“We are excited to be working with Idée and using PixID, their image tracking service. PixID’s image identification technology is truly incredible. We provide a list of publications and editorial websites to track and PixID shows us daily where our EPA images have appeared. The image matching accuracy of PixID is astounding - you have to see the reports to believe them! This will streamline our operational billing and increase revenues, as we can now account for all our licensed image usage.”—Rick Wysocki, Director, NA Sales & Marketing, European Pressphoto Agency.
In Addition to searching for infringements, PixID replaces clients’ existing in-house manual processes for billing publishers. This process involved looking at each page of a publication for editorial photo credits.
