A method and system for distributed digital, particularly graphic arts images, content trading over the Internet and other communication means. The system comprises image publishers, each equipped with a web server, an image repository, a publishing module and a first image enhancement module; and a system service center, equipped with a web server, an image attributes database, a search module, a second image enhancement module, a billing module and a coordination and control module. Image publishers, interested in selling rights in their proprietary high-resolution images, publish in the service's web-site thumbnails representing those images. An image buyer, browsing and 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, owning the selected images. The buyer got 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 including generic and precise simulations. When satisfied, the buyer gets into a price and payment negotiation with the publisher, and subsequently pays via the service's billing module. On conclusion of the transaction the image buyer acquires, by Internet, CD or transparency, the high-resolution image file directly from the supplier's repository, whereas the high-resolution files were automatically rendered by the enhancement unit ready for print, following the parameters set previously by the image buyer.
