Matt Rees, a Senior Consultant at InfoTrends, comments, "The growth in this segment is unquestionable. Our data is showing that PSPs are eyeing photo as one of their top new applications. In just one year, we also saw an 18% increase in the number of pros that told us they were offering creative photo products to their customer base.
