This is the definitive book on digital asset management for photographers. Peter draws the analogy of learning DAM with color management. Both are essential to any serious photographer, whether a pro or keen amateur. It just takes some longer to realise. With DAM the sooner you start the less you need to catch up.


Reading the DAM Book will save you countless hours, mistakes, and money. I went through many different systems before stumbling on the "right" DAM. Of course I wish Peter's book was available before I had to learn the hard way! Having read the DAM Book I found more ways to further streamline and improve my RAW workflow.


Peter has always been generous in sharing his experience and knowledge in DAM. Thanks for taking the time the write it all down. The DAM Book will be the text photographers and educators turn to for information on asset management for photographers.

"As the number of images in a photographer's collection gets larger a system like that in The DAM Book will become a necessity. It makes life easier for the digital photographer. In the event of a major system failure like losing a hard drive, having a simple backup system that is up to date will be all that matters."
--Jerry Callaghan, Boston West Photographic Society
