formerly snappyoncalifornia Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) I think we all must do what we must do in order to help publishers, designers, and the photo buying world to survive, especially gig workers many of whom have no medical insurance (yeah, I'm in the USA). If these people, our clients, go out of business then we will circle the drain with them. Speaking strictly for myself, I say discount the images to the point where Alamy is barely breaking even as long as it helps them stay afloat. Better they should become loyal buyers at the back end of this nightmare then we all go down the tubes together.

Filip Jedraszak Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Does this include clearing a payment and then after 5 days or so un-clearing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teia Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Hi, I'm new contributor on alamy website. I've  just registered on 24th of April. I try to understand how it works as I submited ilustration files and I don't have any feedback and the images apreas in QC since then. This is the regular procedure and tournaround now or I'm ignored because I'm new?  Thank you! Teia  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teia Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Thank you! I just received the approval after almost a month. I know how things work at the moement in Uk as I live in Uk too.

David Priddis Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Is any one else having problems with the web uploader? It manages to upload 2 to 3 images and drops out for me. I have no other internet connection problems. Zoom etc. work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
