New York, NY, September 4, 2005. StockPipeline.com has opened the spigot for
photographers, artist’s reps and small stock photo agencies by
providing low-cost/hi-res hosting, ecommerce and image fulfillment in a
centralized platform. This fundamental solution for conducting the
business of stock photo licensing online exceptionally offers image
creators and their agents total control over the commercial aspects of
their imagery, and 100% royalties on their photo licenses.
StockPipeline.com tapped into the stock photography industry’s first global content licensing and rights control software which launched in 2000, then added essential elements to offer a completely automated, artist-controlled business platform for the licensing of stock photos. The technology acts as a backend that supports the individual web sites of each participant, like the engine of a car that can take any body on its framework.
Image suppliers benefit by maintaining of their brand and direct relationships with their clients, and from online keywording and captioning, optional user control of pricing, online sales tracking, direct client invoicing and instant email notification upon each image license.
The image upload process lets images flow online without restriction, using drag and drop image upload and auto extraction of metadata from IPTC/File Info. Automation creates the thumbnail and preview images for display in pages of search results and also resizes all images to be a standardized 56 MB file size to satisfy client demand.
Picture researchers and other image users who search the web sites of participants enjoy the benefits of centralized technology, such as fast search speeds, eight language search and the unique user-controlled resizing of images upon download.
StockPipeline.com is technology sales tool, not a marketing channel. To assist the essential need of marketing, it has made special arrangements with StockPhotoFinder.com, the stock photo search engine that is rapidly growing marketing for image suppliers with its 100% royalty model. Those who leverage their direct marketing via the Stock Photo Finder will receive a $100 discount on the setup fees at StockPipeline.com, as well as the perfect fit of an e-commerce platform that is ideally suited for direct marketing.

There is a one-time setup fee of $200, which is discounted for members of the StockPhotoFinder.com marketing search engine or the Stock Artists Alliance trade association (StockArtistsAlliance.org). A low transaction fee that is paid by those who license the image applies for image downloads.
