Conservation photo annotation workflows

Annotate photographs against components, defects and observations with persistent evidential value.

A conservation photograph is evidence. The platform supports annotation that ties a region of a photograph to a specific defect, component or observation, so that the photograph and the record remain mutually intelligible long after capture.

Region-based annotation

Defects can be marked directly on the photograph, with the annotation linked to the structured observation. The annotated overlay is preserved alongside the unannotated original.

Before / after comparison

Where surveys are repeated, paired photographs support direct comparison of condition over time.

Photo schedules in issued reports

Issued reports include photo schedules with captions, attribution and references to the relevant observations.

Frequently asked

Are annotations destructive to the original image?
No. Annotations are stored separately and rendered as an overlay; the original photograph is preserved unaltered.
