The only way to know what will be best for you is to do a test - shoot the same subject under very different conditions (so that RM images are different from those that will be sold RF), upload and see how much you make after three years or so. Then you will have your answer about which is better. Good luck!

and by then the markets will be different so you still won't know.

I do upload all my stuff to Alamy (although I didn't upsize back when that would have been necessary). Plus a few RM images that I either didn't want to send to micros or didn't want to bother trying to do as editorial on micros.

Some months Alamy is horrible - like no sales at all horrible, other months it does better than the micros. This year they are my leading agency, which says more about the large fall of SS than the small rise of Alamy.

do you have sales from your images that you have on ms and alamy or only from your rm eclusive to alamy pictures?

I submit only to Alamy (RM) nowadays and still have a port at iStock.
Adjusting for relative port size, I always have and still do earn more at iStock; whether that will continue, I can't say. My Alamy sales seem mostly to go to those with the largest discounts. They're also branching out into other schemes, I guess in an effort to make up for the sales which have gone to the micros, so I'm expecting the rpd to decrease pretty rapidly starting from now. Time will tell if sales will increase to make up for that; I have no idea where they advertise.

do you upload the same portofolio on alamy and istock,i wonder if i lose sales with pictures sitting on alamy when they could sell elsewhere

I get lots of RF sales on Alamy as well as rights managed sales and I get more money than I do on microstock

do you upload the same stuff on both?i mean the images you sold on alamy are available to microstock too?also another question can you explain me how you choose if you will submit as rf or rm on alamy and how much money you make from a rf or rm sale on alamy?
