Cecile Marion Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I've been contributing to Alamy since January of this year and, while I've only had four sales, one was very encouraging. I've listed the information below. I would very much appreciate any advice towards trying to figure out where this photo was used. The purchase was made 6 June and payment cleared on 17 July. I assume I could try doing a reverse search online, but that would mean I'd have to first post a clean copy of the photo somewhere, correct? Alamy photo: J704E4 Rights managed, editorial Region of purchase: US Country: Worldwide Usage: Magazines and books, Use in a magazine article (print, digital, electronic), up to ¼ page, 2,500 circulation, worldwide for 5 years (excludes advertising) Start: 02 June 2017 End: 02 June 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Morrison Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Drag & drop your pic onto 'Google Images' to find online use... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 No hits. Keep trying, but only one of my licences of that type has ever turned up on GIS because it's primarily for print. I found another couple because by chance I subscribed to the magazine they were in. Keep an eye on the "Have you found" thread in case someone here is a subscriber. That said, it's a very small circulation so probably pretty specialist. I found one of mine in a Smithsonian exhibition catalogue recently.

Cecile Marion Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Thanks for the advice! Yes, it is a small circulation. I'm guessing my chances of finding the picture are pretty slim, but figured it was worth a look. Should I be aware of any concerns when dragging a pic into Google images? Am I correct in assuming I need to use my clean file, and not one with Alamy watermarks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 You can use any version. The watermark doesn't affect it. I used the search thumbnail but I have a right-click plugin for GIS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecile Marion Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Thanks! I appreciate you looking for the image. I'm closing in on the 1,000 image mark and have a trip coming up that could be fruitful. Now, if I could just get a few more of those sales every month! One can dream... 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCat Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 This is very useful for finding images online...... http://jarred.github.io/src-img/ I use the watermarked image from Alamy. Have you tried just searching your pseudonym/Alamy? Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it takes longer for Google to index images, and sometimes it doesn't seem to at all. It's also worth doing a search such as this (I tried it for your image but no luck finding it)..... "Bayeux Cathedral" alamy -alamy.com That stops any results from Alamy's website appearing, but shows others where Alamy was used as the credit (although some clients embed the credit within the photo, so it can't be found that way then). More often than not I never know where my images have been used, even the online ones. Not a lot you can do about it. Occasionally the name of the company is in the license details, but I've only seen that once or twice. Geoff.

Cecile Marion Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 Thanks, Wim. No luck finding my picture, but I'll continue to periodically give your suggestion, as well those of others, a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be "Ask ALLAN", AllAn, NOT AllEn. I thought you, of all people, would have got that right by now. Allan Any way if Philippe says you owe a penalty just ask him to stick on your account.
