i think all agree, that ID need a something specific ability, that he can sell for customers. there are no any ID service for permanent sale like any type of bufs. stat migration or view chagne - is not every day needed thing. i think that skill 'photography' will be excellent addon for this proffesion. screenshots saved on player side is a good, but most people will like to place part of it ingame. ingame art gallery - another aspect of this. or something hunters, will like toput onwall, the art with died cryte dragon and self onit 
for making a photos, using a digital camera with limited charges, it can be crafted by IDs only. photo resolution can divided by skill level. basic resolution (table photos) may be allowed for all players by using a camera, but most quality (wall art) will need a ID's with camera in hand.

Image Design in my opinion already has a specific ability. The ability to make people beautiful. Tailors do that too in a way, but still I feel the Image Design profession qualifies as something completely different from other professions. Personally, I don't feel the need for any extra functions. I'd be thrilled if we got more artwork, to enhance our current functions, although I don't see that happening any time soon.
Furthermore, if you say that stat migrations or makeovers are something you don't need every day, then my reply would be: do you need to have your picture taken every day? Incidentally, there are people that do want a stat migration or makeover every day, but that's besides the point really.
It has been made clear on previous occasions that the devs do not intend to change Image Designer into a crafter profession and I agree with them - it'll just be a lot of hassle and for what? I don't care much for trailing after a lot of fighters into some cave or other just to wait until they've finished off the bad guys until I can make a snapshot.
Table top photographs and paintings on the wall that are customizable will undoubtedly cost a lot of resources from the server and somehow I doubt that the devs would be happy with that. Sorry but I don't see this idea working out.

hmm.. realy strange. just i looked from my point of view: i use ID only once, for migrate all_to_mind - one usefull stat standings. i never use view change, bicouse nobody cant make char buty for me except me one i create view at start, and dont need to change it. ID's camp most part of time is empty. only grinders appear time time (i playing on farstar). about wall painting - sorry, my eng not good.'wall paintings'mean usual 'picture in square framework'- no any graphity or something else this service - only one, for what as player - i ready to pay day to day.and that can be applyed for this proffesion... but, if prof.owners dont like this, lets all stay at now

I'm glad that you are happy with the way your character looks. Other players do however like to change their appearance from time to time, and their stats too.
Your English is good enough for me to understand what you mean, when you talk about the wall painting. That is, I take it to believe that you would like screenshots to appear in the game with a frame around them so you can hang them on the wall of your house. This will require a lot from the server, it'll mean a load of new unique items, that all need to be stored on the server. The devs will not be very pleased with that.
