Dreamstime.com, global photo community and stock photography provider, has introduced Stock Rank: a new photo-review tool to enable members to test their photo IQ in comparing and ranking images.
The new interactive tool pairs two images on the screen and challenges the contestant to select the best photo — the photo most worthy of purchase or download — based on concept, subject, aesthetics, lighting, composition, etc. This feature was initially established as a quality assurance system utilized primarily by the agency’s editors as part of their training to review the commercial aspects of stock submissions.
As the member becomes an active participant, utilizing the feature and making accurate, consecutive selections, he or she will progress in a ranking system. As each member graduates from phase to phase, the images displayed on Stock Rank, and the comparison, will become more difficult validating the member’s ability to detect the most purchase-able image.
The DT players’ “tally” (or ranking) over the course of each phase will be posted on the community page to allow all members to monitor their success rate.
