What types of topics can you expect to see covered here at Imaging Experts? Will they help you in your imaging exploits? Well, you've seen a few posts already talking about image formats, but what else can you look forward to?
Let's see... what might we cover? How about more in-depth format talk? I'd love to read more about the ins and outs of PDF, AFP, or XML, wouldn't you? I'm serious. Do you need any imaging programming hints in a particular language? I always do, but then, I never wanted to be a programmer, so I usually leave that to the big boys. When I force myself to write that magical code, I can always use some tips. Need advice on creating imaging applications? We've got plenty of experience on what to do, and more importantly, what NOT to do when designing that all important image viewer or converter.
How about just a high-level look at everyday imaging for the rest of us? What else can I think of off the top of my head? Some of the questions I hear quite often are things such as, does it matter if I use vector PDF versus raster PDF? Perhaps. It depends on your needs. Why shouldn't you convert all those legacy images to a new format? Trust me, there is a good reason, the most important being that green stuff we all love. What imaging value do I get out of moving away from MS JVM 1.1? There's more value than imaging if you move to even 1.3, never mind 1.5. Is Java a better platform for imaging? How is .NET going to benefit my imaging needs? How does .NET compare to Java? It's more than Microsoft vs. the world, there are real reasons for using either. Or both. What are the benefits of using a server-client based approach to image viewing? There are some great benefits. How can I best handle changing color depths and preserve accurate colors? CMYK to RGB and back. It's no small task. How do I integrate imaging with my document management system? Often overlooked, imaging is no small part of managing your business's documents and workflow.
I could go on and on with this stuff. But I need to do some real work...
