Photography/Imaging (& Graphic Arts)
German term or phrase: anfordern/abfordern
Produktbilder werden meist in vorher bekannten Bildformaten (definiert durch die jeweilige Web-Seite) angefordert.
Diese Bildformate werden initial im Image Archive angelegt, da sie mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit auch tatsächlich abgefordert werden und somit nicht erst zur Laufzeit berechnet werden müssen.

Thanks for the help.
