You can manipulate an image which will be RM on Alamy, provided you indicate that it's digitally altered when you set the file's attributes.

Thank you for your reply....
I understand about declaring the image has been altered but really wanted to know if u should delete two of the three if I wish to sell RM?
Thanks

Why would there be a difference if selling RM? RM is a different way of selling images, nothing more or less. RM can be released, posed images, it doesn't have to be editorial.

I've often wondered if I should put two versions up of certain  of my editorials, one 'cleaned up', e.g. litter, chewing gum, bird droppings etc, marked 'digitally altered' and one 'as was', not marked altered, but I'm not sure if there's really a heavy market for totally unaltered images in secondary editorial. Probably yes, if hot news.

Hi

I wrote a blog post about this whole area of confusion a little while back. It might help

The only issue there might be would be if someone wanted exclusive rights to an image. But that apparently happens very rarely at Alamy.
