Wow, you come here to whine about your work not being up to Alamy's lax standards and then take cheap shots at some of the members. Hmmm, I wonder why you're having problems.

Jeez Walnuts...you're more hostile than Alamy. All I'm doing is stirring up the pot a bit in a supposedly open forum. Oh yes, I never said that I'm having problems with QC...I just don't agree with their hostile policies like closing down their forum! Lets keep a perspective on this and realize that they're nothing more than a frigging middle man and are making millions upon millions off the backs of us. You make them out to be God's gift to the stock photographers of the world...get a grip!!!

FYI I shoot with a Nikon D-300 and top quality Nikon lenses. Problem is, I don't shoot one dimensional brick walls at F/32 like you.

If you think f/32 gives you the sharpest images, then you are definitely on wrong track...
Maybe you have problems because you have a crop sensor camera, or you're exposing wrong or you don't shoot raw?

I'd very much like to see your rejected images at full size (or at least crops)

Perry, Read the post!!! It says "I don't shoot at F/32".  I was merely being facetious and implying that the only images currently getting through QC are those that are FLAT!!!  It's only since they outsourced ( which is another black-eye against Alamy ) QC over to India have experienced contributors been experiencing problems.

If I were running a stock web-site and had as many daily problems as Alamy does with everything from uploads, unreported sales, CTR, Zooms, QC, manage image tools, policy changes, and the list goes on and on... I wouldn't be so quick to revoke contributors upload privileges when they have a hard time dealing with the QC monster fiasco! It sends the wrong message that it's ok for Alamy to screw up big-time on a daily basis but No latitude for contributors QC errors. To me it's hostile, mean spirited, and arrogance at it's worst. They created the QC monster, now let them deal with it ALL on an equal basis.

You have to stop using your P&S camera it won't get through QC  ;D

I see all of MagtheHag's 4 posts here are ranting about alamy.  Perhaps there should be an obsessed ranting newbies section for this sort of thing?
Great Idea sharpshot...OBTW...were you the one in grade school carrying the briefcase, wearing suspenders and giving the teacher an apple everyday?

I will say it again...Alamy QC department has become HOSTILE. Besides that, how many posters here are actually selling any images in the sea of 17 million?  Don't waste your time.

When Alamy was first formed it was suppose to be the most contributor "friendly" stock agency ever inaugurated. WOW, has that ever changed. I'm a contributor to Getty Images, Alamy, Photographers Choice, and License Stream. Without a doubt, Alamy has become downright HOSTILE! Their QC department has been outsourced to India and they don't have a clue as to what they're doing. Mark my word and avoid Alamy...they are HOSTILE and not worth the time and energy involved in selling your stock images! How is a buyer going to find and license your images in a sea of 17 million images...NOT?
