Save Time and Effort in Image Licensing with Shutterstock Photoshop Plugin
The main advantage in this new, custom built plugin for Photoshop is that it lets you save the time and hassle of searching, licensing and downloading stock images to then import them into Photoshop to further work in them.
Shutterstock Plugin integrates the agency's library of 95 million+ images –stock photos and illustrations– into Photoshop, and enables you to search, license and apply images to your Photoshop work board in a few simple mouse clicks. But the benefits do not end up there.
The new solution also integrates Shutterstock's latest advances in search technology: computer vision applied to image recognition. This allows the system to provide more accurate and comprehensive search results, as well as to suggest relevant similar content and elaborate valuable curation.
With the new plugin for Photoshop you can:
- Access over 95 million stock photos and illustrations
- Find images using Shutterstock's intelligent search technology
- Edit any watermarked image for free, with the changes saved and reapplied if and when you license the image
- Get direct access to existent Shutterstock accounts, including Premier accounts
- View existing lightboxes and access history of previously licensed images
- Get inspired by curated collections based on color palettes, emotions and utilities
All this, right within Photoshop Creative Cloud application.
At this time, the Shutterstock Plugin for Photoshop is available in English for Mac and Windows, and works with Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 and 2015. New versions will be available at some point, and you can sign up to be notified of updates and releases.
Our Thoughts on the new Shutterstock Plugin for Photoshop
If you work with Creative Cloud and Photoshop, the new Shutterstock Plugin can simplify your workflow, and you can save time and effort in getting the right stock images for your designs.
And Adobe itself has a very similar service: Adobe Stock, which seamlessly integrates stock images and videos from Fotolia agency into all Creative Cloud applications, and has its own price points.
Both services are great options to boost up your production speed and make your creative process easier.
