Target - DRUPA 2000
Vector Versatility
Dennis Aubrey, CEO of the Altamira Group, on the limitless nature of images at DRUPA 2000 and into the next year—when digital images are no longer restricted in size or resolution.
The year 2000 will see a production world in which digital images are no longer restricted in size or resolution because they are described in terms of pixels. Instead, mathematical encoding structures will create completely scalable image assets that can be rendered to any size from a single lossless archival source. From a practical standpoint, this means that digital asset management systems will store only a single version of each image from which all output sizes and resolutions can be derived. The production process will no longer be encumbered by files that are generated by the requirements of output devices.
