dpBestflow.org outlines best practice in taking and storing your digital images for your workflow and archiving. Establishing best practice now increases future productivity.
Establishing what constitutes best practice is always important for a designer – and not all designers realise this until they’ve built a few websites from tables, taken a series of important photographs on JPEG compression setting when Camera RAW is available on their Digital SLR camera or even sent a series of images to the printers without consulting them or reading their guidelines on getting the most from their systems. However, it is often overlooked that people involved with creating content such as photographs may not be designers or photographers in small to medium sized businesses on a limited budget and it is useful to have a basic guide to creating text, images or other material to pass onto designers. dpBestflow has been established by The American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP) to assist people in creating, using and storing digital imagery.
“Through dpBestflow, we are striving to make best practices in digital photography readily accessible to all professional photographers, no matter what their level or working style” – Project Director Richard Anderson.
“dpBestflow helps translate the intricacies of preserving digital images into useful information that can be incorporated into everyday workflow habits.” – Senior Project Manager Peter Krogh
