Don't trust optical media

Comment by elwm6 on August 2, 2006

The biggest problem with ths workflow is trusting original images on CDs or DVDs and trashing the originals. Big mistake. There should be some reliable media used to store originals. A couple of hard drives in a RAID 1 array should do it. Then when it's full, split the two drives up and move one off-site. And don't use it except to get to originals.

Ben's right

I've been using Aperture off and on, and comparing it to Lightroom. Both programs are good, and I think Ben is right about people not wanting to change their workflow - i.e. using Finder as their Digital Asset Management System.

As a licenser of stock photography ($295,000 two years ago, last year was a slow one) I know the pain of paying top dollar for top-quality photos. But as a photographer, I understand what photographers are going through. They never get the respect they deserve for their hard work and their retirements are based on the continued sale of their images.
