Digital photography standards
by Mark ~ December 7th, 2009. Filed under: News & Tips, Photo Tips, Visit-worthy links, processing.I picked up on a new website while listening to Jim Goldstein’s interview with Lightroom project manager Tom Hogarty. I haven’t gone through it completely, but certainly appreciate what I have seen so far.
dpBestFlow.org
dpBestflow.org is a site that looks simple on the initial page, but do a little poking around and you will find a wealth of information on best practices and workflow suggestions for digital photography. The website is a result of a project by ASMP who was contacted by the Library of Congress to develop a variety of best practices and guidelines revolving around a digital workflow. Here is the purpose statement from their website;
The purpose of dpBestflow is twofold:
To create guidelines for refined production workflows, archiving methods, and best practices for digital photography based on a variety of capture methods and intended image use. The guidelines will be developed on the basis of research, analysis of software products and other tools targeted at professional photographers. To publish the dpBestflow as a website open to the public. The adoption of the dpBestflow guidelines will be promoted to the professional photography community and the public through programming at industry trade shows and a nationwide series of training events at ASMP chapters, trade shows, and educational institutions
There is A TON of information here. Perhaps you will now blame me for a few hours of your life lost, but I am sure you will gain some insight on at least some of these topics, or save you from a potential disaster.

Thanks for the pointer to this site, Mark – I’ll have to spend some time digging into it…

Mark, This is exactly the type of information the techie part of me can get “lost” in for hours. Thanks for sharing the link — I think.

I have already put to use some of the ergonomic suggestions.

I’m right behind Earl, I can, and will, get “lost” here. Even though we may have established a workflow we can always find something that may work better or even explain it to us better. So, I’ll probably get lost today instead of cleaning my bathroom!

That sounds like a heck of a resource Mark. I’ll have to spend some time tomorrow looking it over.

Oh, dear, I think there is another of those long detours in my near future. Still more to learn. And, certainly, I can postpone work on that studio another day.
