Insight Models

As we examined various triage sessions, we felt that the original definition of "select desirable photos and discard unwanted ones" was not sufficient to describe the varying nature of triage as it occurs throughout the digital photo lifecycle. The following models show our updated understanding of the Digital Photo Lifecycle with emphasis on the four triage types we defined during our research consolidation: pre-sharing triage, co-triage, on-the-fly triage, and audience triage.


Triage Types

Various types of triage that occurs throughout the digital photo lifecycle.



Triage Influences

Many influences that affect the triage decisions.



Sharing Synchronicity

Relationship among number of people involved in the audience, the passive/active nature of sharing, synchronicity of sharing, and the sharing medium of digital photos.
