Excellent.  I guess enough of us opted out to get their attention. 

At the moment I'm remaining opted out of Alamy's 'Novel Use' programme.

It's not because I disagree with it. Anything that brings me in more money is good.

But they don't seem to have thought through the concept well enough yet and they're having to tweak it. There's shades of iStock's famous 'woo-yay!' developments that went a bit haywire. (Anyone remember their keywording fiasco?)

When Alamy have got their act together then I'll decide.

Got my first $1.00 novel use sale at alamy, profiting me $.50
... that is lower than most microstock sales.

I really wonder if this is going to catch on, or just give people a bad taste in their mouths for microstock.  Microstock works because there are 100's, 1000's of sales.  Alamy's microstock sales are pretty meager, making it simply poor payment for a photo.  Hopefully it picks up.
