Abstract
A server analyzes a received digital image to determine and store one or more first image attributes. The image is transmitted to at least one recipient and pertinent information is recorded, including one or more image attributes and the one or more first image recipients. A second image is received and analyzed in a similar fashion as the first. Second image communication information is generated that is relevant to the second image based on a comparison with the first image communication information and the one or more first image attributes.
