Product Description
One of the main concerns for digital photographers today is asset management: how to file, find, protect, and re-use their photos. The best solutions can be found in The DAM Book, our bestselling guide to managing digital images efficiently and effectively.
Anyone who shoots, scans, or stores digital photographs is practicing digital asset management (DAM), but few people do it in a way that makes sense. In this second edition, photographer Peter Krogh -- the leading expert on DAM -- provides new tools and techniques to help professionals, amateurs, and students: - Understand the image file lifecycle: from shooting to editing, output, and permanent storage
- Learn new ways to use metadata and key words to track photo files
- Create a digital archive and name files clearly
- Determine a strategy for backing up and validating image data
- Learn a catalog workflow strategy, using Adobe Bridge, Camera Raw, Adobe Lightroom, Microsoft Expression Media, and Photoshop CS4 together
- Migrate images from one file format to another, from one storage medium to another, and from film to digital
- Learn how to copyright images
To identify and protect your images in the marketplace, having a solid asset management system is essential. The DAM Book offers the best approach.

How to do it the RIGHT way June 15, 2010
Florida Reader (Florida)
This is an incredible "guide book". it will change the way you archive your images. This book has lain out the path for better, safer storage of my images and with the key-wording, an easier way to find select images when I need them.Excellent, well written book, with sound advice. Good for the professional and for the hobbyist photographer. Give this method a try, you will never look back.
 Great book. May 11, 2010
Matthew B. Collum (Oregon)
I can see why this book is so highly recommended. Great insight and specific details for archiving digital files. I am just beginning to utilize some of his suggestions. While this book is straight forward I am continually referring to the text as I prepare to backup this data.
Informative! March 21, 2010

I bought this book for my wife. She seems to like it almost as much as her camera!

This book is far more that an update on the original DAM book. It has been completely re-written and is far more expansive and comprehensive than Peter Krogh's first book. Keeping track of the thousands of photos that not only professional but even amateur photographers generate is a difficult task. Krogh doesn't necessarily make it easy since this is a complex issue, but he does fantastic job taking this complex issue and making it into something that is not only comprehensible but capable of being actually being useful. He deals with each issue involved in cataloging in a straight forward and logical manner and moves on to the next, building on the previous issue, such that by the end of the book you have a complete and logical system that will enable you to catalog, search and backup your entire photo collection.
Excellent organizational ideas December 21, 2009

This is the definitive work on organization of your photographs. This new version updates the available storage media types and offers suggestions for efficient organization and storage. You need to read this if you own a digital camera and store you photos for later view, print, and archive purposes.
