A New Image Format That Puts The Standalone Jpeg To Shame

LONDON - July 27, 2018 - PRLog -- SmartFrame is proud to announce our latest developments

SmartFrame has worked together with other tech companies and industry bodies (DMLA, Sodatech and Digimarc) to deliver a first of its kind solution that can be seen today at panoramicimages.com. SmartFrame's secure, embeddable, trackable and interactive digital image format combines with these other technologies to effectively protect and deter unauthorised use of intellectual property.

At SmartFrame Technologies Limited, our mission is to "Redefine the digital image standard" with something pixel perfect, interactive and trackable. We consider the jpeg an outmoded form of sharing and showcasing your image content. Why give someone your image assets when you can easily share and control your content instead?

Here is how we try to be different:

A SmartFrame is...

➔    Secure, encrypted and hard for web-crawlers and right-clickers to grab

➔    Easily shareable and embeddable, offering continuous control of your image content

➔    Customisable, for in-image advertising, including one-click path to purchase power

➔    Trackable, ensuring you grab as much user behaviour data as possible

➔    Interactive, enhancing the image viewing experience with unobtrusive notifications, call to actions and targeted campaigns

➔    Beautiful, all images are inherently rendered for optimal pixel-perfect display

Our client base is rapidly growing, in addition to our most recent adoptee - award winning fine art photographer David Yarrow - we are currently in further negotiations with a number of global brands and businesses.

In reaction to these latest developments, our CEO Rob Sewell, has commented:

"We've spent the last 12 months working in relative stealth mode solely focused on fully building out our unique product, with our "Monetizer" features front of mind – these commercial features directly help brands and business to market, promote and ultimately sell their products and services in a new and improved way. It's a bold mission statement but I have no doubt that, over time, we will be globally known for "redefining the digital image standard" in the same way that the JPEG did way back in 1992."

About David Yarrow:

Award winning fine art photographer David Yarrow, recently adopted the SmartFrame technology. David exhibits his work with over 20 leading galleries worldwide and his iconic black and white photographic prints sell regularly for upwards of £40,000. In 2017 alone sales of David's work raised over £1m for charitable causes. His most coveted piece of work, "Mankind" (featured in the SmartFrame above), was the highest bid for lot at the 2017 Sotheby's photography auction and sold for an impressive £60,000. Given the value of David's images, a key issue for him was being able to protect his images online, whilst still being able to display them in the best possible quality to give them the attention they deserve. These issues led David to SmartFrame and now all of the images on his website are in the process of being converted to this format. David is also using SmartFrame's technology to distribute his images to the various galleries that he will be exhibiting with in the future, to ensure consistent quality and world-class presentation, whilst also being able to track the engagement and viewing metrics of each image across all gallery websites.
