Hi Julie, We are in the throws of setting up our DAMS, and absolutely plan to store our master TIFFs, roped off in an area that would be managed and accessed only by our imaging staff. For us, I would say that there are no cons. Having the masters in the DAMS enables us to link metadata from our collections management system automatically, so the asset and the metadata are one happy package.

I was wondering if people normally store their master TIFFs on the DAM together with their derivative JPEGs, or if they store them on a separate server. If you can tell me the pros and cons of your preferred method I would greatly appreciate it.
