The DAM Book: Digital Asset Management for Photographers by Peter Krogh
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I borrowed this from my local library in order to learn more about metadata and workflow. I gave it 2 stars because I had to renew it 4 times in order to glean what I needed from this book because I shoot in .jpg and use Photoshop Elements 15 while Krogh discusses too many topics above my current knowledge base.
I had to make the leap from PSE10 to PSE15 when I had to replace my current laptop, and the transition was not as smooth as I hoped it would be for my hierarchal keywords suddenly became imported keyword tags sorted by numerical and alphabetical order. I hoped this book would help me learn to link metadata in the properties of each digital file with each upload, and it did that somewhat. I hoped to learn a workflow before I started a huge project of scanning family photo albums, and I did.
If you are a photographer who shoots in RAW and saves files as .dng, this book is likely to rate higher for you. If you already use Lightroom and Bridge, this book is likely to rate higher for you.
