LONDON, May 19, 2010 - With the launch of Microsoft Office 2010, Fotolia's first-to-market image
add-in for Microsoft Word 2010 and Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 officially goes
global. Now available in 10 languages and 12 countries and regions, Fotolia
has massively increased the multimedia functionality of the first microstock
plug-in, with HD videos and subscription images available for download
through Fotolia's free ribbon. Over 100,000 contributing artists to Fotolia
have over eight-million images directly available to buyers in a previously
untapped market.

Fotolia was the first microstock company to integrate images into
Microsoft Office through a customized ribbon. Originally debuting in October
2009
, nearly 75,000 people have downloaded the free plug-in from
www.fotolia.com/ribbon. The result is a product that increases
productivity and allows users to quickly make their documents more attractive
and effective.

Fotolia is excited to be the first microstock company to integrate
royalty-free images into the world's leading desktop applications. Artists
from all across the world are now introduced to a whole new customer base. To
support that initiative, the ribbon is available in all 12 regions and 10
languages that Fotolia has presence. With instant access to 15 free images a
day, everyone from students to executives will find the Fotolia ribbon to be
a useful addition to Microsoft Word and PowerPoint.

After downloading the free ribbon from www.fotolia.com/ribbon,
users can browse search results alongside their documents, along with custom
galleries, downloaded image libraries, and a selection of free daily images.
The ribbon is easy to navigate with login, lightbox, and download tabs. The
revamped plug-in supports 10 languages, subscription downloads, and is
compatible with Microsoft Office 2007. To get started, users create a free
