DIGITAL ASSET CARE · Workflow idea

Make image files lighter while keeping the originals safe.

When a new image is added to a selected collection, prepare a smaller optimized copy in a separate destination. Keep the source file unchanged and make it easy for a designer or site owner to compare visual quality before replacing any asset already in use.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

An image is added to a collection selected by its owner

“Prepare an optimized copy, preserve its original name or clear source reference, and place it where the owner can review it.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps a team reduce image file sizes and prepare assets for websites or shared collections without overwriting source material.

  1. Choose images approved for processing

    Confirm that the owner has authorized the image collection for optimization.

  2. Prepare a smaller image copy

    Create a separate copy that aims to reduce file size while preserving a useful appearance.

  3. Keep the source and copy linked

    Make it clear which original image produced each optimized version.

  4. Compare visual quality

    Have a designer or asset owner check dimensions, colors, transparency, and any visible loss of detail.

  5. Approve before replacing an image in use

    Keep published assets unchanged until the responsible person approves the new copy and its destination.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A separate optimized image copy with its original still available for comparison and recovery.

The handoff

A separate optimized image copy with its original still available for comparison and recovery.

Keep in mind

Optimization can change image quality, transparency, or color, and file processing may involve sharing assets with an outside service. Confirm that the team is authorized to process each image, retain originals, restrict access, and require the asset owner to approve visual quality before a copy replaces a published image.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose source and review collections

Select where new images come from and where separate optimized copies should be placed.

Define acceptable image changes

Agree on the formats, dimensions, and quality expectations for the intended use.

Confirm processing permissions

Check that the team may use the selected images and that their handling meets privacy and licensing expectations.

Test varied sample images

Compare photographs, graphics, transparency, and large files before approving the process for routine use.
