MariaJ Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Do photos in live news go immediately into one's regular stock portfolio after the 48 hours has passed? I know that's where they end up, but I'm wondering if they disappear from customer's view for a time when they make the transition. I uploaded some live news images the day before yesterday (Sunday). I saw them in the Live News feed, but this afternoon (Tuesday) I couldn't find them. I did a general search for them in the Alamy search box, and then through the Live News. I couldn't find them through either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I haven't noticed nor looked out for this delay in the past. Have you taken a look in your your own images ready collection in Manage Images? Normally you get an e-mail telling you to keyword them, presumably this has happened?

Arletta Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Edit them like normal images. They are not ready for regular sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 The only time this happened to me was when the News team decided that the images were not sufficiently newsworthy. Although they appeared on the news feed for a while ((over a weekend) they were then moved to the normal QC queue (fortunately they passed). It might be worth looking at "Track my submissions" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpole Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 With regards to news items when they are moved to stock is it worth changing the caption to remove alamy/Live news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacecadet Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 IIRC you need to fill in the attributes but that doesn't keep them off sale. You would probably add more keywords. I believe that if you trim the caption below 128 characters, it stays that way. You lose the long news caption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariaJ Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Thanks for your answers. My news images did seem to disappear from searches for a short time, even though I had fully keyworded them, and completed the attributes section etc. I could see them in Manage Images as "ready". But they did eventually appear again and are in my regular stock port, so all is well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I arrived there late and couldn't find any good vantage points, so I ended up photographing spectators for the most part. You got some really nice shots of the dancers BTW. We probably passed each other in the throng without even knowing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariaJ Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Thanks. I was fortunate that near the end of the parade I got a front row view because the crowds had thinned out. Always lots of colourful sights at that parade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
