| Happy New Year from Photographers Direct. New improvements to the website Image Search facility include: 1) searching by format (horizontal, vertical, square, panoramic or any combination) 2) estimate for high res delivery of images. Could be 'same day' or 'allow up to a week' for example, depending on the photographer. 3) searching by 'quality level' All images are now given a quality rating, and you can choose the images you wish to view by this rating, from 1 to 9. Thus if you are looking for a very high quality image for an advertising campaign or book cover, you could raise the quality level to 7, 8 or even 9 and view only the best pictures. On the other hand, if you are researching obscure subjects where is is difficult to find images, and quality is not such a high priority, you can lower the quality level to 'all' (1) and view all available images! Best regards, Chris Barton Photographers Direct - Fair Trade Photography. |
