PRESENTS
Get Your DAM Stuff Together!
A Workshop with Peter Krogh on Digital Asset Management
Peter Krogh presents an integrated Digital Asset Management workflow, based on the principles of The DAM Book, Digital Asset Management for Photographers (O'Reilly, 2005). The program is split into two parts: a Friday evening lecture to a large group, followed by an all-day Saturday workshop for no more than 20 people.
Friday Evening Seminar
The evening program is a lecture-format presentation of the principles of digital asset management. This session can be taken as a stand-alone presentation. Peter outlines how you can:
- Create and use metadata
- Setup naming conventions
- Configure and implement affordable hardware solutions
- Adjust your images efficiently
- Use cataloging software to organize and proof your images
- Make Adobe Bridge and iView MediaPro work together to streamline your image processing work.
Due to the volume of material covered, the seminar offers a very limited opportunity to ask questions about the presentation.
All-day Saturday Workshop
Held the following day, the Saturday Workshop has limited seating. The evening seminar is a prerequisite and is included in the registration fee. For details, see the ASMP Workshop page.
Preparation for the Workshop
Attendees should bring a laptop computer with the following software loaded.
Adobe Bridge (part of Photoshop CS2). If you have not installed CS2, you can find a time-limited demo version at
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/. If you do have Bridge, check your version to make sure you are running the current one (1.0.4). If it's not, please obtain the updater package for Windows or for Macintosh. Adobe Camera Raw/DNG converter. The current version is 3.4. (Open the Camera Raw Preferences and check the title bar to see what version you currently have.) If you need to update Camera Raw, or need the DNG converter, you can download the Macintosh version or the Windows version. iView MediaPro 3.1. If you already have iView MediaPro 3, make sure you are on 3.1.1, which is a free upgrade. If you have a version prior to 3.0, you can use the Upgrade as a free trial for 21 days. If you do not have the software at all, you can get a free 21-day trial. Download them from http://www.iview-multimedia.com/downloads/.
Not sure if you have the right stuff? View this QuickTime movie that shows you each step in the setup process. (It's a big file, 64 megs, so allow some time for the download.)
Please also bring some RAW images to work with. You won't need very many, just enough to bring through a sample workflow. If you have been working with iView, and have one or more catalogs, feel free to bring those along also.
Also recommended: the instructor's book, The DAM Book. You might find that you have a good head start on the concepts presented by reading the book. Here's a sample chapter. And here's an article on a related topic, using DNG in camera-raw workflows. Feel free to post questions on theDAMbook Forum.
