ImageExchange Raises Awareness and Connection for Purchase, whatever the Trends may be!
PDN editor David Walker posted in his blog of January 20, 2010 that stock image purchases are a rough barometer of cultural trends and values, pointing to some of the best sellers of 2009 from iStockphoto, Dreamstime, and Fotolia.
We are very pleased to report that most of the highlighted images representing usage trends in green themes, nature/health, families, business topics, and Christmas themes (home-made cards to economize) are recognized by ImageExchange. For beta users who have installed the Firefox add-on, the images are represented with the 
icon which allows the users to connect to the licensor in one-click.
With Image ExchangeTM, photographers through licensors - and soon via other platforms using ImageIRCTM - can raise awareness of their images and make them more immediately accessible to creative professionals and other image buyers to learn more and transact for rights immediately. ImageExchange images are inherently more visible to targeted audiences as they follow the latest trends, whatever they may be at any time or during any season.
Check out the PDN post and let us know what you think. Could ImageExchange help promote images as best sellers for 2010? Request to be part of the ImageExchange beta, and you can judge for yourself!
While Every Image Gets Its Credit, Image Exchange recognized images may generate more sales, too!

Joi Ito’s comments for TechNewsWorld make it clear that PicScout ImageExchange “…is allowing people who are searching the Web to very easily find out where the images are coming from to proactively pay or give attribution or whatever the photographer wants to do.”
It’s all over the web-this Executive Q&A with Joi Ito by Jack Germain.
The key to achieving digital image rights is clearly seen as a web layer, and PicScout does agree.
As Joi says, the technical issues have been made easy, now for the legal layer. PicScout ImageExchange and ImageIRC create the infrastructure to fingerprint every image, associate metadata wherever the image appears, and connect for rights usage immediately. Make it legal and keep it easy; install ImageExchange!
