Getty Images has introduced a plugin for Adobe Photoshop. It’s called Livecomp and allows designers to import content from the Getty Images website directly into Photoshop.

PRESS RELEASE

WHAT: Getty Images, Inc. today announces the upcoming release of its LiveComp plug-in for Adobe Photoshop that will enable designers and creatives to search and import creative content from Getty Images at gettyimages.com directly into Photoshop.

Rather than having to leave the application, locate and download an image from the Getty Images site and then upload into Photoshop, LiveComp will allow users to import the file for comping purposes as a new layer in Photoshop for streamlined simplified workflow.

Other features of LiveComp include:

WHY: Getty Images designed LiveComp following customer research, where nearly half of those surveyed stated that they currently license large volumes of stock imagery and online digital content up to 50 times a year. The plug-in’s innovative technology and functionality enabled Getty Images to devise a mechanism that simplifies workflow and enhances how customers are currently accessing and utilizing imagery.

WHEN: LiveComp will be available for download on September 20 at www.gettyimages.co.uk/livecomp
