One-click plug-in added to suite of member services that minimize workflow for photographers; allows seamless image upload

NEW YORK, NY and SEATTLE, Wash. - Jan. 10, 2007 - Digital Railroad Inc., a leading provider of Web-based application services for the professional photography industry, announced release of its export plug-in for Apple Aperture. The new plug-in gives Digital Railroad members a one-click solution for transferring image files from Aperture version 1.5 directly into their archives powered by Digital Railroad.

“The combination of the new plug-in and our archive powered by Digital Railroad has taken many of the repetitive and time-consuming tasks out of the workflow process,” said long-time National Geographic photographers Sisse Brimberg and Cotton Coulson, owners of Keenpress (www.keenpress.com).  “Uploading images has never been faster and simpler.”

Unique to the export plug-in developed by Digital Railroad, Aperture users can continue working in the photo-editing program while they upload images to their DRR archives, resulting in a seamless workflow. The plug-in developed by DRR also allows users to add images to the upload in progress.

Digital Railroad members can batch-load directly into an existing image group or create a new group so they maintain control over how and where their images are uploaded. The export plug-in also quickly and easily converts Aperture’s proprietary image format into JPEG and TIFF formats.

The Digital Railroad export plug-in for Aperture is one more tool in the suite of features and services that allows member photographers to submit images easily to their personally branded archives. Digital Railroad also offers members an upload utility for users of iView Media Pro, a wholly owned subsidiary of Microsoft Corp., and scanning and keywording services from JaincoTech.

“We’re always focused streamlining our members’ workflow,” said Evan Nisselson, Digital Railroad CEO and Founder. “By offering features that minimize redundant steps, we enable our members to increase their productivity and get their unique images to market sooner.”
