Woke up this morning to a nice surprise. My first 4 pics have passed QC by Alamy. Woo hoo.:lol: It's always nice to pass exams eh? :nuts: It only took a few days which I was surprised by. I thought it would take up to 28 days!:shrug:


Oh, while I remember. I have another thread running on the subject of Alamy with no replies yet. If you can give any advice I'd be pleased to hear it. http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=330368

Congrats on being accepted, Alamy QC are pretty strict in my experience. I submitted stuff for a while with no problems, then all of a sudden everything started getting rejected. I've had very little accepted by them recently, and my equipment and images are better than 3 years ago.:shrug:

Strange. I wonder what has changed in that time.:shrug: Stick at it though. I hear that even the best get rejected occasionally.
 
Same here, had 10 batches accepted and then the last 3 have been regected, 2 without reason. I guess its beacuse they check them more thourougly if you fail once.

I can only draw from that, that they failed for the same reason Tom? I'd be tempted to cut down the amount of images uploaded to just a few good ones to get you back on track.
 
I almost gave up on Alamy at the beginning because they were so strict. Now I have almost 3,000 images there with very few problems - no rejections in over a year. You just have to submit stuff the way they want it. Good luck.

I thought I was putting it in the way they wanted it. I've stopped putting images in from the lenses that had supposedly produced soft images, always remove any dust, get rid of any Chromatic Aberration present, and they still manage to find something they don't like, real or otherwise. :bang:

Thanks for the encouragement though, I'll stick at it as long as they don't ban me from submitting for repeated QC failures.......
 
Well done! It's a good feeling, although it probably feels more momentous than it is. I did use it as an excuse to treat myself to a new camera bag though :)

I've replied to your other thread, but with regards to submissions I tried years ago, when my images were rubbish and got rejected, but haven't had any problems this time around.
 
They said on the first batch that failed "visible watermarking".
I've looked at every image in the batch and I can't see any watermarking. I thought maybe I'd uploaded the wrong photos. The next two batches didn't even have reasons and they were all submitted weeks apart.

I might try again. I have some from this weekend on Brighton that might be ok.
 
Congrats. I received my email this morning saying that I had passed QC.

As per your other thread, keywording isn't that easy. I have decided to go RF to start with but don't expect any sales, just the experience really.
