I've been around DAM for a few decades, but this was an excellent, straightforward summary. Great job!

superb video sir

Ha! Yeah... the D.A.M. book is a rough read, but the pinnacle. I remember the CD days to. Always evolving the process. Great video! SSDs have made it nice, but Photoshelter is still the end all-be-all for front facing delivery.

I'd love to have a cliff notes version of the book someday, but we tried to distill the main principles into this article: byuphoto.exposure.co/dam-basics

Thanks for sharing. Love to hear more about how you use Libris, particularly meta tagging and categorizing shoots/files for better search accuracy.

Great summery of DAM. What software does your department use for adding metadata? Does it work with digital media other than photos?

@byuphoto 4 жыл бұрын

We use Photo mechanic, it works on several types of media: home.camerabits.com/

Do you keep a separate database for each shoot and link to related assets in your DAM?

Is there ( open source app.) for DAM? If possible

@byuphoto 2 жыл бұрын

Saif - It depends on what you need. I know photographers that use Smugmug as their database. Some photographers organize things on Google drive. Just make sure that you have multiple copies of the data in multiple locations at all times.

Ia $3600 course about digital asset management worth it?

@kopciej2001 4 жыл бұрын

It's good video but about how the strategy should look like. Now tell me if I put a SD/XQD/CF card into a PC/Mac what happens next? What about Video Cameras, phones? How the workflow looks like? Are you manually "play" with rename,copy, tagging,sync or is the any automated side? I saw PhotoMechanic interface but how you set it? Is that a only tool that you are using? It is fun when it is your job but it is not fun when you are a dad with kids and you want to spend the time with them and make pictures also.

They don't give me 28000 USD in Dicitalaset holding, they constantly make excuses and lie, I was defrauded from digitalassetholding staff in Spain on this platform and they can't withdraw my money.

Why don't you use cloud services instead of buying those individual hardware. Cloud is more safe and permanent. Come to think of it, Google or Amazon wont have reasons to shut down their business.

@byuphoto 11 ай бұрын

Good question, for me it comes down to 2 things, cost and control. For the amount of data we have to back up, cost is a huge factor, it is way cheaper to use bare hard drives and manually manage them. As to control, I don't ever want to have all my eggs in one basket, which means that I won't trust all of my backups to a third party. I've learned the hard way that nobody cares about your images as much as you do. If I used a cloud site i would still need another type of backup in case it went belly up. I'm sure that a cloud backup will be in our future, but right now it doesn't fit our needs.
