Talk:Graphics software

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What about merging this article with Graphics program ? --Xylometazolin 16:55, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Support: Yes, these articles needs to be merged. I guess merge Graphics progam into graphics software is best. -- Frap 12:34, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Graphics Software would be the correct terminology, it should be merged into Graphics software not into Graphics Program. --Hm2k 00:44, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I would like to update the photo editor page with a stub. Currently when I search it, the photo editor page is redirected here. My stub would include the information below and I would link it to the editor page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editor.

I have completed some research seen below presented as bullet points.

Photo Editor (aka Picture Editor) –

- Responsible for collecting, selecting, and preparing photographs for publication

- Positions in several different types of publications (newspapers, books, magazines, galleries, web site, corporate PR publications) and each publication has its own set of aims and guidelines

- The job relays more and more on technology – for deliver of images, selecting of best images, treating the photos for publication, archiving use for budget concerns or even reuse

- Often includes managerial duties, budget development and maintenance, negotiating contracts with photo sources, understanding of copyright and media law

- Highly specialized profession and often filed by people who were previously photographers.

“The selection of a small number of photographs and illustrations from a choice of possibly hundreds is generally recognized as the core skill of picture editing.” (Ang, pg. 4)

My primary sources are the following two -

1. Ang Tom. Picture Editing, Second Edition. Focal Press, 2000. Introduction available on Amazon.com

2. Schools In the USA website – http://www.schoolsintheusa.com/careerprofiles_details.cfm?carid=1146

Please let me know if this is appropriate to appear on this page. Thank you! --Photomer (talk) 19:52, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
