Transtock(R) Unveils New Licensing Model on its Overhauled Website

CULVER CITY, Calif.--May 1, 2006--Transtock, Inc., a stock photography agency specializing in automotive and transportation images, announced today that it has transformed its website into a much more user-friendly platform for licensing the world's finest automotive and transportation images.

"This is the result of taking our customers' needs to heart, and acting upon their recommendations," said Dean Siracusa, president of Transtock. "We are maintaining our focus on providing the highest quality images and protecting the interests of our contributors so our library will remain Rights-Managed, but with a unique twist: a significant portion of our images will now be priced by file size at prices similar to Royalty-Free stock imagery. Transtock, its contributors, and its clients are getting the best of both worlds: offering images at a variety of competitive prices based on size while maintaining relatively basic usage restrictions on these images." Clients will also have the option to license these images on an exclusive basis -- something that is not possible with a Royalty-Free structure.

In addition to the new price structure, visitors to Transtock's new site will experience the following significant improvements: automated licensing, payment, and downloading, improved internal search, bigger thumbnails, bigger previews, and a refreshing aesthetic makeover.
