The Cypress Image Gallery benefits all project members, making photo research a truly collaborative process.

Photo Researchers: You can now upload and organize images on a central web site available to all. No more e-mail attachments, no more CDs to mail to authors and editorial.

Designers: You can easily evaluate options for layout solutions or double-check the final photo selections at a glance.

Editorial Staff: You can instantly track a project's progress and select images for usage.

Authors: You can review and comment on photo research and select images any time, day or night, from any computer with an internet connection.

Highlighted Features:

• Drag-and-Drop Upload: Simply drag images (or a whole folder of images) from your desktop to upload them. You can even drag and drop images from other web sites.
• Easy-to-use, Integrated Commenting System: Project members can comment and respond to any image at any time. No more phone meetings to go over material together (unless you want to!).
• E-mail Alerts: You can be alerted via e-mail when new images or comments are posted to the project.
• IPTC Support: Any caption and credit information embedded in images will be automatically extracted and displayed. No need to copy the captions from the agency's website.
• Fully Searchable Database: Search on any field (image name, description, embedded IPTC information, etc.).
• Photo and Spec Manager: Easily move images from one spec to another. Instantly create new chapters and specs or mark specs as killed.
• Not Just Photos: With a wide range of file format support (including PDFs), you can easily expand a project to include the Illustration program for any given project.
