Jansos Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I thought we could start a 'C' day topic to highlight any changes we notice going forward from 24th July. For me all is quiet on the western front apart from the fact that even though it is 11.01am on the 24th My Alamy, 24 Jul 2021 – Last updated on 23 Jul 2021 hasn't been updated yet. I guess there is a lot of last minute stuff still to do! 😞 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stipe Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 2 sales popped up yesterday, July 24 with the new contract. I think it's the first time I got reported sales on Saturday. It looked like Alamy wanted to wait the begin of the new contract before reporting them in my account! 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not exactly sure to be honest but given that it is uncharted water it might be useful to see what how it impacts, apart from the obvious changes in commision etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Richards Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Two small sales dated for 23rd showed up this morning, so just sneaked in for my 50% cut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have sold about 5+ images that are published in next years 2022 calendars. They are available to purchase now from book stores and garden centres but non of the images have appeared in my sales history as yet. According to Alamy there is a special arrangement with calendar manufacturers which means they don’t have to register an image use until March of the actual calendar year. So that’s 10% commission gone already even though the calendars were available to purchase in April 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAROL SAUNDERS Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 My unreported sale got reported on the 23rd July exactly three months to the day as you folk advised it probably would be but I'm not too excited about the $ but that's life, onwards and upwards......

John Mitchell Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 (edited) It's now C day +2, and it seems that one of the changes we're starting to see is more control of discussion on the forum -- i.e. closing of threads. Whether or not this is just a coincidence remains to be seen. Edited July 26, 2021 by John Mitchell 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine an unmentionable word appeared, delete that reply, but not sure why cut discussion. The one that I actually found the most egregious was one on impact of people with masks in image in long term. Heck i was actually hoping Alamy would join in and give us input from them as distributor and pulse of clients, but instead they just lock the thread.

Got me. 🤔 I've always thought that there should be a closed -- i.e. for contributors only -- forum option. Perhaps this would be a good time to create one (hint, hint). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three kicks in the teeth for me as well.........not sure I can be bothered to keep putting up on the found images thread. I have unreporteds from three months back, that's a real punch in the face, to wait ages and then to have those discounted as well.
