Alamy.com / Isn't upsizing nonsense?
« on: December 02, 2009, 15:37 »
I just signed up to Alamy and wanted to give it a try. As you know they have a 48MB uncompressed file size minimum. Now I read here that some of you scale your pictures up to reach this minimum size.

I honestly don't understand the reasoning behind this. This does not go against you, but Alamy. Upsizing a picture adds no information whatsoever. Anyone who buys a smaller picture can do this him-/herself in a matter of seconds, so why should they pay more for it? Don't buyers expect higher quality when they buy the maximum file size? If I bought a picture at maximum size only to find out it has been scaled up, I would not be very happy.

Don't Alamy notice upsizing or don't they care?

Hi fellow microstockers,

just a few sentences to introduce myself: I live in Germany (near Munich) and I am what you might call a semi profesisonal. My main interest is 3D graphics, but I also do a little still photography (no people shots). I am currently trying to intensify my 3D efforts, maybe one day I might be able to quit my daytime job, but I'm not in a hurry ;-)

Regards,
Oliver
