PicScout has made digital image-crediting services available to all for free. The company made the announcement at this week’s CEPIC Congress in Dublin. A no-free fingerprinting and metadata registry participation in PicScout ImageIRC for use with ImageExchange is now available. PicScout says the move will spur industry-wide adoption of including credits alongside digital images—and extend its own role as creator of the
de facto standard for image protection toward a new standard for global image recognition and promotion.
