    • Going with the Flow (pg. 28)
      There’s much more to digital photography than just taking great photographs. Once the pictures are in the camera, you still have to get them into the computer, manipulate their metadata, edit them, and then archive them. This is otherwise known in the industry as “workfl ow." Workfl ow is simply managing digital photographs effectively and effi ciently. The best part of it is that managing all that data will never be harder than it is today. And with a little polish in all the right places, it’s not very hard now.—Kevin Ames
