" The Test " has been designed in an attempt to help us understand why images are failing the Alamy QC process .

Observers are asked to examine the difference between images passing and failing and recorded there findings .

You are looking for images which are either " soft and lacking" , or have " interpolation artifacts " or both , and nothing else .

To make the " The Test " unbiased, not all the images have failed . Its your opinion we need as to which passed and which failed .

If you send me your results, I will correlate them together , and the results may be of benefit to others .

Thank you for your help, Mary Clark Associate Royal Photographic Society CONTACT

All were taken on a Nikon D200 using a new Nikon 70-300 VR lens, and all were processed the same way .
