Digital BW, The Print

Because it relies on an external DB/ThumnailDB system, you can catalogue off-line things like DVDs and externalHDs, etc. No file number limit. I know of some who have 500,000 item catalogues. Live search, and it will search assets using folder-structure tagging. AKA: if a bunch of images are in a folder called "Richard Avedon," and you type that into the search box, all sub-images will show up live even if they weren't tagged with anything.

Walker

And what are its search options, can you search by keywording, etc? Any limits on number of files or DVDs? I have been using Extensis Portfolio, but it has limits.

For database (keeping track of client files), LR is great. I've used it for years and rely on it every day.

Especially when you can send to a ppd rip like ColorBurst or a hot-folder. I wish LR printed tif files instead of just JPGs for "print-to-file" though . . .
