Abstract
Systems and methods for distributing imaging information using network-based imaging techniques are disclosed. A system may comprise a server and a computing device coupled to each other via a network. In some embodiments, a network-coupled imaging-destination service operative on the server offers a mechanism for controllably distributing images of documents and/or photographs. A method for distributing imaging information, can be summarized by the following steps: receiving a communication from a client, the communication including an image composition and distribution instructions, identifying the location of the component images comprising the image composition, and distributing the component images of the composition in accordance with the distribution instructions.
