ABSTRACT
Digital images, on their own, certainly have value. But with extensive keywording and captioning, the same image is potentially far more valuable. It used to be pretty easy to stamp slides with Photographer's name and copyright info but doing so with digital images is not so straightforward. They can add metadata using direct text entry in Bridge CS4 or in the File Info panel in Bridge or Photoshop. An orphan work is a copyrighted work whose owner is unknown or impossible to identify. Archiving is really the process of long-term conservation and preservation. While photographers do want to do weekly or daily backups, that process does not ensure long-term viability and availability. Scheduled backups are most important because it is useful to have a buffer between the contents that are on the current working drives and the backup versions. Redundant Array of Independent Disks level 0 stripes data across multiple drives for speed at the expense of safety.
