And more key features:

• Real-time repurposing of images & video: you need to store only the high-res versions of your images and videos. Asset Bank will create resized and formatted versions at the time of download, according to the predefined sizes you have set up, and users can crop images if they need to be an exact size. This is invaluable for users who don't know about pixel sizes and formats, and ensures that everyone uses the right sized image for the job.
• Easy upload of files to the asset library. Users can add files to the image library using their browser, individually or in bulk - when adding a batch of files, metadata can be added to all of them at once. Asset Bank can also watch one or more directories and automatically ingest any files that are placed there.
• Secure image library with easy, flexible control of access. You can decide which images can be seen by each user group and specify their rights and permission levels. For example, you can assign logins for access and allow certain users to upload new assets, which can be checked before they are made available in the image library.
• Customisable approval workflows (document workflow) for uploading and downloading assets, ensuring strict quality control of assets across your organisation.
• No ongoing licence fees; once you've bought Asset Bank digital image software it's all yours.
• Multiple and shared lightboxes users can use one or more as their lightboxes ('shopping baskets') which can then be shared with others for online project collaboration.
• Customisable reports on how people are using your assets, giving you the information you need to continually monitor and improve your image bank.
• IPTC, EXIF or XMP data: embedded in an image can be extracted on upload and used to populate Asset Bank's attribute fields - ensuring you make the most of data you have added using Photoshop, Adobe Bridge or other image software. The data can be written back into images when they are downloaded.
• Audit logging: full audit logging and audit reports, so you can track what your users are doing in the image library: uploads, edits, deletions, views, downloads and searches.
• Version control: you can upload new versions of files, track changes to the asset records, and view the version history of assets.
• User reviews: users can add reviews, rate assets and search by average rating.
• Asset types & relationships: enables you to set up different groups of metadata fields for different types of asset (as many as you need) and to define complex relationships between asset records.
• Watermarks can be added to images that users see when browsing to prevent unauthorised use and protect copyrights
• LDAP Integration: if your company uses a LDAP server, for example Windows Active Directory, Asset Bank video library software and photo library software allows users to use their existing username and password to log into the Asset Bank
