I am a newbie for Alamy and l lot of questions about it.....
If I choose Licenced ,does it mean I can NOT upload this photo to somewhere?
You can still upload images everywhere else that are L (Licensed) but you cannot do that if you select License Protected (which means exclusivity).
Thanks a lot for reply...
Shouldn't that be 'RF' !? not 'L' ??
OK I wasn't very specific. Alamy is a non-exclusive agency. Therefore you can upload non-exclusive RF and L content. Licensed doesn't mean exclusive. It means that it is licensed differently than RF with other restrictions and requirements. That in itself has nothing to do with exclusivity.
Preferably you should upload L content only to non-exclusive agencies that also offer L content (RM). However, most traditional agencies want their RM content to be exclusive. So be careful where you offer your L (RM) stuff. Usually if you contact the agency directly and ask them they will let you know if it's ok.
License Protected means that the image is exclusive to Alamy. But even a buyer that wants an L image exclusively may contact Alamy and they will ask you if it's possible to license it exclusively. Then you would have to remove it from the other agencies so the buyer can be assured that it's exclusive to them.
