Steve Valentia Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) I uploaded 10 shots 30 minutes ago and they've just passed QC. Incredibly fast considering I didn't use reportage or Alamy News upload routes (I have reportage, not news). I've also noticed that my QC rating is now 5*, when (I think) the maximum was previously 3*. Those better informed are welcome to enlighten me. Happy Christmas!

I had a browse and there's no real explanation of what's changed, and it doesn't explain why I passed in minutes on a Sunday (there hasn't ever been QC at the weekend before). I wonder if the 5* rating (which was only 3* max previously, is connected. Or maybe QC is on holiday!

Inchiquin Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Is this perhaps a sign that Alamy are now using software for QC rather than humans (at least for contributors with a high rating)? Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Valentia Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 Just got an email from Alamy saying response times from QC will be slower over Christmas. I tried an upload (1 image) and checked it, 3 minutes later. It had passed. Go figure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
