EXIF and Beyond

The 16th and 17th episode of EXIF and Beyond has been released.

These episodes feature an interview with Jeff Sedlik, President and CEO of the PLUS Coalition (usePLUS.org), current Professor of Photography at the Art Center College of Design and also a past president of the Advertising Photographers of America (APA).

Discussed is the Picture Licensing Universal System (PLUS). Although relatively young by comparison to other photographic standards bodies, PLUS is tackling tough contemporary issues facing photographers. Both episodes are packed with valuable information every photographers should be aware of.

Part I of the interview covers PLUS Standards including the PLUS Glossary, License Generator, PLUS – IDs and the differentiators between PLUS, IPTC, and Creative Commons.

Part II of the interview covers machine readability, pending Orphan Works Copyright legislation, metadata, the PLUS Artist & Licensor Registry and the future of PLUS .

    I listened to most of the 1st section yesterday and thought it was very informative. The part where they are working toward software manufacturers adopting these standards was the biggest thing i took away from this because I had played around w/ the tools they currently have and didn’t find any practical use for PLUS at this time since it’s not widely used yet. When Adobe and other companies start getting in on this then it will definetely be a good thing IMO.
