HI Tony,

Thanks for your reply, a marker does seem to be the most preferred option and offers the most professional results. We have been discussing such issues all morning as it happens, it seems that systems can do most things - its just the cost and resource to tag everything that holds things back!  Can I ask whether you provide a zoomable image for all accessioned objects , or just a selection, and if so whats the rough percentage?

Many thanks,

Becky

Hi Becky,
We have implemented a marker for primary image and zoomable image. Our website can only currently display one image so this was deemed the only to control auto uploading to the website.
Hope this helps.
Best regards
Tony

Good morning All,

I wondered whether I could pick your brains about DAM and collections on line?

In many instances we have a selection of images for each object in our DAMs (not just left, right, front, back, but various images taken over the years).  I am interested whether you choose to display all  images through collections on line or select just one and if so how your DAMs actually identifies the main image. Is it automatic initially (i.e. the first image it finds with the corresponding accession number) and something that can be manually changed thereafter? Or is it a case of tagging each and every image that it is suitable for collections on line?

Many thanks in advance.

Becky
