DiVisual Mapping System will change they way condition reports are registered and produced in galleries, museums, conservation studios and so on. It takes common tasks of conservators and takes it a step further, streamlining processes giving art conservators a very versatile and reliable tool for their daily work right at hand.

The DiVisual „Mapping System“ will dramatically reduce the time needed to draw a map for condition reports on a computer.
Beside it will also increase the accuracy of the condition map since you are able to zoom in to the image and register even smallest details.
The use of the Mapping System MSv9 is super simple and bullet prove. All you need to do is to click a button, register a damage or treatment and confirm what you have done.

Features

{slider Drawing and registering}

The core suit of tools are giving you the possibility to register the condition of the art work on layers separated by theme (damage types such as scratches, stains, losses, deformations, etc., etc.,). Damages are strictly kept on separate layers for easy interpretation and printing out if necessary.

{slider Condition report history}

After registering an art works condition it will be locked away as a history state. This is happening within the same map file, allowing you to have all history states at hand when ever you need them.

{slider Conservation treatment / treatment history:}

Registered damages can be marked as treated as a whole or in parts. This is happening in separate layers within the treatment history. All treatments are marked with an automatic and unique time stamp assuring, that the moment of treatment can always be tracked back.

{slider Metadata}

Metadata on the art work is stored within the map file. In the metadata header of the file. Information, such as artist, work title, dimensions, material, inventory number, etc. is stored and will travel with the file where ever it will be stored or sent to. This way the map file can always be related to an art work in the collection and in a collection management system.

{slider Database connectivity}

The Mapping System MSv9 is able to connect with collection management systems such as Museum+ RIA and exchange information on the art work and its condition.

{slider Modules}

The Mapping System MSv9 offers a suite of modules for different art works.
At the moment, mapping modules for *paintings", "polychrome sculptures", "work on paper" and "textiles" are available. Other modules will be developed and released upon request. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have a specific request or need.

DiVisual® Mapping System Alert!

Adobe has continuously developed its Photoshop software. This has involved several changes to the system architecture, which meant that we had to reprogram the DiVisual® MS plugin each time. The DiVisual® MS plugin is no longer compatible with the current version of Photoshop 2026.

We have therefore decided to declare the plugin open source software. If you would like a licence-free version for Photoshop 2025 or older, please send us an email.

If you are interested in further developing the plugin as open source software, please contact us to discuss your ideas.
