Alamy is not a place to learn it is a place to sell images that buyers can be sure are up to a certain standard. If an image fails QC it would have let us all down if it had slipped through and then been purchased, by a subsequently unhappy customer. Would you be happy to supply a substandard image direct to a client. I am guessing you would not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you be happy to supply a substandard image direct to a client. I am guessing you would not. I wholly agree...but I had done my pre upload checks and was happy with the result....but now I won't know what is wrong for another month. If I have missed something, then it would be good not to replicate the error? What would be wrong in releasing the 'failed' notice and still disabling uploads (if that is the best way forward)?

Inchiquin Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Something has certainly happened in the last week or so. After 7 years of consistent 2-3 day turnover, my last two uploads have zipped through the next day. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sultanpepa Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 These things happen Mark. I'm not too worried yet. If I fail it'll be the first and I know it'll happen some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Richmond Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Just had a batch passed QC that was uploaded on Thursday evening (9 April). A few weeks back I'd have thought that fast but my most recent 15 uploads have been through in 24-36 hours. Looks like the current technical work is interfering with QC timings / order.

Deborah H Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Had an email back from customer service today and he admitted that the Track Submissions page has fallen off the rails AND that QC is still backed up from Easter for some of us. I was quite surprised to hear about the QC situation because I had been pleasantly surprised for the last few weeks when uploads were zooming through QC in 24-48 hours. Ah well -- hope they get it sorted soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulstw Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Since I switched to the Fuji X-T1 I haven't failed a batch yet. Added about 150 or so since I got it. Best thing I ever did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
