=======================

New version of PicsaStock App allows users to easily refine their search for stock images using colour search feature.

Berlin, 14 March 2014. PicsaStock – the growing platform for buying, selling and distributing photographs – has released an updated version of its IOS App incorporating a state-of-the-art colour search tool. The new feature allows users the ability to hone their search using colour preferences, and can also be used to select images in combination with photo tags. 

PicsaStock's unique technology analyzes each picture and extracts specific colour information, including details of hue and the degree of each colour in a photo. With the ability to use the colour search in conjunction with keyword criteria, customers are able to discover extensive images collections.

“The development of a colour search feature like this is revolutionary. It allows for effective search capabilities based on both the client's colour and subject requirements, ” says Andre Lutter, Founder and CEO of PicsaStock. “The beauty is that you never know what you might find.”

This feature also gives buyers the capacity to apply colour search parameters and locate images, even when they are not tagged. It ensures all customers – photographers, freelancers, artists, advertisers and editors alike – are able to find the right image to fulfill their requirements, or uncover something entirely new. PicsaStock will also shortly launch its similarity search, which recognizes structures within a picture.

“It’s an exciting advancement for the way users can discover photos,” says Mr Lutter.

PicsaStock is a leading edge App that lets customers upload and sell their photos straight from their smartphone or Instagram account. PicsaStock GmbH was founded in February 2013 and aims to revolutionize the microstock market with the highest quality of authentic and current images. In October 2013, PicsaStock was awarded the “Adyen Tech Innovation Award” at TechCrunch Disrupt Europe for the most visionary and innovative technological business model. It allows photographers to upload images through their iPhone, Instagram, 500px, Flickr, Dropbox etc., and sell them to customers around the world. PicsaStock is quickly becoming one of the world’s largest royalty free stock photography databases for authentic photos.

PicsaStock is now available at the App Store: www.itunes.apple.com (http://www.itunes.apple.com).
