Definitely a slow month here as well. Currently, I have only three sales showing. One of them is a direct license for $$$, though, which helps ease the pain somewhat, and zooms and CTR  are coming back to life. Hope springs... ☘️

 

 

plus you get spring earlier than most of us....  -20C today, but bright sunshine

Thanks Shannon,

 

actually this is the first acknowledgement of this problem even though we have reported it for months, so it's good to know it is being worked on, much appreciated.

It has been a really mild winter here so far. Daffodils are already appearing here and there. There is some colder weather on the way apparently, but temps will still be semi-tropical by Ottawa standards. 🌻

in fairness Ottawa has been tropical by its own standards.  The -20C is only with windchill factor.  I don't think we have had any thing colder so far.  The are however expecting Polar vortex impact in February...

 

but the sun light today is lovely, well bundled up it was a nice walk....

Slow for Views, sales are ok'ish, 4 that were published last June finally reported(Spanish distro sales!), + 3 others...

So I'm kind of on target for an average month.

I am chasing one from Spanish edition of Conde Nast from April 2020 - makes me wonder if there are others of that vintage.

 

Is the Spanish distributor know for being a little slow to report and collect payments?

5 sales so far including one in the high $$s and 3 in the mid $$s, but those were counteracted by a .10 cent payout, so things appear pretty normal so far.

Yes, they are slow and sluggish. Today I have got two distro sales from Spain from June and August. Still waiting to appear two from July.
And I'm afraid clearing is another pain too 😕

It was probably you that reported it on here - I can't find it now. I think it was  an April 2020 edition, an old slide copy of Vigo. 

 

Tried searching the forum but can't find it.

Wow that is impressive. Thank you.

 

I got the wrong date. It's the one of Vigo on 21/07/20. Alamy are aware and told me just today that they are chasing it.

Do you have an update on this please? It is still happening. To understand the problem, my photo count on the left reads 1726, which includes the one image I put through QC and passed yesterday. When clicking that number, it goes to my portfolio page and only shows 1725. This has been happening since at least November last year, was corrected for a short period in the latter half of December, and then started again since early January. It regularly takes images 36-48h from a QC pass to appear for sale. This is not so problematic for stock images that are not time sensitive, but it is very troublesome once live news images drop off the news feed after 48 hours, where they then just disappear off the site altogether before then finally appearing again in the stock portfolio. This is potentially leading to lost sales, a detriment to both contributors and to alamy, and is becoming tiresome having gone on now for a long time. Please can Alamy just level with us contributors and tell us what is going on as this is clearly an ongoing issue.

I'm nearly forty short having been very busy shooting the last few days. I'm also waiting for sale reports from uses from major buyers from six months ago. Contacts with CR don't fill me with confidence that they regard it as that important. It's a sad situation when a business doesn't focus on solving it's core issues.

Hi Everyone,

 

We do appreciate how frustrating this is and please be assured that this is a priority for us and has been escalated.

 

It will be resolved as soon as possible.

 

Thanks,

Have yours come through yet? My LN photos from midweek are all now in the black hole. Just checked as well and some of them were literally alamywhacks 🤦‍♂️

I'm not sure if it's 24 or 48 hours behind. LN from 18th Jan are in stock, but I didn't upload any further LN until 21st, which should pass over tomorrow.

 

Edit: Blue number is 26073, portfolio says 26031.
