Home site for the Java application ImageManager.
The
goal of this application is to help in managing your portfolio from the Stock
Photo site
www.iStockPhoto.com.
It can be used to download all image data from the users portfolio and then
manage the portfolio locally. Changes can be made locally and later uploaded to
iStockPhoto.
For updates, news, known bugs please check ImageManager blog
ImageManager Pro
There are currently two versions of the ImageManager available:
- ImageManager Basic
- ImageManager Pro
The Basic version is free and in the future will only really receive bug fixes and little new features. The main development effort
will be done on the Pro version. Currently the two versions are still quite similar (the Pro version features a better description editor and
more features on the category selection). Lots of additions are planned for the Pro version and by purchasing this version you are also
contributing to the whole ImageManager development.
Purchasing the Pro version now will give you free updates until (and including) the release of the v1.0.0
