Product Description

Product Description
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Slightly misleading title, 30 May 2006
By M. Albrecht (Finland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a book about a very important issue where many photographers have a lot to improve. And there isn't much available on the topic. But the title is slightly misleading. It should actualy be: Peter Krogh proudly presents his DAM system. There is a lot of valuable stuff here, but it is too much focused on the specific needs of the author. I missed a broader view of the topic with more alternative approaches analyzed. And there's a lot of basic stuff about computers. If you know computer technology, then you can skip a significant part of this book right away. But the computer stuff is well written and explained in an easy way. It probaly serves less computer literate readers well.

Overall an interesting and fairly inexpensive book about an important topic. But as explained above, it could be even better.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great book!, 2 Feb 2006
By Olaf Willoughby (purley, surrey United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I bought this to learn how to integrate CS2 and iView Media Pro and ended up learning so much more. Peter's writing style is concise and clear, the diagrams are very helpful and it is all underpinned by solid concepts. Targeted at knowledgeable amateurs and professionals this is a quality piece of work! Thanks Peter.
