Comments on: Latest Feature Developments with Imagekind http://blog.imagekind.com/2007/02/01/latest-feature-developments-with-imagekind/ A Blog for the Imagekind Art Community Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:27:43 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Blue http://blog.imagekind.com/2007/02/01/latest-feature-developments-with-imagekind/comment-page-1/#comment-528 Blue Mon, 12 Feb 2007 07:14:12 +0000 http://www.imagekindforum.com/2007/02/01/latest-feature-developments-with-imagekind/#comment-528 I agree with Sarah that Walter's idea may not be secure for us. Let's keep this place for selling prints. Now what I would like to see: Prints on perspex Prints on aluminium [how about some real top-end product options for our artwork ImageKind?] Multiple upload option, better still, an FTP upload option, maybe a widget, or an extension for iPhoto, Aperture or Lightrom to export direct to ImageKind. The option to delete comments would be nice [mine have been allright, but I know some would like this, for their own comments too] Customisable shop front templates for Pro / Platinum members A blog page for each Pro / Platinum member [how about giving us a bit more bang for our buck?] All in all, I love ImageKind, and I wouldn't change much, but I would add more.

All in all, I love ImageKind, and I wouldn’t change much, but I would add more.

I'm sure you've all seen so many very beautiful ones. I'm not sure if it would take away from sales, but enhance them. Meaning, say I have a screen saver at home, and then I think, "Gee, I'd like to have this in my office on the wall". OR!! "Maybe, some works could be screensavers and some could be prints. Well... it's a thought anyway. :) The point is, people pay for screensavers. So if someone didn't have, say $50.00 for a print, but a few thousand had, I don't know... 1.95 (or whatever the going rate would be) for a downloadable screensaver, you'd get a different audience and more exposure. You never know. Of course, to each their own. Most screen savers, and I’m not sure of how to make one, are very crisp and clear and work “with” the image.

(1) screen saver resolution would make the image look worse, so they might be afraid to buy the print, and (2) If they can get it electronically and print it themselves, the print quality might not be very good but it would still have our name on it. My own feeling is that they can take all the time they want to look at it on Imagekind, and decide whether they like it or not.
