george Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I notice on the images sold March thread an image with vintage retro filter, (very instagrammy) but not a number from the 'S......o' type of images. I always thought we could not put filters like that. Has that changed or was it never the case and I misunderstood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokie Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I thought the same. perhaps the rules have changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 I was going to ask before as have started to see various filters cropping up, like vintage type, but this particular one is what I would decribe as 'mobile phonish'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I don't think it's disallowed per se- just that these filters usually introduce artefacts that cause a QC fail. If it doesn't, it must be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbertSnapper Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I've used a vintage style filter quite a number of times now, having taken the original photograph with a Fuji x100. No problems with QC. Great way to make a boring image have a bit more visual impact. .... this was used to illustrate a story about stalkers. Man walking through an underpass, Birmingham, UK.

george Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 Wow, thanks everyone. Either I completely misunderstood (way back when I read the rules ) or I missed a change along the way. That will teach me to keep having long breaks in uploading. Have a good weekend everyone and stay warm and dry whereever you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultanpepa Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I think that Alamy say that over manipulation will fail QC. Maybe that's where the confusion sets in. I must admit I thought the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 I emailed CR and this is what they said Quote:- You can add filters to images going in the main collection but they still need to meet our technical requirements. We usually don’t recommend adding certain filters to images as it gives customers less scope to do what they want with the images. If you leave images natural, customers can then add a filter if they want to. -end quote I am most surprised about the scratchy type filter as in the one I originally mentioned, but hey, live and learn.

I think only very very few clients are altering images. An easy way to accommodate CR would be to upload both the manipulated image and the original. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
