Finally Sold One on Alamy

Thank you all, much appreciated :thumbs:

I've posted this before:

Here is what I do for Alamy (Photoshop CS3)

Open Raw image
Set all default sharpening to zero
Make changes to white balance etc
View at 100% - pan and inspect complete shot carefully
Open RAW file
Change to 16 bits/channel (image-mode-16 bits/channel)
Save as TIFF file
Make your desired adjustments to the shot – colour, brightness/contrast etc. (I try and keep this to a minimum)


To get to the required size:

Go to Image – Image Size
Choose ‘Bicubic Smoother (best for enlargement)
At the top you will see: Example – ‘Pixel Dimensions: 52.2M’
You need to increase the width OR height, whichever is the greatest, so that it reads ‘Pixel Dimensions: 99.9M’, or the closest under that.
Press ‘OK’

Change back to 8 bits/channel (image-mode-8 bits/channel)

Save As – JPEG, (I always save to maximum quality 12)

On your image, (see bottom left hand corner), you should now have ‘Doc: 49.9M/49.9M or just below.

Do not reopen and resave these finished JPEG files


On a side note, regularly delete the TIFF files as they are over 50MB each.
