M4: Classify Photographic Images by Embedding Metadata

 M4: Classify Photographic Images by Embedding Metadata In this post, I will be explaining what metadata is, what the different types of metadata are and how I have attached metadata to my own photos before exporting them. Metadata is a way of attaching information to a photograph. This data can be used to help you not only search for your own images, but to also help others see your images using key words. There are two types of metadata: EXIF and IPTC.    EXIF (Exchangable Image File) metadata is the data your camera creates when you take the photo. Your photo. This is the properties of a raw photo I took for this photography unit. The camera I used, the lens, aperture (in F-stop), ISO and shutter speed (exposure time). The properties even show you if flash was used while taking the photo and the file size.     Here you can see the properties of a photo I took for my photography project. Here you can see all the camera specifics. I have not added this in, this...

P5: Produce a Portfolio of Images to Meet the Client Brief

 P5: Produce a Portfolio of Images to Meet the Client Brief In this blog post, I will talk through the process I took to export my cinematic photography photos.  I decided to export my photos in bulk (export 10 files can be seen in the top left corner) to make sure that the export settings are consistant across all photos. I created a new folder for my exported photos called "Cinematic Photography Completed Photos" to keep all of my files organised.    I then decided to choose PNG as the file type for all of my photos. JPEG is lossy compression. This means that your file size is smaller but this sacrifices the quality of the photos. PNG can be lossy or loseless compression. I decided to use PNG loseless compression to present my photos in their highest quality, the only downside to this is my file sizes will be slightly larger. PNG is also great for the web since it can load quickly without the quality suffering.   Sharpening ensures that my photos are crisp whi...

 P4: Organise Photographs and Apply Processing Techniques  In this report, I will explain how I have orgainised the photographs I have taken for my cinematic photography project. I will also talk you through how I edited my 10 final photos and how I experimented with exposure.           Here you can see I have organised all of my photos into different folders to help me pick the best quality photos to edit. I decided to do this using the star system. I did this Adobe Lightroom because this is a professional photo editing software. I named each folder after the star sytem so it was easier to find the best quality photos I wanted when I ranked them.  This ensures that my photos are organised. As you can see I placed my 10 bet photographs into the Photos To Edit folder so I know which ones to edit. These screenshots demonstrate how I have used the star ranking system for my images. You can see the stars at the bottom of the screen. There are seve...
