Pay as you go with Imagetogo

Imagetogo.net has grown dramatically in the last year, so much so that they are planning to launch in the USA in the autumn.

The only price model they offer is pay as you go. So when the photographers are not earning money they are a zero overhead.

They are about to launch a major upgrades to their site taking advantage of the latest .net C4 technology. They have focused their attention on making the end clients experience (the photographer's clients) more rewarding. The slideshow will have fade in and out, the size of the image will go up from 400 pixels square to massive 500 pixels square and they will be introducing an indexing system, so that clients can find images more quickly, especially valuable for ‘Event’ photographers.

ChopChop’ is unique to Imagetogo.net. Being in the final stage of their patent application. It’s a browser plug-in, (not a desktop application) that takes the large image files from your ‘C’ drive, automatically optimises them and sizes them before sending the images to the server. So it actually transmits very small files across the internet which is why it will work on a 56kb modem and obviously works a lot faster on broadband.
