Adobe has expanded its Photoshop Services through new partnerships with Iron Mountain, a provider of data backup/recovery and archiving software, and MorePhotos.com, an e-commerce provider for professional photographers. The announcement was made at at this week’s at the PMA (Photo Marketing Association) Convention.
Expected to be available in the second quarter of the year, the new services will enable users to protect their digital images and increase photography business profits through an online photo backup service and integrated access to online proofing and photo sales capabilities, according to Deborah Whitman, vice president of product management for Digital Imaging at Adobe.
Adobe’s partnership with Iron Mountain provides an online photo backup service to protect against accidental loss or corruption of digital photos. The subscription service gives photographers the ability to automatically and easily back up their library of digital images and provides instant access to those images whenever and wherever they need them. In addition, photographers can now back up other design files, financial files, documents, spreadsheets and presentations automatically, eliminating the need to buy, label and store CDs, Zip disks or other media. This new service is integrated with Adobe Bridge as well as Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 and 4.0.
Adobe’s new partnership with MorePhotos.com provides photographers with integrated access to online proofing and sales capabilities. This secure Internet service makes it easy for any professional photographer to upload images to the Web and have clients proof and purchase photos, Whitman says. The service gives photographers total control over their images, pricing, and all orders, she adds. Photographers use Adobe Bridge to select images from their computer and transfer them to MorePhotos.com for online proofing and photo sales.
