I assume that they're not hauling any 5-starrers in for random QC. Or at least I have my fingers crossed for that. Of course that means you'll get passed a bit faster Deo gratias!

Bionic Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I’m a mere 3* but mine still seem to be going through in about 24 hrs despite the Alamy announcement that thing may take a little longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a 5* i went through QC last Tuesday with 3 images, was cleared on Thursday AM. so a bit longer, but still reasonable based on conditions.

Of course that means you'll get passed a bit faster Deo gratias! You did not cross your fingers hard enough. I have been 5* ever since the system was introduced and have become used to most of my submissions immediately passing QC, with only the odd one called in for a random check. I submitted a batch on Thursday which was taken into QC, along with another batch submitted on Friday while the first was still in QC. This followed three or four automatic passes, and I was not unduly surprised about this, although this seemed to me a little quicker than usual between checks. Both submissions passed QC on Friday. I was surprised, therefore, to find that my next batch, submitted last night, has also gone into the QC queue. I don’t know how they decide when to put 5* submissions through the full QC, procedure, but despite always having been 5* that now means two successive QC processes, or three if you count the one on Friday submitted while Thursday’s was still in QC. Hopefully this latest one will go through quickly, and I have not through some glitch in the system somehow lost my 5* privileges (my dashboard still says 5*).

Graham Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Quote Yes, I think it's random, yesterdays submission is in QC. Beginning to wonder whether they are abandoning the 5* immediate pass regime. My last three submissions which had gone into QC passed yesterday afternoon. My next submission this morning has also gone into the QC queue.

Allan Bell Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Still waiting on 20th April for QC result from 2nd April upload. Sent email to CR giving details of holdup on 20th April. Received standard reply email as usual by return. There is a new bit at the top of the standard email reply as follows:- For an extended period of time due to the current world situation dealing with the covid-19 virus, we may not be able to respond to your email. Still Waiting. Allan ARRRRRRRRRRRGH! Is there no way out? ITMA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITMA Oh deah, that is a long time and no way of getting through 😐 I decided to check the forum now because I sent in my first submission on April 14th and the images are still in QC. After reading this, I regret not sending my best 3! I was somewhat testing the waters with my images. 😇I guess I'll have to wait at least as long as you.

You don’t need to send your best 3 images however you would judge that anyway. All you need to get going on Alamy is 3 images that demonstrate that you can take a reasonably sharp, reasonably well-exposed picture. The content is irrelevant for this purpose and is irrelevant to QC in general. QC don’t care if you are the next David Bailey or the next A.N. Other. So keep it simple and unless you are a complete novice you will soon be up and running. Edited April 22, 2020 by MDM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I uploaded five images yesterday - went straight to QC after 5 successive QC by passes. They passed early evening today. I had another eight queued up so sent them through. Straight to QC again.
