Title: Suggestion for a new section
Post by: ErikKaffehr on July 02, 2009, 12:36:02 am

Hi,

I'd suggest a new section to the forum like "Asset management and Presentation" with subsections:

- DAM
- Printing, framing, hanging and illuminating
- Presentation on the Web

Best regards
Erik

How many people think there's enough traffic on this to justify a separate section?

Great idea. At this point in time, the proposed new section would be of great interest to me.  I hope it is a go-but I realize there is limited digital real estate with which to work without having things too cumbersome.

Can't really see the need. There aren't that many such posts, and there are already strong forums on DAM like Peter Krogh's (http://thedambook.com/smf/index.php) or Controlled vocabulary (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/controlledvocabulary/messages). It'll be just like the other raw converters section. Clutter.

The few times these  issues come up, they seem to be handled quite nicely where they are posted.
That would be a no.

I dont need such a section here. I also feel its too specialized regarding the overall traffic.

I would combine the RAW converter forums.  I'd add an organization/backup forum.  I'd re purpose the Digital Projection forum to be a Presentation forum (including digital projection, web presentation, gallery presentation, framing, hanging and illuminating).  I'd rename the Wet Darkroom forum to the "In my day we didn't have pixels.  We had chemicals that turned your nails black and killed the cats.  That's the way it was and we liked it." forum.  I'd drop "digital cameras" from the "digital cameras & shooting techniques" forum.

Alternately leaving it as is would be good, too.

I think there is a good argument for a DAM/file management section and it would allow for the Camera RAW/LR forums to be merged.  I've never been too sure what the difference is between the "Cameras, lenses and shooting gear" and the "digital cameras and shooting techniques" fora in practise and agree that dropping the "digital cameras" might lead to a more interesting forum with questions such as "how do I successfully shoot a skydiving mongoose?" rather than the more hardware based questions that fit happily in Cameras, lenses...

Hi,

It seems that my suggestion generated pretty little interest, so I guess RIP.

Best regards
Erik
