»As Visual Experts, we have many years of experience in traditional picture editing, picture agency business and digital data processing.
We have been relying on picturemaxx Agency for years to allow us to save time and work efficiently. We use the back office area to manage our own image data and for general administration. We use my-picturemaxx for external picture editing for publishing houses and other companies that use media.
We have been very pleased with picturemaxx’s support and service for many years now. Our queries and requests are dealt quickly and competently and we feel that we are in good hands.«

Alice Rauch-Wendlinger, Owner Visual Experts – Interfoto

»The Ostkreuzschule für Fotografie is one of the few institutions that trains photo editors. In addition to working on various projects, researching suitable photographic material is an important part of the two-semester course. Of course, we also introduce the common ‘tools of the trade’, such as the my-picturemaxx program. Knowledge of this is a requirement in many editorial departments.
picturemaxx provides free software licenses for the course and provides introductory guides. In this way, we can make our training of picture editors very practical, and picturemaxx makes a contribution to developing well-qualified young talent in the industry.«

Nadja Masri, Lecturer and Freelance Picture Editor at Ostkreuzschule für Fotografie

»Efficiency is essential for picture editors when researching images as part of their day-to-day work. picturemaxx has developed a tool that meets this need perfectly.
Being able to search across multiple agencies simultaneously and download images quickly saves us a great deal of time, which is a major advantage. The series feature is also extremely helpful for our work.«

»Image buyers are shown what all the picture agencies have to offer in the same layout in my-picturemaxx. All providers are presented on an equal footing. This is not only an advantage for users, who can concentrate completely on the images, but also for the image providers.

In view of its efficiency and reach, the media network is a very important addition to our own websites.«

»At a large educational publisher like Cornelsen Verlag GmbH, smooth collaboration and efficient information sharing are essential. For example, we use the my-picturemaxx ‘Share Lightboxes’ feature for this. It allows our editorial teams to work very efficiently with the licensing department.
Another important aspect is that through my-picturemaxx the portfolios of several providers can be searched at the same time. This enables our editors to compare media assets directly. The editorial team can choose the ‘best’ asset.«
