April 26, 2007; 03:32 AM If you are a Flickr member, you would have every reason to cheer.
Royalty-free stock photo library 123RF is bringing stock photography to
another level with the introduction of its Flickr API (Application
Programming Interface) integration.
Flickr is an online photo management and sharing community that lets
users store, organize, share and create personalized premiums to family
and friends.
Flickr members can now upload their personal portfolio for sale at
123RF.com. With this new feature, Flickr members have the opportunity
to convert their images into royalty-free stock photos and earn instant
cash.
Instead of just having their personal collection stored online, Flickr
members now have the opportunity to see their masterpieces used in a
commercial capacity. When Flickr users license their images on
123RF.com, customers can purchase the right to use these images on
billboards, press advertisements, publications and other marketing
campaigns. Currently, Flickr photos can only be used if the owner is
credited appropriately under a Creative Commons license.
With this integration, users from the Flickr Community are able enjoy
hassle free uploads to 123RF via 123RF's implementation of the Flickr
API. The sign in, selection and upload process is user friendly, quick
and intuitive - thanks to the use of AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript and
XML) programming techniques. In addition to that, all keywords and
descriptions for the images are instantly imported from Flickr as well,
there is absolutely no need to do additional work to get Flickr images
to 123RF. Now that is as easy as 1 - sign in; 2 - select and 3 - send
for review! Images will be approved within 24 hours for sale on
123RF.com if the image meets all our criteria.
