- The future of digital imaging and DAM:
DAM is an exploding field right now, and digital photographers are really just the leading edge of the crowd. Soon everyone will have hundreds of gigabytes or more of valuable data that they will need to manage for a lifetime. It will be interesting to see how the photographer tools will move into more mainstream. [...]
In the words of the Firesign Theater, “everything you know is wrong.” It's a huge change in how you think about what you are doing as a photographer, from shooting, to image handling, to business practices.
Adobe´s Jeff Tranberry interviews Peter Krogh, who is on the National Board of ASMP´s Directors, the founder of ASMP´s Digital Standards Committee (now UPDIG) and the author of The DAM Book: Digital Asset Management for Photographers, after his DAM tour with ASMP.

- Aperture future in question as Apple axes bulk of team:
Apple recently asked the engineering team behind its Aperture photo editing and management software to leave, Think Secret has learned. The move, which resulted in the departure of several engineers while others were transferred to different projects inside Apple, raises questions about the future of Aperture, Apple's most heavily criticized and bug-ridden software release in recent years.
Sources familiar with Apple's professional software strategy said they were not surprised by the move, describing Aperture's development as a "mess" and the worst they had witnessed at Apple.
