gvallee Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Do you have the new AIM? If so, go to Optional, and in Restrictions, tick 'Don't sell for personal use'. You might have to select all your pictures though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSnapper Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 And any images marked with that restriction (or any restriction) won't then be included in the distribution pool.... something to bear in mind if distributor sales are a significant element in your income km Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDM Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 You can set this as a default for all future submissions with the button at the top right. Doing it manually by clicking the button in the optional tab for existing images is very slow to save if doing a batch. And it only appears to work if all images in the batch are not set - in other words, if you select a batch of say four images and one of them is already set to personal use, then it is not possible to click on the box to set the same restriction on all. I presume this is another bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gvallee Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I still belong to the old school Don't have yet the new AIM I believe you can ask Alamy to do it for you. But bear in mind what Keith said about distributors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDM Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I still belong to the old school Don't have yet the new AIM In that case you should apply your personal use restrictions asap as it is much easier to do in the older version using batch editing.

NYCat Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Aha. I see my eyes are not keen enough. I wonder if they could have made that wheel any smaller? I see you don't have the option of making a default of "only available on Alamy". Maybe that would be a problem if I submitted elsewhere at some point. Thank you.

spacecadet Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 You can do "only on A" per batch or per image, but not by default evidently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arletta Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 And any images marked with that restriction (or any restriction) won't then be included in the distribution pool.... something to bear in mind if distributor sales are a significant element in your income I'm sure we had exchanged more posts about this in last day or two but can't find it I said that I still have the distribution sales (maybe they're older sales showing up now), but also in my dashboard in the Additional revenue options I see opt IN not OUT for distributors... Confusing, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSnapper Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 "I said that I still have the distribution sales (maybe they're older sales showing up now)," yes, by their very nature, Distributor sales are much slower to report....so even if you've set restrictions on all your images now, they would still have been in the distribution pool for quite some time in the past, and those sales will still be coming in ... km Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
