Tagging is key in any Digital Asset Management (DAM) system. It’s what makes finding and organizing thousands of digital files easier. Daminion is great at this, saving teams lots of time.
Why Tagging Matters
Tagging is crucial for keeping a digital library organized. It’s like labeling books in a library so you can find them easily. With good tagging, you can quickly locate any file you need, whether it’s an image, a document, or a video.
For small collections, say around 5,000 files, one person could manage the tagging within a reasonable time. They could go through each file, decide what tags fit, and apply them manually. This process, while time-consuming, is doable for smaller libraries.
However, when your collection grows to hundreds of thousands of files, manual tagging becomes a huge challenge. Imagine trying to label 100,000 books by hand! It’s the same with digital files. Manually tagging such a vast number of files is not only impractical but also inefficient. It would take an enormous amount of time and effort, which could be better spent on other tasks.
Beyond Manual Tagging: Embracing AI in Digital Asset Management
In large digital libraries, manual tagging isn’t just impractical; it’s virtually impossible. The sheer volume of files demands a Digital Asset Management (DAM) system equipped with an option for automated tagging.
This is precisely what Daminion offers. It’s not just a DAM system; it’s enhanced with advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), facial recognition, and Machine Learning (ML) to recognize and categorize content efficiently. This integration of cutting-edge technology speeds up the process significantly, making it much faster and more efficient. By utilizing these features, Daminion transforms the tagging workflow, enabling organizations to save thousands of work hours that would otherwise be consumed by manual tagging.

Daminion’s Auto-Tagging Capabilities: A Deep Dive
Daminion is continually evolving to streamline your workflow, automating many routine tasks with its advanced tagging features.
Here’s a detailed look at what Daminion can do for you:
AI-Powered Tagging
- Versatile Object Recognition: Daminion uses Google Vision to identify common objects in images, such as people, buildings, and emotions. While it’s not a complete substitute for human insight, especially for specialized content, it’s a significant time-saver, particularly effective with architectural, event, and nature photos.
- Color and Duplicate Detection: Easily identify dominant colors, image duplicates, and similar images.
- Facial Recognition: After identifying a person in a few photos, Daminion can automatically tag that person across thousands of other images.
- GPS-Based Location Tagging: (Coming soon) Daminion will detect location names from GPS data, enhancing the categorization process.
Technical and Organizational Tagging
- Seamless Integration with Existing Structures: Daminion can import and adapt to your existing folder and file naming systems, avoiding duplicates and maintaining your established organization methods.
- Comprehensive Image Parameters: Tags include image dimensions, orientation, transparency, format, creation date, color profile, DPI, GEO tags, and more.
- Database Insights: Track changes in documents, uploads by specific individuals, most viewed or downloaded assets, and check-out histories.
Metadata Recognition
- Extensive Metadata Handling: Daminion reads and recognizes metadata like EXIF, IPTC-NAA, XMP, and more from over 100 media formats, including images, PDFs, videos, and audio files.
Importing and Exporting Data
- Flexible Data Import: Daminion can import asset descriptions from other systems using CSV files or the Daminion API.
Generating High-Quality Thumbnails
- Visual Tags for Quick Identification: Think of thumbnails as visual clues for your files. Without clear thumbnails, you’d spend hours searching through countless folders. Daminion simplifies this by creating high-quality thumbnails for over 100 media formats, helping you find files fast.
Batch Tagging Tools
- Efficiency in Volume: With batch tagging tools, a single person can tag thousands of images in a day, streamlining the process of assigning multiple tags to multiple images.

How to Start Easing Your Digital Asset Management by Tomorrow with Daminion?
You see that Daminion can recognize and classify a lot of data during ingestion of your digital archive library. It also gives you batch tools to speed up manual tagging.
But another good news about organizing is: you most likely need frequent access to just 5% of your assets, for example for recent projects or files that were modified since the past year.
It means that deployment of Daminion is pretty easy:
- Automatic tagging will be enough to make your searches x10 times faster
- Organizing of only 5% of your media library brings you to another level of organizing and speed of accessing to your imagery
- 95% of other assets might be organized by demand using batch tagging tools or stayed without organizing. Because usually 5% of images are the most frequently used assets.
