Pixamba, the leader in software for the microstock and stock photography market has released ProStockMaster, the award-wining microstock tool for stock photographers, as freeware.
ProStockMaster is a free desktop software application that helps photographers to sell images online through multiple stock photography agencies. ProStockMaster is available for Mac Os X and Windows (7, Vista, XP, 2000, Me, 2003).
This free software application helps stock photo photographers to sell more images quickly as it automates the tedious tasks of keywording, managing and uploading photos and traditional royalty free and rights managed images to stock agencies. With ProStockMaster contributing stock photographers can spend more time doing what they love – shooting pictures.
ProStockMaster free microstock software helps stock photographers to easily sell photos online through the following leading microstock photo agencies:

The free microstock software offers the following features:
* Simultaneous Upload of Stock Photos to Multiple Microstock agencies. Contributing stock photogarphers can post stock images and entire folders to multiple stock photography agencies just in one click!
* Automated IPTC Keywording of stock photos. ProStockMaster microstock software suggests additional relevant keywords that can be used for the description of a stock photograph or illustration. The software supports built-in translation from more than 40 languages, helping stock contributors to describe their stock images in their native language.
* Stock Photography Earnings Statistics. With ProStockMaster stock photo takers can now review their sales and download statistics for their stock images portfolio in all supported microstock agencies at the same time.
* Stock Images Metadata Simplicity. ProStockMaster free software for a microstock photographer makes it easy to find images on photographer’s computer. The software keeps all the stock images indexed with IPTC metadata and supports a built-in fast search mechanism, helping photographers to find their images by keywords, titles or descriptions. For some microstock agencies, this free microstock application keeps track of per-image stats and earnings. ProStockMaster users can easily copy IPTC metadata between similar images, which significantly reduces the preparation time for series of stock photos taken at the same photo session, at the same location or with the same model. ProStockMaster allows stock photographers to batch-process their photographic metadata preparing their stock images for microstocks sales.
* Standards Compliance: Full support for IPTC, Adobe XMP and EXIF meta-data standards.
* Photo Data Review. ProStockMaster free software monitors stock imagery EXIF data inserted into any digital picture, including: aperture, shutter speed, program mode, ISO, flash mode, post-processing software and more.
David Mail, CEO of Pixamba, said: “We are proud to release ProStockMaster as free software, allowing the global community of contributing microstock photographers to easily upload stock images, selling stock photos and illustrations through top microstock agencies. For four years our microstock software has helped tens thousands of stock photographers to save time and money selling photos online. We keep working on this proven free microstock tool, bringing even more highly demanded keywording, management and stock imagery distribution functionality soon.”

    It’s not free at all. You have to buy a subscription, which starts at $10 per month, or the software won’t run.
