Title: alamy Q/C Process
Post by: tab62 on April 19, 2012, 15:30

Hi MSG Folks,

I guess if I have a batch of pics in the Que and have not heard from alamy for the last 5 days I can safely assume I got rejected? I only uploaded on small batch file (14 pics) thus no huge loss. How long do they take to notify me of my failure?

Thanks.

Tom

These days review takes much longer than usually. It was usually one day for me but last review  took ten days (images were approved), another batch is still waiting for review (5 days). I had no rejected images in last months - I don't know what's going on.

In the forums, you'll see that they've had a problem with their servers, which has held up inspections. I had a batch uploaded on the 5th passed yesterday.

you folks just made my day- my loading is process is to only send pics that have passed from Shutterstock, dreamstime, fotolia and GL thus I feel they are good clean pics. I will still hold off until they pass before I upload anymore.

Thanks.

I've had them take up to 11 days and all were approved.  If you're only sending files that have been vetted already by inspectors at other agencies then you probably have nothing to worry about.

I just had a batch of nearly 200 approved after 11 days and was starting to think that I had probably made a mistake uploading so many at once and that they were probably all going to be rejected.
