As another part of the comprehensive Internet Component Engine (ICE) ADT provides a image library application which can be used as an add-on component to other ICE applications such as the Content Management System (CMS), or as a stand alone image library system.

The ADT image library can be used for simple applications such as adding a “Photo Gallery” to a site, right through to providing a comprehensive image library store for photographers, model agencies or stock image libraries.

The ICE: Image Library is powerful yet simple to use. The system features the same simple online interface as the rest of the ICE components with step by step wizards walking through the process of uploading and organising your images.

ICE: Image Library Feature Set:

• Upload unlimited Images to the library
• Automatically resizes images based on intelligent scaling to site templates
• Automatically creates thumbnail images for management and search views
• Supports multiple image resolutions
• Supports automatic watermarking using either text or image overlays
• Allow images to be added to unlimited categories
• Full search facilities on image title, description, keywords, author or media type
• Checking file sizes before upload and applying limits
• Showing file upload progress bar
• Special support for Mac Binary compatibility

The ICE: Image Library also supports a number of methods to view images based on customisable templates. Default views include:

• Matrix of thumbnails which are clicked to view the image or image set
• Slide show of images with next and back links
• Single Large image which is replaced when alternative thumbnail is clicked.

ICE: Image Library can also be linked to ICE: Ecommerce to provide a complete online image library with online ordering electronic payments.
