Heavy photoshoped photo
Wait - are you saying a photograph of art is an illustration, but a vector of an image is a photograph?  I'm not following.  I know what a heavily processed image is, but I would say that does not include a vector.

Ah, I missed that is vector. Not it's not photograph then.

Ofcourse it's illustration. You cant' upload canvas, right? So you have to take photo of it

My earnings definitely increased after free collection, not decreased as some predicted.

I seriously doubt this are real refund. I mean, from 8 years ago?? I think, this is just money theft, take a few cents or dollars from each contributor and you got a lot of money

Anyone else received unusal payment from getty? I've earned 98$ in January, so 2$ short of payment threshold, and I just recived message from paypal that getty send me 82$?? And 82$ is unusal amount two, I pay 5% taxes so even I getty would send me those 98$ I should get about 93$.

I didn't get any remittance (whatever that is) email, as I usually do?

I disagree that old images are removed. Yes, new images show up on the front page but also dissapear if they are not sold. Older images remain, if they are regulary sold. I have this deer image on the top of the first page for about 2 years for "deer" keyword and it's also selling regulary. I'm also seeing other deer images on the first page, that are there what seems like "forever".

If I understand correctly "cleared" sale means, that a customer paid for that image to alamy. For example date of invoice shows, when sale was made, and then cleared section (usually it's cleared 1,5-2 months later) shows, when was money received for that sale. "Paid" section shows a month, when I was paid for that particular sale.

Now if 4 sales were cleared in July and paid to me in August, shouldn't that fifth sale, that was also cleared in July paid to me in August?

I'm asking about a sale that has empty row in "paid" section, as you can see, there are other sales in July that were cleared around the same month and paidin august, but not that particular sale.

EDIT: There are four sales, that were cleared in July and paid in August, but not that with an empty row in "paid" section". Shouldn't that sale been paid in august too?

Shouldn't I get paid for this already?

Enchanced means it can be printed on a product for resale, or for example for Calendar or whatever with 500.000+ print runs

They changed that.

What it says on my statement (and I recall that is also what was in their changed terms):

- sale: 0.15
- Alamy distribution commission 60% of net: 0.05
- 40% distributor commission: 0.06

Only the order of the last two lines is confusing, as they first deduct the distributor commission and then take their own commission (60% of net, which ends up as 36% of the gross value).
So with distribution sales you end up with 24% of the gross value.

And in this case their 60% of net would be 60% of 0.09 = 0.054, but they did deduct 0.05, so they did round in our favour.
Not that it matters much, they should simply not allow sales at these low values.

Oh, so my modern math isn't quite right?  Even though the numbers add up? And that's the way they show it on my balance sheet?

31 May 2021    Sale    2BC2K81    Sale         28.73        
31 May 2021    Alamy Distribution Commission    2BC2K81    30%    8.62            
31 May 2021    Distributor Commission    2BC2K81    40% Distributor Commission    11.49             
8.62 + 11.49 = $20.11

Net revenue sales report
Sale       Deduction   Due
28.73   -20.11   8.62

That sure looks like Alamy 30%, Distributor 40% and I get 30% ?

What am I doing wrong?

That was before the contract change. Can't remember exactly at what date they changed the contract, it was around middle of the year.
Everything on my account balance up to early June looks like you describe it (40% distributor, 30% Alamy, 30% for me).
The next distributor sale I got was on August 31, there it says what I wrote above (40% distributor, 60% of net Alamy, rest =24% for me).

Thank You for explaining!  :) Now I have to look closer. Boy, thank you Alamy for finding another way to take more and pay us less. Just can't wait for the new contract levels to kick in in June.

Nope no distributor sales since May. But I'll be watching!

Thanks for correcting me.

dirkr is right, I remember having 2 bigger sales last year, and I was dissapointed, when I found out I don't get 30% but lest, I think it was 24% or sth.

gross                         my net
127.36   -96.79   30.57

Just can't wait?

Wait wut?
