Digital Railroad Provides a Dedicated Royalty-Free Homepage to Marketplace, Helping Buyers Find RF Images Faster so Photographers and Agencies Maximize Their Reach and Sales

NEW YORK, USA — August 6, 2007 - Digital Railroad, the trusted provider of Web-based archiving and marketing services for the professional photography industry, today announced the availability of an expanded selection of Royalty-Free (RF) images in Digitalrailroad.net™ Marketplace TM. With a storefront dedicated exclusively to RF images, photo buyers can now quickly locate RF images in Marketplace from distinguished photographers and agencies worldwide who distribute RF images through Digitalrailroad.net — the fastest-growing collection of high-quality content from professional photographers and agencies around the world.

Digitalrailroad.net Marketplace (www.digitalrailroad.net) provides a single point-of-access to today's best professional photography sources from over 60 countries, giving buyers the opportunity to maximize search efficiencies and easily license images. An added value is that Digital Railroad delivers the majority of each image license fee back to the source — the member community of photographers and agencies. Continually expanding since its launch in April, Marketplace is successfully connecting buyers and sellers of images, and has licensed its members' images to buyers in dozens of countries.

"Every minute of every day our community of member photographers and agencies is creating and uploading fresh and unique images to Marketplace," said Evan Nisselson, Digital Railroad founder and CEO. "And buyers around the world are using Marketplace to search, rate and buy new images in real-time. We are enabling the photography community to streamline production and maximize sales so our members can spend their time focusing on doing what they love — being creative."

An impressive breadth of high-quality content across Creative, Stock, and Editorial verticals is available in Marketplace, with extensive variety in both RF and Rights-Managed (RM). An important highlight of this special Marketplace RF launch, Blue Jean Images is a brand new collection available for a limited time exclusively on Marketplace. Distinguished RF photography collections currently being featured within Marketplace include:

In addition to the noted collections, a wide variety of RF content is also available from the Digitalrailroad.net community of imaging professionals.
