When you use the plugin to send new photos to Alamy using the "online

the same way as Alamy's own online tools do.
Errors here should be extremely rare and will usually be down to a

The Alamy-Lightroom Bridge needs to send data to Alamy's servers and,
in the case of new images, this can be very large and take a long
time. On a slow or unreliable network connection, it is possible for
there to be problems during this upload. Even when...
When you do a "Fetch" operation, the plugin uses data provided by
Alamy to match and update your corresponding photos in Lightroom. If
