taylorvm Posted Tuesday at 13:35 Share Posted Tuesday at 13:35 In my first test submission, 2 of the 3 photos passed with a message saying "this image will pass if resubmitted", and the third failed due to softness (which is understandable). I've resubmitted the two that passed along with a new third one, and again 2 of the 3 passed - but this time one of the original "will pass if resubmitted" photos was the one that failed. I'm trying a third time, but am concerned about consistency in QC, especially when all photos in a submission fail if one does. If the same photo will pass one day and fail the next, will this just be an exercise in frustration to get a whole batch passed? Any insight would be much appreciated.

Steve F Posted Tuesday at 15:02 Share Posted Tuesday at 15:02 (edited) Unusual situation as it's your first upload. You can try querying it with the QC team by email. You're right, it's not consistent. However, if I was you, I would just make sure you pass QC first time. Make sure your 3 images are 'normal', i.e. no selective focus with lots of background blur, good lighting, no camera shake etc. https://www.alamy.com/contributors/alamy-how-to-pass-qc.pdf Once you get into the swing of it, most contributors submit and pass QC all the time. I've been submitting since 2015, I've had 1 QC fail during this period (I also failed my initial upload in 2014!)

taylorvm Posted Tuesday at 17:21 Author Share Posted Tuesday at 17:21 Thanks for your response, that's good to know. Sounds like it's worth persevering! I admit to not reviewing the QC document thoroughly enough before my first submission, but I did before I resubmitted and considered my new photo carefully....but I didn't go back and look at the other two since they passed the first time. Although now that I have reviewed the one that was inconsistent, I do see why it failed - they probably should have failed it the first time! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
