DAM useful, especially in its second edition

DAM Digital Asset Management Peter Krogh Amazon @ iphonephotovideo.com iphone photo video iPod Touch itouch iCameraQuickly – how many photographs do you manage? One thousand? One hundred thousand? Even more? And how well are they organized? Or could your digital photo management use some improvement?

The first edition of Peter Krogh’s DAM (Digital Asset Management) book was not only a great read, but I adopted (and modified slightly) many of his ideas to improve my own image management practices. But the book was published in 2005 and was based on Photoshop CS2 and Adobe Bridge. Not only has Photoshop evolved, but image management / organizer software such as Lightroom and Aperture have been released since. Thus, Peter Krogh updated the entire content of the book and released a second edition which is now available in book stores.

In addition, Peter also updates the companion website to the DAM book which features resources and a very active forum where you can discuss his ideas and the way you intend to implement them.

Today, I use Lightroom to manage all my photos, including pictures taken with my iPhone. Many of my day-to-day management practices were taken straight from Peter’s book or were adapted to fit my peculiar setup. DAM useful proved dam useful to me, indeed!

Editor's Pick @ iphonephotovideo.com iPhone Photo Video iPod Touch itouch icamera ipad itabletWe rated the first edition as “Highly Recommended” and just placed our own order for the second edition of the book. We can’t wait to get our hands on it.

Price: $49.95, Amazon: Amazon: $31.49
