As a part of their greater plan to redirect their own increasing traffic to the benefit of their users, Fotomoto has unveiled Collections, culling together the best work from its members into groups of featured images. Valentine’s Day is the theme for the first collection, featuring 67 handpicked images. Taken as a whole, the collection looks like what you might find searching a stock photo site; pretty impressive stuff. Fotomoto promises more collections to come.
More promising still, Fotomoto has announced that digital image download services will go live within the next few weeks, allowing photographers to sell and distribute their work digitally. A lot of users have asked for this feature, and it’s fantastic to see it finally in the pipeline. This is very exciting stuff!
See the Fotomoto blog for the source of these announcements, and get your Fotomoto on in Lightroom using TTG Highslide Gallery Pro.

Hi Matt – I know that you’re spending time on work other than ttg pages at the moment, but I’ve just seen today that fotomoto have released this digital download service. Do you have any plans to incorporate this into a future release of ttg pages?

Fotomoto have expressed to me their interest in having their service continuing to be supported by TTG Lightroom plugins, and we are currently in discussions as to how to best accomplish that. They’re revising their API to accommodate my needs, and I’m revising my implementation in accordance with the new API.
My first priority is in releasing TTG Highslide Gallery Pro 2.0, which will bring many changes to the engine. One of those changes will be support for Fotomoto’s new API, including downloadable image selling.
Beyond that, I plan to release additional web engines with Fotomoto support, though I have not made final decisions on which engines they will be. I can say, though, that I see Fotomoto fitting better into individual image gallery engines, and not so well into TTG Pages, which is relatively light on image content.
Thanks Matt – sorry – realised after I’d posted that it is the highslide pro update which will affect my website. I’m using highslide within pages. So that’s great news. Cheers.
