4. Next, create a sub-folder in the mission folder you just created and name
it ‘Unedited Photos’ or ‘Original Photos’. Do this each time you create a
mission folder.
5. Import your photos into the ‘Unedited Photos’ sub-folder. This will be your
set of untouched photos, and will serve as a backup in case you make a
mistake during editing or need to go back to the original, untouched photo
for any reason.
6. Next, copy (not transfer) the photos from the ‘Unedited Photos’ sub-folder
into the mission folder. You can now rename these copies (see “Naming
Pictures” below) and perform any editing that is required. [Note: Each
time you edit a photo, it’s a good idea to use the “Save As” command
rather than “Save”; this makes it easy to recover from a mistake or to crop
the same photo differently.]
7. If you make a mistake, or the customer later asks for an unedited copy,
you can retrieve the original from the ‘Unedited Photos’ sub-folder.
6.4 Watermarking Photos
The CAP Image Processing Program is a simple application that
automatically watermarks digital imagery with geographically identifying details
(e.g., target name, latitude/longitude, time on target, and picture direction).
If the customer wants the photos watermarked, the aircrew is responsible for
collecting all of the required information during flight, and should know how to
enter the information into the image processor spreadsheet once back on the
