Claims17
A method for collecting and storing photographic device metadata, the method comprising:
- a computer receiving a file containing an image;
- the computer receiving photographic device metadata associated with the image from one or more photographic devices, wherein the one or more photographic devices includes at least one or more illumination devices, and wherein the one or more photographic devices are utilized to create the image, and wherein the received photographic device metadata includes at least a plurality of attributes of the one or more photographic devices, and wherein the photographic device metadata describes a photographic setup at a time the image is created, the photographic setup including at least an illumination device;
- and
- the computer storing the received photographic device metadata in association with the received file.
A computer program product for collecting and storing photographic device metadata, the computer program product comprising:
- one or more computer-readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to receive a file containing an image;
- program instructions to receive photographic device metadata associated with the image from one or more photographic devices, wherein the one or more photographic devices includes at least one or more illumination devices, and wherein the one or more photographic devices are utilized to create the image, and wherein the received photographic device metadata includes at least a plurality of attributes of the one or more photographic devices, and wherein the photographic device metadata describes a photographic setup at a time the image is created, the photographic setup including at least an illumination device;
- and
- program instructions to store the received photographic device metadata in association with the received file.
A computer system for collecting and storing photographic device metadata, the system comprising:
- one or more computer processors;
- one or more computer-readable storage media;
- program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more computer processors, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to receive a file containing an image;
- program instructions to receive photographic device metadata associated with the image from one or more photographic devices, wherein the one or more photographic devices includes at least one or more illumination devices, and wherein the one or more photographic devices are utilized to create the image, and wherein the received photographic device metadata includes at least a plurality of attributes of the one or more photographic devices, and wherein the photographic device metadata describes a photographic setup at a time the image is created, the photographic setup including at least an illumination device;
- and
- program instructions to store the received photographic device metadata in association with the received file.
