Abstract

A system and method for remote picture editing is provided. High-resolution digital image files containing metadata are uploaded onto a hub from computers local to one or more photographers at an event. Lower-resolution copies of the digital images are made and are sent over the Internet to a web server. The web server notifies an editor that the lower-resolution images are available. The editor views the lower-resolution copies over the Internet, selects the images to be used, and using image-processing software, sets editing instructions to be applied to the image. Once the selected image is edited in accordance with the editor's instructions, the edited image is sent to a processor for final editing and application of additional metadata. The processor sends the finalized image to a reviewer for a final check before the image is sent to news and media outlets for publication.
