Alamy asks to specify if there are people in the image.
I have images with body parts from not recognisable people. Therefore I say yes, there is a person on the image. Since I haven't got a model release, the license type is automatically set to "Rights Managed". What does that mean?

Rights managed is a different type of licensing to RF.
Instead of buy once, use for (almost) anything, the buyer purchases according to usage, and you get repeat sales to the same buyer if they reuse it (and are honest).

However, if you have the same images selling as RF elsewhere, you can't submit these RM to Alamy, as per your agreement with them.

Added: Alamy is about to introduce RF editorial.

It is annoying how Alamy choose to handle body parts different then every other site I'm on. Originally, I just listed body parts as not having a human, considering it wasn't a whole or identifiable human, but a couple years ago they started telling me to go thru my port and attach releases to all those type of shots or they'd be deleted. Mostly I had releases for them so I uploaded. A few I had to delete.

Even if the person is unrecognizable or off inthe distance, you have toanswer "yes" to people in the image.

even if there is a blurry finger in the frame, you need to attach a release

I'm astonished that buyers don't complain about this, as I've said often enough.
You have a blurry finger, or tiny smudges which may be people, way in the distance.
You have to tick 'one person' or 'more than 4 people' as appropriate.
These images Then show up if a buyer wants to see 'one person' or 'more than 4 people', but in the vast majority of cases, if a buyer ticks wants to see one/however many people, they actually want to see the person/people, not blurry fingers or out of focus dots.

I'm not arguing with the need for a release for a blurry finger or it has to be editorial; I'm thinking how annoyed I'd would be if I were searching for e.g. 'one person' and I couldn't see the person.

You're easily annoyed by anything that has to do with a computer search that's not what you think it should be. Google made their millions by a smarter search but you and I will still get stupid matches that make no sense. Stop expecting a photo search to be the Oracles, Cassandra and Confucius all wrapped in one.

How about I keep searching for the Holy Grail and you stop getting so easily annoyed by me and stop telling me what to do?

So, does Alamy accepts photos of graffitis as RF or does it has to be RM, or they don't accept ti at all? I tried to submit to SS as editorial and they rejected it.
Same question for iS...

That image would be rights managed if only for the building but add all the decorations it's definitely RM
