LABELING OF IMAGES IN PHOTOSHOP USING LAYERS, LONG-TERM ARCHIVING AND AUTOMATION CAPABILITIES

Summary/Abstract: This article deals with possibility of using Photoshop layers to store additional data in graphical documents. Data can be in form of text, or graphic form, they can be added manually or automatically with another environments serving for batch processing (e.g. Matlab). Such modified data can be used for long term archive, or in time additional information, which are needed for description of the technical facilities, utilities or geographic highlights. Data can be stored in heterogeneous data sources in different structures and each other “mixed”. Matlab environment addresses the method of data extraction, transformation and alignments records, and then store the data in electronic form in unstructured environment of Photoshop tool. Records are transformed into graphic form and then, using layers, saved in the Photoshop tool. Final form (PSD file) is virus resistant and commonly known.
