/24-7PressRelease/ - June 26, 2007 - The royalty free stock photography industry has experienced tremendous growth in the emergence for more micro-payment stock photo web sites like ImageCatalog.com (http://www.imagecatalog.com).
Designers on a budget can now search and download top quality royalty free stock photos for as little as one dollar from ImageCatalog’s database.
Designers should be warned that not all sites maintain the same quality standards. The two main types of resolution are web resolution (72 dpi) and print resolution (300 dpi). Images at web resolution (800x600) are perfect for web sites and in most cases hide flaws like high ISO noise, blurriness, and other artifacts. The same cannot be said for print resolution where image sizes can extend beyond 4900x3300 in size. Every flaw of the image is exposed at print resolution and more attention to detail is required. Image Catalog’s team of image inspectors pride themselves in approving only the best images.
“Our mandate from the beginning is to differentiate ourselves from other stock photography agencies by only offering top quality high resolution images, said Philip Louie, President of Image Catalog Media Inc. Images are individually inspected at full resolution for sharpness, noise and dust. By focusing on quality we believe it will be one of the key business drivers to our success in the industry, continued Louie.
Another benefit that ImageCatalog.com has been aware of from the beginning is accuracy of keywords. Additional administrative resources are spent in reviewing keywords for accuracy and ensuring relevant results are displayed when designers are performing searches. A more advance search feature is currently under development and will provide designers more flexibility in precise searching.
