Suggestion regarding reduction in commissions to contributors
wiskerke replied to Steve Purnell's topic in Alamy
Only if the quality would warrant it, which seems to be not the case. wim -

Seattle Library - Worldwide Single company - multiple use editorial only - Education. High $$ Bruce Mau Design in a Rem Koolhaas/Joshua Prince-Ramus 2004 building. It's not a wall, just a counter. Let's hope that's not reason for a refund. 😁 wim -
Figuring out my number of Alamy images over time etc
wiskerke replied to Bill Kuta's question in Community support: ask the forum
If you go to AIM and select the submissions of a whole year by clicking on the last submission and then going down while holding the shift key and clicking on the first submission of that year, AIM will do the accounting and display the total of submissions and the total of the images in that year. wim -
And make sure to follow all the links in the article. Plus read the note on the Alamy Image Manager page: Please note: it may take up to 24 hours for your data to become available. Please check here for updates. (The database updates every 24 hours usually during the night, Western European time.) wim

Cabover; Cab over engine; COE; Hot Rod; Hotrod; Custom built truck. Inspired by a forties - mid fifties GMC. Try GMC COE truck in Google Images. Maybe include the Thai location or the names of a couple of the Thai hot rod garages in your search. wim

Yes, I thought the Intranet only detail warranted a post. I have not seen it before afaik. As for peanuts however.. 😂 Which makes me wonder how many images are there on Alamy that illustrate paying peanuts? Hey that's not a whole lot, unless I am using the wrong search term. It turns out the lack of images has a reason: clients are not looking for peanuts in that sense at all. Just Snoopy, Charlie Brown and the odd salted ones. wim -

Guy Talese was born in 1932 on Feb 7 - a Sunday. Need I say more? (How do I know? I was born on Feb 7 on a Sunday. Not in the same year.) Talese is 89 and still writing. Maybe his writing is like the batting of Joe in his article. Somehow I don't think so. What a piece! Thanks for sharing. wim -

We can check your images if you like. You could put the images up somewhere, like your website or Dropbox (free); Imgbb (free); Imagebam (free) or another image or file hosting service that does not alter the image. Ideally just the same files. Maybe if you want with a cross or your watermark over it, just as long it's the exact same image you have sent Alamy. So the exact image size and jpg quality. Most regulars here can easily spot the things QC doesn't like. (note: that Dropbox link includes an invitation which gives both me and the one accepting it free 500MB bonus space - I have not used the other services myself) wim -

Haha yes! No I meant have you read that article that you found. I have visited a couple of these places including Santiago and parts of the Camino. Quite a few years ago and not on foot. The article made me chuckle, but I get it that you want to get back on the trail. Personally I think I have enjoyed walks and rides the most when there were no other people. My personal record is 8 days without people other than my mate. Insignificant in the light of the great explorers, I know. Then again I'm just a tourist with a camera. wim -

That makes it even stranger. I would just submit again. Because whatever the answer will be, you will be asked to submit again. Not the same images of course, but good quality images that will satisfy QC. It is a pity that you cannot see the reasons for rejection. wim -

But yours is a bigger paper. In numbers I mean. Not size-wise. Have you seen this: https://discussion.alamy.com/topic/14325-have-you-found-any-alamy-photos-may-2021/page/13/?tab=comments#comment-288931 wim -

wiskerke replied to Bumblebees Photography's question in Community support: ask the forum
Yes that is weird. I've never heard of images that have been accepted first being refused later on. That's just not how Quality Control works. Could it be you just have to wait until the database is updated? This usually happens overnight (UK time). wim -

You did go to your dashboard? And then to your Alamy Image Manager or AIM for short? (You have to be logged in to access both links.) wim
