Image Management

Andornot has worked on several image management projects for both archives and corporate clients wishing to keep track of the burgeoning amount of photographic material since the advent of digital cameras.

Inmagic software provides an excellent tool for cataloguing images as the desktop version offers a built in image viewer and annotation capabilities. Images are referenced as files and are not embedded in the database, allowing them to still be accessible and used outside of the software. Unlike many hardwired image management programs, fields can be set up that are very specific to the particular application or client.  For example, a hospital may need to be able to search on age or gender or a particular piece of equipment, while a forestry company might require fields for species and time of year.

One of the features of Inmagic is the ability to add multiple values to any field which is ideal for indexing the names of people or places. Validation or a thesaurus can be set up to ensure that entries are consistent and to avoid spelling mistakes.

Images can be displayed easily in a web interface using WebPublisher PRO and most of our projects now involve adding web based requesting or ordering options. Andornot has also developed an ImageHandler add-on to allow automatic resizing and watermarking.
