Sultanpepa Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Tried to upload my first panorama. It was rejected for being too large. What's the max size please? I had a look but couldn't see anything relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDM Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 200Mb (pixel dimensions of course). This is the third time I have answered this question in about a month mainly because it is hard to find where this is stated in the Alamy guidance. It's definitely there somewhere (or it was) but I can never remember where it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultanpepa Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 My file is 201.8 MB uncompressed so just outside the limit yea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDM Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 A tiny crop off that should do it. I've been looking for the guidance where this is stated but can't find it. It should really be in the Prepare Images section but it's invisible to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultanpepa Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Thanks MDM. I've been searching too. Still can't find it. As you say, it really should be in "prepare images". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Richmond Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 It's in the submission checklist. http://www.alamy.com/contributor/help/image-submission-checklist.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFL Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Alamy also stipulates that compressed file size must not be bigger than 25MB. http://www.alamy.com/contributor/help/news-picture-guidelines.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultanpepa Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 It's in the submission checklist. http://www.alamy.com/contributor/help/image-submission-checklist.asp Ah ha, spot on Thanks. SFL, I must need new specks. I can't see the reference in that link, Edit I do need new specks, lol. Misread your quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDM Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Alamy also stipulates that compressed file size must not be bigger than 25MB. http://www.alamy.com/contributor/help/news-picture-guidelines.asp That 25Mb file size limit is not enforced (at least for stock images - I don't know about news as I've never submitted news images) unlike the 200Mb limit which is rejected at upload stage. Some cameras (e.g, D800) orutinely produce images that when saved as high quality JPEG are >25Mb on disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFL Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 It's in the submission checklist. http://www.alamy.com/contributor/help/image-submission-checklist.asp Ah ha, spot on Thanks. SFL, I must need new specks. I can't see the reference in that link, Edit I do need new specks, lol. Misread your quote. It's under heading of 'Quality control and technical criteria'. So in summary Max 200MB (uncompressed) but also Max 25MB (compressed) Edit: I was simply pointing to the new guideline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
