	Part III – Catalogue-Based Non-Destructive Imaging 1.     What model does cataloguing software use ? Library model                                                                                                                                            2.     Where are the images stored in a catalogue based system ? Single folder; multiple folders; or hardrives                      3.     Where does the catalogue get its initial information about the files ? metadata                                                                                                                                   4.     Where does the cataloguing software store this information ? Stores the information in a central location                                                                                       5.     What is the main organising principle of Browser based systems ? 6.     How do cataloguing systems organise their images ? a record is created for each photo file containing the info ,a preview of the image is created and stored and can be accessed even if the file is not available; and any metadata in the file is associated with the  photo in the catalogue 7.     How does a cataloguing system make changes to an image ? Adding information like keyword just makes a note in the catalogue  record for the photo.                                                                                                        8.     Can other programs see these changes ?                             No How does 9.     a cataloguing system make changes to an image available to other programs ?  It can be done to files (JPG, TIFF, PSD OR DNG) can show the adjusted images in  way accessible to nearly any program. 10.                       List 5 advantages of Cataloguing based PIE software ? a.      Info created, stored & cross referenced in one place. Multiple rendering can be attached to a single source image and managed in the same environment.  b.     Creates useful groups of scattered images. Cataloguing programs organise by metadata c.      Works with offline images. Can access photos not connected to the computer.                                                                                                                                                 d.     . It can be backed up early in the process because the original is never changed.                                                                      e.      Generates multiple output types from a single source.                                           11.                       Give two examples of software that combine Image Cataloguing and Editing functions ? a.      Adobe Photoshop Lightroom                                                                                          b.     Apple Aperture

f	Exercise 6 – Non-Destructive Editing
Names
	§       This is a formative assessment instrument §       You must be rated ‘Competent’ in this assessment item.
Preamble	This exercise is aimed at giving practice in applying the tools and techniques used for non-destructive editing.  All the operations used to carry out the following exercise should be done in a non-destructive manner. Precise instructions are not given, just the tasks that must be performed. If you do not know how to carry out the tasks non-destructively then ask the teacher for help.
Questions	1.     Open the image NDE-1.tif in Adobe Camera Raw and do the following :- i.       Use the Straighten tool to straighten and crop the image. ii.      Adjust the colour temperature. iii.     Adjust the Basic controls to give good rendition of the view outside the lighthouse. iv.    Use the HSL/Greyscale control panel to make the orange rocks and foliage slightly more saturated. v.     Use the Local Adjustment Brush to lighten the floor and ceiling to reveal a little more detail in these areas. vi.    Use a second soft Local Adjustment Brush to brighten the light lens and add a yellow colour to it. 2.     Open the image into Photoshop as a smart object. 3.     Use ‘File->Place…’ to add NDE-2.tif as a smart object into the image. (Press enter when the image appears.) i.       Flip the new layer horizontally so the photographer is facing in the opposite direction. ii.      Resize the new layer to make it a bit smaller. iii.     Remove the background from the new layer by creating a layer mask. (There are a number of ways to do this). iv.    Move the photographer into an appropriate position at the bottom of the frame, and resize if necessary. 4.     Double-click on the NDE-1 icon in the layers panel to open it in ACR. i.       Make a change and resave to see the effect. 5.     Double-click on the NDE-2 icon in the layers panel to open it in Photoshop. i.       Make a change and resave to see the effect. 6.     If you have worked Non-Destructively throughout this exercise you should be able undo or modify any of the editing changes you have performed.
