20,000 more images, 2 new Memberships and an updated www.ablestock.com

Hull, Quebec - June 13, 2003 - Hemera®, a world-leading provider of wholly owned, royalty-free digital image content, today announced the launch of AbleStock.com 3.0, now with more choice and over 20,000 new images. With the expansion of AbleStock's Membership model, designers will be able to get exactly what they need in royalty-free images, for maximum creative freedom and efficiency.

AbleStock.com 3.0 offers thousands of professional stock photos and Photo-Objects™ images through single image purchase or Membership (subscription). Members pay once for unlimited image downloads in three file sizes, for six months or one year; they can now opt for a Stock Photo Membership, a Photo-Objects Images Membership, or both at a substantial discount. An AbleStock Membership delivers flexibility for individual needs, and is an essential, reliable design tool for creative professionals who use a variety of images on a daily basis. All images are available in 1.5MB, 10MB and 25-28MB.

"With our AbleStock products, we are delivering the images our customers need, and they choose the way they like to work," said Kim Dixon, President and CEO of Hemera Technologies Inc. "We also refresh the collection with new content on a monthly basis, consistently adding value to each Membership."

Members can access thousands of AbleStock images (or the entire collection) for the price of a few single images or image CDs. The Stock Photo Membership is available for $399 (six months) or $699 (one year), with a renewal price of $333 and $599 respectively. The Photo-Objects Images Membership is $249 (six months) and $399 (one year), with a renewal price of $209 and $333 respectively.
