Niels Quist Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Seems to be a more up-to-date way to do the keywording.Though one can keep the original number of keywords, you will have to reduce to the 50 if you want to enter another. But sometimes you find out that some may be irrelevant in the new system.One thing that strikes me is the importance of unticking the mage(s) when you have saved the changes (the blue tick mark). Otherwise I think there may be a risk of making a mess.I was quick about quitting the introducing video - and cannot see a way to get back to it, has anyone got a link? - it may be a good idea to watch. And it seems to be necessary to edit most supertags as many of them will not the be ones searched, of course, as they originate from the most important keywords pointing in all directions. But there is a lot of work to be done, unfortunately. Niels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin P Wilson Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 0.5% with good discoverability! Boy, have I got some work to do. Similar for me ((~0.8%) but when I cleaned up one image with good discoverability and refined some phrases it became poor! Even though when I was editing it was improving, I think it may have removed duplicate keywords when I saved. I can't imagine that the index updates in real time. It would be helpful to know how the manage images system judges discoverability. If Alamy just tell us it will save a lot of trying and testing and frustration - we collectively have a lot of work to do, it seems. It may not have updated the index in real time but it certainly removed duplicates from the list of tags associated with the images. After save the duplicates were no longer there to be edited. I guess save applies the new rules, so old rules only apply until you edit the metadata for an image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyAppleRed Images Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Be careful adding lots of tags at once - I have just tried entering the full 50 to see what the effect on discoverability is and if you exceed the 50 limit you get an error message but all the tags you entered in the "add new tags" box are deleted. It appears 40 tags gets you a green bar, and as Keith says above the full 50 gets it to "optimised". Liking the look of it all but much work to be done!

Ace Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 is it just me or does it look like you have to re keyword every image to get better discoverability ? When i go through the images that have poor discoverability, and there are a lot, no most of them, they appear to have tag words included from other images ? Lost ?

Martin P Wilson Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I seem to have lost access to about 6% of my portfolio. It does not show up in manage images or when I do a search on contributor and not containing ... That said it does still show the number I expect against my name here.

CandyAppleRed Images Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Philippe - they will not have the full amount of supertags as they have been converted from essential keywords (unless you added many short words of course!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 It takes longer to keyword. You have to type keywords in, then click the blue square, then assign supertags one at a time instead of just filling the esskeys box. I can't find a way to edit a tag either. No way to copy and paste tags from one MI window to another. This is a massive problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps just a new way of workflow and thinking. Perhaps just think of the combination of logical words in a search and enter these and click on the white star to make them supertags, and then enter the the fifty keywords. Making one of these a supertag just take a click on the white star in front. More clicking perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacecadet Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Having just uploaded some new scans I want to reuse a lot of keywords from previous on sale scans. There doesn't seem to be a way to do this because there's no selection bar as there used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way to copy and paste tags from one MI window to another. This is a massive problem. If you select multiple images the tags common to all are on black, others are on a grey background. Click on the grey ones, the background goes black and they are added to all selected images. You can also paste or type multiple tags (comma separated), hit enter and they are all added in one go.

Niels Quist Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Please tell me before I make further changes: As I understand supertags they have to be keyword strings you suppose customers will use - and in that order - or single keywords. So if your supertags concist of the former ess keywords of different important words, they will have to be edited? Edited: My question may seem odd, but in the first images I checked, the essential keywords were all glued together in one supertag. It is not always the case, haven't yet found out in which cases this happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariaJ Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I was playing around and it seems the more tags you have, the better the discoverability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter if they are in separate submissions, just select the image you want to copy from, but I agree there are some tricks and techniques we need to discover (hopefully ) I have not fully formed my opinion yet, like most people I have seen it for the first time this morning (but software is my background). I need to use it seriously and become familiar with its quirks and understand the new workflow possibilities. Presumably many capable users (KM, WIM, et al) have had an input so it should work for serious contributors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
