Welcome to the I3A “Eye on Imaging” newsletter, which is issued every other month. We will keep you informed and up-to-date on key I3A and industry activities and breaking news, as well as highlight the accomplishments of the individuals whose efforts keep our organization humming. If you have comments or questions, please send a message to Editor@I3A.org.

The President’s Focus

Another PMA has quickly come and gone. Though by all casual reports the show was smaller in number of attendees and space, there is still a great deal of value to be had in attending. In comparison to CES, for example, it’s still refreshing to have a clear focus. Instead of finding flash media on one side of the aisle, and radio controlled aircraft on the other, with audio blasting around the corner, at PMA you will find photo related products and services on both sides of every aisle. The people you need to meet with are largely still there, and I, for one, spent most of the show having productive meetings with those people, as well as meeting some very interesting new ones.

Lisa Walker

One of the new companies I met with was ACMEworks Digital Film from Canada. ACMEworks is a specialized post-production service company dedicated to digital film recording for preservation as well as presentation. Among ACMEworks’ clients are studios that have implemented archiving policies to safeguard the current and future equity of their franchise products. Some of their clients include The Cartoon Network, Warner Brothers Animation, Stretch
Films, Curious Pictures, and Walt Disney TV Animation.

The major new announcement at PMA was HP’s ‘re-entrance’ into the retail market with the introduction of a line of retail kiosks, with both in front and behind the counter products. HP’s goal to move into the retail market has been in the works for years, but in various instantiations that until now have not been successful. The fit is a natural for HP, a brand widely recognized by consumers for quality printing products.

A slew of new Digital SLRs was introduced by companies like Samsung (their first entry), Panasonic, Olympus and Sony. Many of the DSLRs introduced were the result of new partnerships between various camera manufacturers, leading to much speculation about possible mergers in future.

One of the other most notable aspects about PMA this year was the absence of several industry stalwarts, namely Agfa, Konica, Minolta and Polaroid. Their absence is not indicative of the death of the industry. Rather, it is a normal part of its transformation toward a fully digital age. As with other digital evolutions, a key component of the change is enabling more personalization and involvement by consumers. Less reliance on behind-the-counter help, and more direct participation in creating the personal story books and bound albums to tell their very personal stories. Major change is always challenging, but in our case the new landscape is one of exciting growth potential and new ways of serving our customers to provide them with more unique and fulfilling products and services.

I3A made its own announcements at PMA. First, our annual Leadership Award was presented at our Spotlight Reception on Monday February 27th to Fumio Iwai, President and Chief Executive Officer of Konica Minolta Holdings, Inc. His leadership models important traits that have brought Konica Minolta to its present position of strength: the courage to make the right decisions, even when they are difficult; unwavering focus on innovation; and emphasis on a healthy corporate culture.

Second was our announcement of the Open Enrollment period for our new Consumer Photo Preservation (CPP) Initiative. The CPP is designed to take the mystery out of preserving digital images by educating consumers about the risks, nature and proper methodology for storing, cataloging and preserving digital images using an easy to follow step-by-step approach. I encourage all imaging vendors to contact I3A to learn how to participate in this critical new project.

Finally, I3A has announced the dates for its new annual conference, ImageTech, taking place in Chicago, June 7-9th. This conference is the rebirth of our annual fall event, now in its 60th year! We’ve moved it to late spring in order to take advantage of a less busy time of year, and will focus a bit more towards the technology underpinnings I3A provides to power our industry into the future. I encourage all of you to attend this exciting new conference to learn more about the image technology of the future. I hope to see all of you there!

As always, please don’t hesitate to contact me at any time.

I3A Raw Standards Tech Forum a Hit!

I3A held a Technical Forum in conjunction with the PMA Show in Orlando, FL. The Tech Forum: Going RAW – Is a Standard RAW Image Format Possible had over 50 attendees. The Panel reviewed issues concerning RAW camera data from the perspectives of professional photographers, camera vendors and software solutions providers.

The Technical Forum Raw Standards Panel

"There was an overwhelming positive response to the RAW Panel Session at the 2005 Leadership Conference," remarked I3A President Lisa Walker. "We decided to expand the panel discussion to a half-day Tech Forum."

Gene Mopsik

Gene Mopsik, Executive Director for the American Society of Media Photographers, reprised his role as Panel Moderator and led a lively discussion on RAW camera data and its uses for image quality and image preservation.

Jack Holm of Hewlett Packard opened the panel discussion. He offered a background demonstration defining what constitutes RAW data and how this data may be used to build an image using various software translators. Mr. Holm, representing the standards development community, stated that I3A had been working on RAW camera data standards since 1992 through the ISO/TC42 Working Group 18 on Electronic still picture imaging. The current standard ISO 12234-2 on TIFF/EP is under revision and TC42 is considering the addition of further raw data definitions.

Chuck Westfall,
Canon

Professional photographer Richard Anderson presented a rating system to describe raw data preservation. He stressed that raw camera data was extremely important in defining a work flow for professionals. Using a scoring system of 0-10, with 0 indicating that professional needs are not met, and 10 indicating that they are perfectly met, Mr. Anderson
gave his scores for the criteria ranging from quality to new camera support. So what do professional commercial photographers want
from the RAW file format? They want quality, capture speed, processing efficiency, accurate rendering, and artistic rendering. They want their favorite RAW software to support a new camera model immediately, and they don’t want to have older RAW files become hieroglyphics. They need RAW files to support the safe insertion of IPTC data and other descriptive information so that RAW files can be cataloged and searched.

Nicholas Touchard,
DxO Labs

Canon Consumer Imaging Group Director Chuck Westfall presented the camera vendor perspective. Mr. Westfall compared two possible solutions for raw data; proprietary and open standards. While making it clear that Canon intended to keep its RAW data recording methods proprietary, Mr. Westfall stated that Adobe’s DNG file format has excellent features for archival storage and added that Canon might consider the possibility of adding DNG support in future versions of RAW image conversion software.

Nicholas Touchard, VP of Marketing and Product Management , DxO Labs, focused on the pros and cons of raw data. As a software solutions provider DxO likes the flexibility of an open RAW camera file format but appreciates the integrity of proprietary solutions.

Microsoft’s Director of Professional Photographer Community Tim Grey offered alternatives to proprietary file formats. Operating System support for different raw data formats can be achieved through the use of CODECs to read data. These CODECs would be developed by camera vendors and software providers using Microsoft’s development guidelines.

Grey,
Microsoft

The final presentation was by Adobe Systems Incorporated Senior Director of Product Management Kevin Connor. Mr. Connor offered Adobe’s DNG file format as a de facto industry standard. The format is available free of charge from the Adobe website and offers flexible solutions for image preparation and archiving.

Following these opening presentations, the panel, led by Gene Mopsik, tried to answer the question "What’s in it for me — why is raw camera data important?" Panelists agreed that raw camera data is important not only to the work flow of digital photographers but to the long-term preservation of data. Attendees wanted to know whether older image files were simply "lost forever" due to incompatible raw camera data in image files. The answer is not so simple — some data from images may well be lost forever. But other data such as JPEG thumbnails can provide a means for image recovery.

The panel stressed that raw camera data in an ongoing issue with broad implications for image management and preservation. Whatever the solution — open or proprietary — the goal is data integrity and robustness. While at first glance raw data seems more important to the professional market, archiving issues affect the general consumer as well.

Fumio Iwai Receives I3A 2006 Leadership Award

President and CEO of Konica Minolta Holdings, Inc. Honored

I3A’s Leadership Award recognizes those individuals in the international imaging community who have exhibited the exemplary qualities and innovative vision of a leader. Fumio Iwai, President and CEO, Konica Minolta Holdings, Inc., received this year’s honor at I3A’s Spotlight Reception at PMA 2006.

Fumio Iwai,
President and CEO,
Konica Minolta Holdings,
2006 Leadership Award Winner

"His leadership models important traits that have brought Konica Minolta
to its present position of strength: the courage to make the right decisions, even when they are difficult; unwavering focus on innovation; and emphasis on a healthy corporate culture," said award presenter and I3A President Lisa Walker. "Though not every company can have its own Track & Field Team, Mr. Iwai’s leadership provides an example for other executives – whatever the industry – to emulate for their great benefit. I3A is privileged to present our 2006 award to Mr. Iwai."

"I would like to thank the I3A Board of Directors and its members for honoring me with this prestigious award. I accept it on behalf of the entire Konica Minolta family," said Mr. Iwai. "Throughout our association with this organization, we have actively participated with other members in many activities that have improved our industry. To those other companies in the industry, we have enjoyed working beside you and competing with you, and wish you the best of success in the coming years."

Mr. Iwai has had an illustrious career at Konica Minolta. After receiving a Bachelor of Science degree from Gakushuin University, Tokyo, in 1963, he joined Konishiroku Photo Industry Co., Ltd., as the company was then named. Rising through the ranks in a variety of technical and production leadership positions, he was named President and CEO of Konica Corporation in 2001, and, following the merger, President and CEO of Konica Minolta Holdings, Inc. in 2003.

Mr. Iwai’s tenure as President has seen some of the largest shifts ever in the landscape of the imaging industry, through which his leadership has guided the company to be better positioned for success in the future. In January, 2006, the company announced the difficult decision to withdraw from the consumer camera, film and paper businesses; it will remain active in medical and graphic imaging and other business-to-business imaging areas.

The Spotlight Reception was sponsored by:

I3A 60th Annual Conference

ImageTech: The Standards and Technology Powering the Future of Imaging, June 7-9, 2006 in Chicago

I3A marks another milestone with its 60th Annual Conference, ImageTech: The Standards and Technology Powering the Future of Imaging, to be held June 7-9 in Chicago. The ImageTech attendees will explore, in depth, the standards and technology that are currently underway, or will soon be needed, to address developments in the fast-changing imaging industry. Members and non-members are invited to attend.

"We will focus on the technology that will drive the future, and the standards to make that technology useful, practical, and widely implemented," says Lisa Walker. "Sessions will also address the business case for each area. For example, the issue of consumer photo preservation has generated considerable interest recently – ImageTech will examine efforts underway to promote best practices, such as I3A’s CPP Initiative, new archiving technology and service offerings, and provide attendees with actionable information across the topic."

I3A’s event, previously held in the fall, was moved to early June in response to participants’ requests: with the many other imaging-related events that take place in the fall, attendees found it difficult to juggle their regular responsibilities in addition to keeping abreast of goings-on in the industry.

ImageTech sessions will include:

"Next-Generation Sharing"—a panel discussion moderated by Alexis Gerard, Founder and President, Future Image
"Is There a Future for Printing Technology? A New View of Printing Devices"
"AfterClick: Fulfilling the Promise of Digital to Consumers"
"Archiving and Consumer Photography Preservation"
Technology Showcase of cutting edge products and services
And many more presentations, panels and discussions

There will also be plenty of opportunities for networking and socializing.

A limited number of ImageTech sponsorship opportunities are available. As a staging ground for an invaluable exchange of ideas among attendees and industry influencers, the event is a very effective platform for promoting a company’s product or service offerings to the prime audience that is I3A’s special blend of member companies, reaching every corner of the global imaging industry.

Photographer Gordon Parks Remembered

Civils Rights Photo Essayist and Hollywood’s First Major Black Director Dies at 93

Gordon Parks, who captured the struggles and triumphs of black America as a photographer for Life magazine and then became Hollywood’s first major black director with “The Learning Tree” and the hit “Shaft,” died this month, March 2006. He was 93.

Parks had been a featured speaker at several I3A events. He received the 1996 I3A Leadership Award in recognition
of his trailblazing photographic work.

"Nothing came easy," Parks wrote in his autobiography. "I was just born with a need to explore every tool shop of my mind, and with long searching and hard work. I became devoted to my restlessness."

He covered everything from fashion to politics to sports during his 20 years at Life, from 1948 to 1968. But as a photographer, he was perhaps best known for his gritty photo essays on the grinding effects of poverty in the United States and abroad and on the spirit of the civil rights movement.

"Those special problems spawned by poverty and crime touched me more, and I dug into them with more enthusiasm,” he said. “Working at them again revealed the superiority of the camera to explore the dilemmas they posed."

CPP Initiative Launched

The Consumer Photo Preservation (CPP) Initiative was unveiled at the PMA International Show in February.

CPP recognizes the imaging industry’s responsibility to help the public preserve its images in the ever-expanding digital world. In addition to the millions of images taken by stand-alone digital still cameras, according to some surveys over 6 billion images are snapped up by camera-enabled cell phones. This staggering total means that guidelines for storing, preserving and cataloging images are necessary now.

Within the unique Initiative framework of I3A, representatives from digital camera companies, telecomm carriers and software vendors have developed the Initiative’s overall scope and project plan. The project’s intention is to take the mystery out of preserving digital images by educating consumers about the risks faced, and the proper methodology for storing, cataloging and preserving digital images, using an easy to follow step-by-step approach.

The vision of the CPP Initiative is to develop a systematic approach to creating Consumer Photo Preservation methods that provide consumers with the information and resources necessary to protect images in a constantly changing digital environment. The overarching goal is to maintain consumer trust in the imaging industry, by educating consumers on how to best preserve their digital collections, while potentially stimulating the development of standards and solutions for preservation of image collections.

Specifically, the CPP Initiative intends to educate consumers regarding the nature and proper methodology for storing, cataloging and preserving digital images. This information will include, but will not necessarily be limited to, definitions of storage media, techniques for cataloging images, and criteria and methods for medium and longterm preservation.

The Initiative Group will take the following into account during the development and implementation of the CPP project:

Leverage and incorporate existing technical standards and practices wherever possible.
Support all data types that can be collected by a digital camera or cameraphone (including short videos), or image scanner (film, slides), including audio. Support collections of images/video/audio that are contentconnected.
Collaborate with other industry groups to the greatest extent possible to provide a single, high value source of information.
Identify solutions that are immediately available, and compatible with long term solutions.
The materials created by the CPP Initiative should be easily understood by consumers, and preservation plans should be easy to follow and implement.

Major Initiative:
The CPP Consumer Web Site

The Initiative’s goal is to help consumers properly store, organize and manage their precious digital memories for decades to come. The CPP Web site will be created to help consumers learn how to protect and preserve their digital photos.

The site will:

Explain various storage options, their strengths and weaknesses, and easy-to-follow best practices for minimizing risk
Provide consumers with objective and impartial practical advice with respect to specific brands, products and services
Offer step-by-step guidelines for various archiving options available to consumers

The CPP Initiative will work toward the goals above through these primary tasks:

Design and implement a consumer-facing web site to educate and motivate consumers to take steps to protect and preserve their digital photos.

Develop objective consumer-focused content with clear messaging explaining various storage options, their strengths and weaknesses and easy to follow best practices for minimizing risk. This content must provide consumers with practical advice while maintaining objectivity and impartiality with respect to specific brands, products and services.
Promote best practices for various archiving options available to consumers. Include printing as one possible archival solution. When properly stored, today’s high quality digital prints can provide decades of archival preservation, independent of changes in technology and digital formats.
Investigate mechanisms for online interactions with consumers regarding their archiving problems and experiences.

Develop and execute a PR plan to promote awareness of the web site. This could involve links on other consumer-focused web sites, partnering with consumer-electronics industry associations, photo-retailers and the tech press. Leverage the PR capabilities of member companies, rather than support a full I3A campaign.
On an ongoing basis, develop and publish updated content reflecting advances in technology, standards, products and services relating to consumer photo archiving, e.g. ISO “Print-Life” standard.
For industry audiences, as a natural byproduct of the Initiative’s efforts, identify and document gaps in available standards to support needed consumer image preservation solutions. Potentially promote development of those standards through standards developing organizations such as I3A, or others.

I3A welcomes any vendor company, from the traditional to mobile imaging companies, to join this effort, so that this project may embrace the total needs of the imaging industry and the consumer.

Open enrollment ends April 14, 2006. For more information, please contact the I3A Standards Department.
