According to co-founder and chief executive officer Serban Enache, Dreamstime’s user-base has grown by over 30% during the last 5 months. Enache, who thinks such growth is probably the highest in the industry, said: “[Our small-company clients] must be affected by the crisis more than high-end users budget-wise... Still, we see no sign of slowdown (records for sales, new members, received content).”
Dreamstime has just announced that its inventory has exceeded 5 million images, and its user base has reached 1.3 million registered members. The company has also introduced several new features.
The microstock agency’s exclusive collection has expanded to 500,000 images. In addition users can now search by one of Dreamstime’s 60,000 contributing photographers. The search-by-color feature has also been updated, allowing users to locate images by shade, tint and saturation in addition to primary and secondary colors.
Dreamstime has also endeavored to improve search relevance. Its flag system allows members to report improperly keyworded or categorized images.
