Fine Arts Reproduction: Another Distribution Workflow Model

Many times when one thinks about media distribution the focus is largely on the distribution of printed or electronic content. There are so many others types of media: paintings, photographs, film and music .......

I was reminded of this yesterday during a research presentation focused on the reproduction of fine art. Specifically oil paintings and photographs. The objective of the research was to evaluate the image capture process for reproding fine art works to assess things like color match and image quality. Part of the presentation focused on how these reproductions are utilized. For example reproduced images of paintings are repurposed/reformatted for use on posters, post cards, artists books, cups, umbrella, etc. Once these items are created they are distributed through museum stores, book stores, through Internet retail and more.
