Tagging in CatDV
We’re slowly trying to implement CatDV in our system starting with photos.
The problem that we keep running into is how to tag individuals in the photos – especially if there are many people in the photo how to know which person is which. We also have to have consents for each person we take a photo of.
In an ideal world we would like to have a consent and a name tagged to each person in the photo.

Honestly, photos are not the primary use for CatDV.
That said, we’ve created some great image archives using CatDV. One thing that is good to do is to create a set of records for each person in your archive, sort of a “mugshot gallery” with an edited close up of each person along with their metadata.

CatDV is very focused on video and in our larger deployments we tend to integrate CatDV with another image management system, or bring assets over after tagging in another photo app that supports more advanced photo workflows with a GUID so we can track back to the other system.
Just as image systems lack the video features of CatDV, CatDV does not have some of the more advanced photo features such as face tagging etc so you may need to augment it, if photos are critical to your workflow.
