I'm relieved, I didn't want to pull out of Veer.

That said, I wonder why I haven't had the information sent via e-mail, since I put a complaint in about it.

Went from 164 to 213. Hope this gets fixed soon. Haven't sold anything there though.

Well, you can't be sure of that because reporting is so slow - but so are sales, so the chances are that you haven't.

I've not had a reply to my email either. I suspect the staff at Veer have been too busy unpicking their agreement with Alamy these last few days. For their part, Alamy are today proposing increased forays into commercial photography - so I don't imagine that this is the last of the Microstock Libaries to explore some form of distribution model with them....

I'm pleased Veer is going to correct the "Alamy Creative" situation.  However, I'm going to wait until my images are actually removed before uploading anymore to them. 

qwerty

I wouldn't mind veer putting them on alamy if

1) no duplication of existing content
2) we got the % royality of the sale price not normal veer royality
3) option for opt out if you wanted

I've checked and at this moment my Veer portfolio on Alamy has been deleted.

Thanks Brian, but I'll keep a close eye on this issue since as someone living from the stock income I cannot trade +30% of my income for 2% of it.

There is a technical issue going on at Alamy where recent uploaded images are not showing up in searches...I had a batch of 146 images that went live on Friday that are missing from the search but are still listed in Manage Images.  May or may not be related to you not seeing things in your search.

The few images from Veer Portfolio that I got on Alamy "Creative Colection" were removed. And they more than year old on both agency's, so I doubt that is related to that search issue.

Before that I sent an email requesting Veer to suspend all my images. Got an answer after one day or less, on June 1, saying that images would be removed from Alamy.

One of two things:

- Or they are removing in reverse order ("LIFO").
- Or they are remove smaller batch's first

Anyway, they promise and are doing it. I'm still interested if they control duplicates and/or have opt-out option.

My images are gone as well. Very good.

brm1949

Yep, all 213 taken down. That's good.

They were still there this morning but seem to be gone now.

Unfortunately you are right. All my images are on Alamy again.

True  :'( It was only a bug. Sigh.  >:(

Mine are back, but no additional images - IOW it does appear they've stopped adding files.

I think it's time for Brian to step in and give us an update on how long it will be before the images are removed.

Wim

lol, kinda funny reading through this thread.
I'm in the same boat as you guys though but I'll let the big fish work it out first ;)

Paulo M. F. Pires

In my case, some are back, others not... none new. Anyway something is going on.. let's hope  ;D

For me,  the images in the Alamy Creativity Collection have been reduced by half so far.

I just checked, and the total count for the collection is 678,268, which is the same as it was this morning. Here's a link to check periodically to see if it's going down on up.

My Veer collection on Alamy continues to GROW!

I have several hundred more images on-line this afternoon than this morning.

Answers needed ASAP, or I won't hesitate to delete my portfolio from Veer.

Jo Ann Snover

Indeed, the count this morning for Alamy Creativity is 901,435 - it's grown by almost 50% since yesterday
