| May 11, 2005 FutureStock Reduces Image Production by 80% using Scene7’s Dynamic Imaging Solution Stock photo agency adds dynamic zoom, dynamic digital watermarking, re-sizing and cropping for over 200,000 high resolution images Novato, CA — May 11, 2005 — Scene7®, provider of the leading automated rich media platform to grow revenues by creating visually enhanced targeted customer experiences via the web, email & print, today announced that stock photo agency FutureStock, subsidiary of NancyScans Companies, is using Scene7’s rich media platform to add dynamic zoom, digital watermarking, and cropping across its online stock photography ecommerce site. “We chose Scene7 because they offered the widest range of rich media solutions from a single integrated platform,” said Yoon Chung, Director of Operations for FutureStock. “With over 200,000 high resolution images served from our digital image library system, we required a reliable, scalable solution that would enable us to show the quality and details of our imagery and streamline our website production process.” FutureStock, headquartered in Chatham, NY provides stock photography and large-format digital print services. On the FutureStock website, Scene7’s Dynamic Imaging enables customers to select an image, zoom in deep to inspect its quality, and crop it to fit their needs. Once a customer is ready to purchase the image, Scene7 dynamically generates and delivers the image in the specified size and file format. Scene7’s digital watermarking capabilities enable FutureStock to embed an ID into each image to deter copyright infringements. Scene7’s rich media platform dynamically generates and delivers unlimited derivatives from single master images, enabling FutureStock to automatically prepare and deliver its vast library of high resolution images for the web, drastically reducing the time and costs associated with image production and delivery. “Scene7 is our mechanism for delivering our high quality images. Because Scene7 can automatically re-size and optimize images from our masters we have reduced the overall storage requirements by 30% and the number of images we have to prepare and manage to just one-fifth of conventional methods, which has resulted in significant cost savings for us.” said Chung. “Scene7’s dynamic imaging capabilities allow us to scale our business – we plan to grow to over half a million images over the next six months, and without Scene7 it would be difficult for us to achieve that goal.” "As a professional photo agency, FutureStock understands the importance of showing high quality imagery online," said Doug Mack, CEO of Scene7. “We’re pleased that our rich media platform is helping FutureStock deliver an enhanced online experience for its customers while producing positive business results.” About FutureStock FutureStock is a part of NancyScans Companies, an affiliation of three corporations all dedicated to the production and distribution of high quality photographic images and output. Working in unison, the three affiliates (NancyScans, NancyScansDFM, and FutureStock) create a unique hybrid that offers images, output and on-demand fulfillment for large and small businesses alike. Launched in late 2003, FutureStock represents over 200,000 Royalty Free stock photographs online. However, licensing images is just one facet of the FutureStock offering. Utilizing interpolation software developed by NancyScans, FutureStock is the only stock photo agency that delivers files sizes up to 700 MBs.
