Singapore, May 29th 2008 – OnAsia has announced the release of a
significant upgrade to its Windows-based Image Keyworder software. The
new version, currently available at www.imagekeyworder.com, includes a customized ‘Alamy Mode’ for users submitting images to the UK-based photo agency www.alamy.com.
The new functionality for Alamy contributors means that Image Keyworder
is currently the only commercially available software that has been
tailor designed to accommodate the specific annotation requirements of
Alamy. The tool enables Alamy contributors to work on batches of
images; speeding up the workflow for getting their images online.
“When Alamy announced that it was changing its metadata requirements a
few months ago, we saw an opportunity to customize our Image Keyworder
tool for a very specific group of users,” explained Yvan Cohen,
Director at OnAsia. “Alamy was extremely supportive throughout this
process and we now hope that their contributors will see the benefits
of the customized functionality we are providing for them,” he added.
“Throughout the development of Image Keyworder we have aimed to create
a tool that is tailored closely to the needs of digital photographers
faced with the challenge of indexing their images and submitting to
online agencies,” said Mr. Cohen.
One of the most comprehensive and competitively priced keywording
programs on the market, Image Keyworder comes bundled with a thesaurus
comprising over 40,000 terms, including synonyms, alternate forms,
spelling variations and singulars and plurals. The thesaurus is
continually being enriched and updated to ensure that users have access
to a growing pool of terms.
“The thesaurus function means that with a single click you can add
several relevant terms to an image. It’s much easier and faster than
keywording manually,” explained Mr Cohen.
Having grown out of OnAsia’s experience as a professional keywording
service, Image Keyworder also offers users a number of features aimed
at combining comprehensive keywording with productivity. Groups of
images can be processed in batches, templates can be created and saved
for repeat image types and keywords can be selectively added and
removed from sets of images.
Image Keyworder can be downloaded for a free 30-day trial from www.imagekeyworder.com. The trial includes full functionality and access to Image Keyworder’s comprehensive built-in thesaurus.
An Image Keyworder license for two computers costs just US$ 79.99
including a 12-month thesaurus subscription valued at US$ 39.99.
