Several Thousands Of Free Stock Photos Added In First 24 Hours Of Enhancement
NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(Business Wire)--
Serban Enache, CEO of Dreamstime, one of the world`s leading digital image stock
photography agencies, announced the company`s initiative to up the number of
images made available ABSOLUTELY FREE. 

In January 2007, Dreamstime made available an assortment of images under its
FREE umbrella. The FREEselection-an original and revolutionary sector that has
attracted bargain hunters from around the globe-is a successfully proven concept
that has secured Dreamstime`s footprint in the industry as one-stop-photo-shop
giant. 

Dreamstime has nearly doubled the number of images available ABSOLUTELY FREE
(increasing its FREE library of images by 10% in the first three hours of the
FREE upgrade as effected on October 27th). 

While the total number of images in the Dreamstime gallery is fast-approaching 7
million (with the whole gamut of images all being licensed-from the FREE to the
economically priced, quality images), the increased offering of the vast and
diverse, FREE images (which can be used for any project) elevates the company`s
reputation as a principal in the industry. 

"We anticipate a significant increase in free images,"Enache said. "…increasing
the number of available images from a few thousand upward toward the hundreds of
thousands in the near future."

Improving content daily, one single photographer may add up to ten new images.
The FREE section will be updated in real time and imagery licensed under the
regular royalty free license (the image may be used for its intended purpose up
to 10,000 times). Link: http://www.dreamstime.com/free-photos. 

To further entice the photo shopper, Dreamstime has also upgraded the site`s
search engine making results infinite. Rather than sorting through the vast
array of high quality, reasonably priced treasures (as discovered by
Dreamfinder), page after page, real-time results appear as the user scrolls down
the page. Extinguishing slow page loads, the new "panoramic" option is one more
Dreamstime "convenience." 

"We`ve enjoyed feedback from users telling us they are able to find the image
they are looking for within the first three pages of suggestions," Enache added.
"This search engine upgrade will negate `next page` loads which can be
burdensome to even the most patient shopper." Link:

Dreamstime.com is currently the second leading agency in customer number with
over 10 million unique visitors to the site monthly. The acceleration in numbers
overall makes it the fastest growing stock agency in the world. In addition to
the FREE images available, Dreamstime`s growing gallery is constantly updated
with images from the site`s more than 77,000 contributors. 

"Dreamstime has reached its peak in the rate of total downloads; a new file is
licensed every 2 to 3 seconds.The FREE image offering and search engine
enhancement not only make Dreamstime images priceless, but timeless," Enache
summarized.
