Universal Photographic Digital Imaging Guidelines

<a href="http://www.updig.org/guidelines/index.php"><b>This web site</b></a>

could be of use to some.<br>

It includes 12 guidelines provided as both a <i>Quick Guide</i> plus an in-depth

<i>Complete Guide</i> whose aim is to<br>

clarify the issues affecting accurate reproduction and management.<p>

The guidelines have three primary goals:<br>

* Digital images should look the same as they transfer between devices,

platforms and vendors.<br>

* Digital images should be prepared in the correct resolution, at the correct

size, for the device(s) on which they will be viewed or printed.<br>

* Digital images should have metadata embedded that conforms to the IPTC and

PLUS standards:<br>

- making the images searchable,<br>

- stating their creators and copyright owners ? along with contact

information,<br>

- and including relevant rights/usage information, with a description of allowed

uses.<p>

Cheers!
