O'Reilly:
296 pages
DAM, or Digital Asset Management, in the world of digital photography refers to
every part of the process that follows the taking of the picture, through final
output and permanent storage. Anyone who shoots, scans or stores digital photographs,
is practicing some form of digital asset management. Unfortunately, most of us don't
yet know how to manage our files (and our time) very systematically, or efficiently.Can you find your digital photographs when you need them, or do you spend more time rifling
through your hard drive and file cabinets than you'd like? Do you have a system for assigning
and tracking content data on your photos? If you make a living as a photographer, do your
images bear your copyright and contact information, or do they circulate in the
marketplace unprotected? As professional photographer and author Peter Krogh sees it, "your DAM system is fundamental
to the way your images are known, both to you and to everyone else." DAM, or Digital Asset
Management, in the world of digital photography refers to every part of the process that follows
the taking of the picture, through final output and permanent storage. Anyone who shoots, scans
or stores digital photographs, is practicing some form of digital asset management. Unfortunately,
most of us don't yet know how to manage our files (and our time) very systematically, or efficiently. In The DAM Book: Digital Asset Management for Photographers, Krogh brings clarity to the
often overwhelming task of managing digital photographs, with a solid plan and practical
advice for fellow photographers on how to file, find, protect and re-use photographs.
Following a thorough overview of the DAM system and de-mystifications of metadata and
digital archiving, Krogh focuses on best practices for digital photographers using Adobe
Photoshop CS2. He explains how to use Adobe Bridge, the new CS2 navigational software
that replaces the File Browser introduced in Photoshop 7, with full details on integrating
Bridge, Camera Raw and Digital Asset Management software. Compellingly presented in four-color format, The DAM Book: Digital Asset Management for
Photographers brings Krogh's award-winning creative approach to a subject that could have
been technically intimidating. Instead, Krogh's twenty years of experience and instructive
visual storytelling make this material not only accessible, but compulsory reading
for serious digital photographers.
