tarsierspectral Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I have an image that comes up when someone searches for Sydney Harbour Bridge [MR]. [MR] means model released, right? But I have 0 people specified. How is the system picking up that the image is model released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCat Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 It seems that if a model release is not needed the image comes up. Happens to me all the time. Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Alamy wrote a blog about this explaining the reason why they made the change. Many picture buyers have MR ticked all the time whether searching for images with people or not which meant that images where a release is not needed we're being filtered out. Makes a lot of sense IMO, not at all dumb. pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It applies particularly to wildlife where it's obviously not possible to get model (or property) releases, which meant that they didn't show up in searches where MR was specified. So if you tick NO to "is a release required" the image has the same chance of selling as one that has a release (MR or PR). Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
