M.Chapman Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I've just noticed Alamy's blog entitled Alamy QC. How it works has been updated following introduction of the new Image Manager and explains the QC star rating and upload freezing if you fail. Apologies if this has been mentioned before, but I hadn't noticed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Clemson Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Thanks for pointing us to this. I certainly hadn't noticed it. I fascinated to learn that "getting three QC stars is easy". I've never had any photo fail QC in 180 submissions over 5 years and I still only have two stars. I wonder what that third easy star involves?

That's curious, my QC record sounds similar to yours, and yet I've got 3 stars. More gremlins in the system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Only one here, for reasons unfathomable, and it doesn't make a blind bit of difference to my QC times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Morrison Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 QC stars... "Discoverability"... Both unnecessary additions which mean sweet FA... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be your positive influence Mark. Sod's law says my next submission will fail.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bell Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 1 star. Unfortunately I had a recent fail. Silly me. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Morgan Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I found it interesting to read the comments. Realized how few of the people commenting knew what type of library Alamy is and they all thought the QC was automated. Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kuta Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Hmmm...I just went to look at my submission history (I have three stars), but I don't see the button for that anywhere. Is it gone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The left-hand panel in AIM is your sub history now, I think. No more proud pages of green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kuta Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Ah, that explains it--I've only looked at AIM once (haven't submitted for a good while now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies if this has been mentioned before, but I hadn't noticed it. Some of those complaints comments are a year old so it can't be that new. Original blog was written in 2014 (hence the old comments). But the updated blog title reads "Alamy QC. How it works – updated for 2017" and it includes information about the new Image Manager interface which was released late in 2016. The blog has been substantially rewritten.
