NEW YORK and BERLIN, December 1, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- In the wake of Deutsche Telekom's decision to shutdown their online microstock photo agency Polylooks, Europe's leading microstock agency Fotolia is offering clients of Polylooks a way to seamlessly transition their accounts. From December 1st to 15th, all active clients of Polylooks can convert their accounts, including all credits, into a Fotolia account. This partnership agreement was made in consideration of Polylooks' decision to discontinue their services as of December 31st, 2010.

Commencing January 1st, 2011, visitors of the Polylooks website will be redirected to Fotolia.com. Image buyers have the opportunity to switch their accounts in a smooth and straightforward fashion from Polylooks to Fotolia, to transfer their credits without any loss or charge, and to continue image buying without interruption. As clients of Fotolia, they will be able to access over 11 million royalty free photos, vectors and videos.

"We want our clients to enjoy the best possible continuity and quality when buying images - even after we discontinue our service. That is why we're recommending Fotolia", says Norbert Weber, head of Polylooks.

"We are very excited to offer this to the Polylooks community" adds Oleg Tscheltzoff, CEO, Fotolia LLC.
