Fotoware integrates Imagga for AI auto-tagging and cropping

Via its award-winning deep learning technology, Imagga suggests intelligent keywords by automatically analyzing the content of images.  With one click, Fotoware's users can easily add relevant keywords to their photos and other visuals. Processing happens behind the scenes on the Fotoware Color Factory server and the resulting keywords are immediately available to users of FotoWeb and FotoStation. 

Imagga empowers Fotoware users with one of the most comprehensive keyword libraries with over 23,000 keywords. Auto tagging can be at an object level - identifying what is in the image - as well as at a conceptual level - such as love, happiness, etc. 

This partnership also enables the possibility to highlight content in an image using content aware automatic image crop. By analyzing the objects in the image using Imagga Smart Cropping, Color Factory will automatically suggest a crop around the main subject of your image, regardless of its position, using your preferred aspect ratio. The crop can be applied directly to the file or stored as a soft crop in the metadata.

It is estimated that as much as 10% of images in a collection become unsearchable because of no or poor keywording, making them impossible to retrieve. With Imagga’s intelligent keyword suggestions integration, Fotoware dramatically reduces this issue. Fotoware users can considerably reduce the time it takes to tag photos, and their collections become more complete with additional searchable information.

The integration is currently available in Fotoware’s Color Factory workflow automation server. More information is available on www.fotoware.com.
