Digital Asset Management (DAM) with ACDSee Pro
Digital asset management, or DAM, is the process of downloading, naming, rating, grouping, tagging, processing, archiving, searching, tracking, and otherwise organizing files. In particular, for the purposes of this article, I am referring to the management of digital photographs, and ACDSee Pro is a great tool that can help you do everything on this list. But merely having a great tool is not enough – you also need a strategy for using that tool. That is my purpose in writing this article – to show you how to use ACDSee Pro in an effective manner. And by this, I mean, in a way that allows you to easily do any processing you need to do on your images, to easily group and tag your files in a way that makes them easy to find and access later, and perhaps most importantly, to easily backup all your images. You want your images to be readily accessible and organized in a way that will allow you or others (such as your family or potential customers) to find images of interest years and perhaps even decades from now. At least, that is the assumption behind DAM.
