Deals: Peter Krogh's New Book
3 May 2017
In an email today, Peter Krogh announced the upcoming publication of Digitizing Your Photos, after which, he said, "I'll resume work on The DAM Book 3, which will be available later this year." Both titles are now available at pre-publication discount prices.
Digitizing Your Photos draws on "the principles used by museums and institutions," Krogh said, to help "family historians, corporate collection managers or professional archivists" digitize their assets. The technique relies on a digital camera rather than a scanner:
Camera scanning can be done on-site, with any of the millions of high-quality digital cameras already in use by people and institutions. For many, the only additional purchases may be a modest outlay for a macro lens or copystand.
You can save 20 percent by purchasing now before the book releases on May 15.
The DAM Book 3.0 benefits from Krogh's software development detour of the last couple of years to add a deep dive into incorporating cloud services into your workflow.
If you buy the ebook of the The DAM Book 2.0 now at $19.95, you can get the updated version for $15 off later.
To order either title, the DAM Bookshop and use the code aff-mp-10-nx.

Welcome readers!
After an unexpected detour into software development for a couple of years, I'm back writing full-time. We're about to launch an entirely new book on digitizing photo collections, outlined below.
And right after we launch Digitizing Your Photos, I'll resume work on The DAM Book 3, which will be available later this year.
What the New Book Contains
My current book, Digitizing Your Photos with your camera and Lightroom, presents a comprehensive step-by-step guide to photo copying:
- Equipment selection
- Photo preparation
- Scanning workflow
- Quality control
- Tagging
- Curation
- Digital photo management
Drawing on the principles used by museums and institutions, this book presents a method that is within reach of millions of photographers, whether they are family historians, corporate collection managers or professional archivists.
The Time to Digitize is Now
The digital camera has come of age as the preferred method for digitizing photos, film and documents. Families, companies and institutions can now make digital archives of important photos at unprecedented scale, speed and cost. These new digital archives will help you learn and share your history and preserve it for the future.
Over the last decade, the digital camera has steadily become the scanning tool of choice for some of the most trusted image collections worldwide. It is used by institutions like the Library of Congress, the National Archives, as well as major museums and collections.
Faster, Better, Cheaper -- Really!
Fast, high-quality scanning allows you to digitize entire collections at a fraction of the cost of older methods.
Camera scanning can be done on-site, with any of the millions of high-quality digital cameras already in use by people and institutions. For many, the only additional purchases may be a modest outlay for a macro lens or copystand.

I'm really excited to turn my attention to The DAM Book 3. A lot has changed in the way we store and make use of our photographs.
