 Huge volumes
FotoWare solutions have been designed to handle large volumes of information. Pictures from digital cameras can easily be stored complete with text upon transfer from the camera to the production server. Some prefer to use the system’s project or job feature to add all pictures to a logic bin. The information is available to those who make the final selection, making it easier to work with one case at the time. Or, if you want to compare all pictures from a certain event, search across all the new pictures to see them displayed in a single window.
Handling metadata
FotoWare supports IPTC and XMP standards. The metadata editor makes it simple and fast to store information in one or many pictures simultaneously. Quality is ensured by keyword lists, spell checking and mandatory field checking.
Input control
Receiving pictures from many different sources has some other side effects as well. The consistency of the archive could be jeopardized if some of the files are corrupt or for some reason not supported. FotoWare can easily filter out these files and store them in folders available only to an administrator. You could say that FotoWare acts like a file firewall to protect the production environment. The metadata in each picture may also be used to move the file to a certain archive or add specific text or data to it.
Newspapers store pictures from different sources in different archives. FotoWare can search them all and give you the wanted result without having to move between archives. FotoWare also provides many powerful tools to sort and evaluate the pictures and finally go on with the best selection.
Batch processing of large quantities of pictures will also save time and secure quality. Many users praise all these features in the FotoWare system, saying it saves hours of work every day. |
