A system for distributed digital images. The system comprises image publishers, image buyers, and a system service center. Image publishers, interested in selling rights in high-resolution images, publish thumbnails representing those images in the service's web-site. The image buyer, searching the service web site for images of particular attributes, selects those thumbnails meeting her/his requirements, and gets from the service a temporary direct communication link to the image repository of the image publisher. The buyer gets the option to remotely review, enhance and embed, in a page layout, the low-resolution representation of the selected thumbnails, and quality check parts of the high-resolution images. The buyer negotiates a price with the image publisher, and pays via the service's billing module. On conclusion the buyer acquires the high-resolution image file directly from the publisher's repository.

A color control system for maintaining the color of a printed page of a printing press constant, within the context of the human perceptual color space system optimizes the settings of a plurality of ink keys in a printing press in accordance with a test image and a reference image. The test and reference images comprise a plurality of ink key zones corresponding to the plurality of ink keys, each ink key zone including a plurality of regions of interest (ROIs). The system includes a unit for imaging an area of the printed page in generating the reference and test images, a unit for extracting color information based on actual image colors from the test image, a unit for measuring color deviations with reference to the reference image, and a unit for analyzing and comparing global features of regions of interest (ROIs) that cover substantially the color gamut of the test image against like features of the reference image. The analysis and comparison is based on a plurality of ROIs, all located within the same ink key zone, and the analysis and comparing unit operates to generate a set of CMYK changes to be applied to the plurality of ink keys. The system also includes a unit for applying the set of CMYK changes to the plurality of ink keys.
