spacecadet 4,051 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Edit: You can select the tag text and copy and paste between windows but apparently only to the capacity of the tag window. Still a problem. 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 ) If I select an image, as soon as I go to the sub I want to keyword the selection vanishes. I need to be able to copy and paste sets of keywords. Link to post Share on other sites
Allan Bell 2,612 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Suggest we all go to the "Help" tag on "Alamy image manager" and click on the dropdown "Instructions" then bookmark it for future reference. Allan 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Allan It doesn't tell you how to copy and paste. AFAICS the old trick of having two MI windows open and copying between them doesn't work. You can't have a selected image from a search and images from a new sub on screen at the same time. Edited January 23, 2017 by spacecadet 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I expect those of us who still use the old, pre-Flash, manage images have been left until later. Edited January 23, 2017 by Sprocket Link to post Share on other sites

It was only using the Instructions that saved the day after I thought I had mucked up my submission and deleted all of the "Discoverable" images. Back on track now.

Stokie 829 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. Yes, if anybody has found a way to edit an existing tag i would be very interested! Can you reorder the tags? Suggest we all go to the "Help" tag on "Alamy image manager" and click on the dropdown "Instructions" then bookmark it for future reference. Allan Unfortunately 'help' doesn't help with my queries.

ReeRay 355 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Is discoverability influential in an image's search placement . ? Link to post Share on other sites
spacecadet 4,051 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 The file number is no longer shown. So I can't track down an image in my own archive. Link to post Share on other sites
tarsierspectral 116 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) looks promising - don't profess to understand it all concerned that a large proportion of my images have poor discoverability How do you know that your discoverability is poor? Where do you see that? Edit: Found it. I was looking in Image Manager not in My dashboard Edited January 23, 2017 by tarsierspectral Link to post Share on other sites
tarsierspectral 116 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Thank you for the alert to the change. My QC rank is two stars out of three. Since I've never failed QC, I wonder what I have to do to get three stars. Somewhat alarmed to see nearly all my images have 'poor discoverability' with no indication as to precisely why. I'm guessing I will need to manually set supertags on all 2800 images to reach Nirvana. Where do you see QC rank? Edit: Found it.

tarsierspectral 116 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) 0.5% with good discoverability! Boy, have I got some work to do. Where do you see %? Edited January 23, 2017 by tarsierspectral Link to post Share on other sites
spacecadet 4,051 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 On "My Alamy". Mine is only 1 star alarmingly, although I've just had an accidental fail with no apparent sanctions (archival submitted as stock). Link to post Share on other sites
tarsierspectral 116 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Seems to me that the more you keyword spam the more discoverable your image is. I have only 22 images with good discoverability and those are the ones when I have many many tags, which these days I would have not added half of them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
