Feb 21, 2010 – PhotoShelter, a leader in portfolio websites, photo sales and archiving tools for photographers, has partnered with PicScout, the worldwide standard for image credit, information, and commerce, to automatically include their photographers’ images in the PicScout ImageIRC (index, registry and connection platform). This partnership gives individual photographers access to the same powerful PicScout technology used by major image libraries worldwide, enabling them to connect with more image buyers and ensure critical metadata remains accessible to image users anywhere online.
PicScout’s ImageExchange™ add-on populates an (i) icon on the images wherever they are used online. This universally recognized icon provides valuable information to image users while they’re searching for new images to license or purchase, and in one click provides a direct connection back to the PhotoShelter photographer’s e-commerce page to facilitate legitimate image sales.
During the initial PicScout rollout, compensation to PicScout for image sales derived through the PicScout ImageExchange will be waived, and all PhotoShelter photographers’ publicly searchable and priced images will be automatically enrolled. Following the initial trial period, financial terms will be announced and photographers will have the opportunity to continue or opt-out. Read More→
