UPDIG - Universal Photographic Digital Imaging Guidelines

Para os iniciados na fotografia digital, e também para os menos iniciados, acaba de surgir um sítio lançado pelo grupo de trabalho UPDIG (Universal Photographic Digital Imaging Guidelines). Este consórcio ad-hoc formado por algumas das entidades de referência na área da imagem digital, pretende, através de 15 regras, defenir o fluxo de trabalho do fotógrafo digital. Visita obrigatória e bastante esclarecedora.

"These 15 guidelines — along with the accompanying Best Practices documents — aim to clarify issues affecting accurate reproduction and management of digital image files. Although they largely reflect a photographer’s perspective, anyone working with digital images should find them useful. The guidelines have three primary goals:
• Digital images look the same as they transfer between devices, platforms and vendors.
• Digital images are prepared in the correct resolution, at the correct size, for the device(s) on which they will be viewed or printed.
• Digital images have metadata embedded that conforms to the IPTC standards, making the images searchable, providing usage and contact information, and stating their creators or copyright owners."
