Portfolio updates

Ok, so a couple of weeks ago I deleted all existing images (not many) to start form scratch with better keywording and captioning.

 

Those images are still listed as "deletion pending" and displaying on my "page"

 

Also, of the first two new images I uploaded for testing using the Lightroom Alamy Bridge, it was not long after approval I could find one of those images.

 

However, the subsequent 18 images I have submitted since those original two have all been approved for days, but none of them are displaying on my page - despite AIM saying they are "On Sale"

 

What am I missing here? Is there further action I need to take that I somehow managed to do by mistake before?

To answer one of my own questions, it appears those still appearing, are only going to be deleted January 2019.... I'm not sure what thats about when all the others I set to delete were actioned quickly.

Deletion prior to keywording is instant. If you let them go on sale, it's 6 months.

That's a bit weird, but OK.

 

Is there a way from cancel deletion to be able to edit then, so as to fix captions, etc?

 

More curious as to why my other images are not appearing.

Hi Chris, you could try emailing the Alamy team, but in principle, no. That's why the delete box asks if you're really sure

 

Other images not appearing either means they're still in QC or you've added them for sale in the last 24 hours and Alamy hasn't updated its search engine yet.

p.s. or it could be Alamy having problems, there's an 'images not being added thread in 'ask the forum'

Thanks Steve - I just noticed that thread myself 🙂
