christian58 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I am seriously thinking of switching creative content to editorial RF! I see no harm in this since in every search they are mixed anyway. Perhaps then I can avoid things like searching " oil industry" I see pictures of people using olive-oil! in cooking etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Yarvin Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 How do you remove yourself from Creative on Alamy? I didn't know it was something you can do. BTW ... do I know you from somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you upload your content, you decide weather its creative or editorial content. i have always uploaded creative/commercial BUT that dont sell here so from now on I will upload and under the editorial section, thats what sell!

MDM Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 There is a confusion in terminology here. The term creative as used by Alamy (in categorising images) and by Christian refers to images for use by creative professionals (in other words, the ad industry and associated areas - commercial use in other words as it is also confusingly known). Christian is just making the decision himself on what he considers to be creative content. You can't label your own images on Alamy as creative - this was done some time ago and caused a lot of controversy and debate at the time because of inconsistency and about how and what images were designated creative. I get the feeling it was an initiative that didn't really go anywhere although the designations still exist. It doesn't mean creative photography which has another meaning altogether.
