DAM Class Catchup
For those of you that have missed one (or both) of the DAM Classes so far, here is a quick recap of what we've covered so far...
In the first class, we went over the basics of DAM, including what DAM is & why you need a DAM system, and learned about different types of DAM software. We learned about about Metadata, including the different types of Metadata & how they are stored & used. We also covered how we set up our Archive (image storage), considering both the Information Structure (file & folder arrangement) & the Hardware Structure (the Hard Drives & Computers we store our images on). Finally we covered the basics of image backup. If you missed this class, make sure to download the PDF of my lecture from my FTP server. Ask a classmate for the login details. Also make sure to read Chapters 1-6 in the DAM Book.
In our second class, we covered the beginning of the DAM system: Ingesting our images from our cameras & memory cards. We used ImageIngester Pro to do this - make sure to see the blog posts related to that topic here & here. Also make sure to read Chapters 7&8 in the DAM Book - most everything we covered in the second class is covered there.
If you have any questions about what we've covered so far, please post questions in the comments here. If I don't hear anything, I'll assume we're good to go...
Watch for another post shortly about requirements for our third class.
Cheers, Josh

Thanks for the recap, Josh...I've RSS'd this blog but have no idea where to "sign up" beyond that.

Harrison,
If you've RSS'd the blog already, you should be good to go. If you prefer to receive the posts via e-mail, just put your e-mail address into the top bar on the right of any blog page.
Cheers, Josh
Both, I'm a feed junkie...and it's all set up. See you tomorrow.
