ImagePASSPORT, LLC
Dexter Lane - New York Graeme Cookson - London JavaScript programs developed by Graeme Cookson ImagePASSPORT, LLC
12 50th St., Ste. 2 Weehawken, NJ07086 (917) 815-2144 dexter (at) imagepassport (dot) com In 2003 Graeme released ImageAUDIT, a free, comprehensive image file technical checker, in the UK. Also in 2003, Dexter initiated PACA's (Picture Archive Council of America) first working committee to address the subject of Digital Standards in the Stock Photography Industry: the Digital Image Standards Committee (DISCo). Before their joint-presentation on digital standards issues at the 2006 Prague CEPIC conference, Graeme described his ongoing JavaScript project to Dexter, and the full idea for ImagePASSPORT was born. ImagePASSPORT, at first provided by consultation only, involves complex sets of image processing routines to update and standardize image collections and libraries. Using ImageAUDIT's comprehensive report on image file technical data, clients could learn the work needed for their collection. They would then engage the ImagePASSPORT services to perform in days what could otherwise take weeks or months to do "by hand." Comprehensive Metadata adjustment capabilities were added to ImagePASSPORT in 2007. Metadata clean-up, spreadsheet adjustment and reformatting, innovative means of inserting data, and repair of spreadsheets damaged during export are major areas covered in this functionality. 2009 saw the consolidation of both image file and metadata processing functionalities in customer-operated programs- ImagePASSPORT, ImageVISA, and ImageTEXT. Ongoing projects include an automated data-handling program tailored to the unique needs of professional keyworders.
