms Snarky! Do people ever tell you that your photo resembles a young Meg Ryan? But to stay somewhat on topic,is anyone submitting photos from the iPhone 4 and are they being accepted? L Edited August 1, 2014 by Linda 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ann 308 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I LOVE you, Linda! Back when I was the age my daughter is now, I was kindly-beyond-the-point-of-reason compared to a couple of blond, girl next door actresses. But when I taught, my students much more realistically told me I looked like the moms on cereal boxes. (post deleted - I was being snarky) Hi Ms Snarky!

fotoDogue 566 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) But to stay somewhat on topic,is anyone submitting photos from the iPhone 4 and are they being accepted? L Hey Linda, About half of my Stockimo photos were taken on an iPhone 3gs that I had been storing on my hard drive. Since Apple released a security update for older phones, it now runs iOS 6.1.6 So if your older phone can run the app then your iPhone photos should be meet the basic criteria.

Lisa 9,591 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Yes Linda, I've had 15 photos accepted on Stockimo from my old 3G and 4S iPhones. Link to post Share on other sites

Keith Douglas 652 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) Richard, I think you are perpetuating the confusion! Julie said: "I thought it was clear from the start that only images taken on the phone should be filed to stockimo..." to which you replied "Looked pretty clear to me Julie, i.e. we want pictures taken on an iPhone please" Isn't the correct statement that i) Images should be taken on a mobile phone and ii) Images should be uploaded via the iPhone or iPad App... ... which opens up the possibility for us 2nd class Android phone users to contribute to stockimo, albeit by jumping through a couple of hoops!!

M.Chapman 1,967 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) Did anyone else get this email from Alamy/Stockimo last week? Stockimo Amnesty Most of you know this already but Stockimo is an app for mobile photography. Sorry but cameras are cheating when it comes to Stockimo. Throughout August we're holding a Stockimo amnesty. It's a chance for all those people who've uploaded camera photos to Stockimo to clear their conscience by deleting your camera photos from your Stockimo app - you know who you are ;-) So, what are you waiting for? Delete your camera photos now and find a renewed sense of inner-calm and a Stockimo app full of (just) mobile phone photos! In September we'll be sweeping the Stockimo collection to delete all the camera photos that are left - don't say we didn't warn you! I'm a member of Stockimo but haven't uploaded any images, so I'm not guilty... Mark Edited August 2, 2014 by M.Chapman Link to post Share on other sites
