Re: I am thinking of getting rid of Lightroom

2012-01-17 by Clayton Price

Hi -
I've been reading all these lightroom discussions, and interestingly, nobody has mentioned Expression Media, which was known as iView before 
Microsoft bought them out. And now I understand that one of the digital back companies has purchased the company. I've been using it for a
long time, and don't really take advantage of all it offers, but will say that it's a very good data base, with much more capacity than Light Room, 
and it handles a large number of profiles, including DNG.

It does not replace using Photo Shop and/or Camera Raw, but is terrific for organizing and searching, adding key words into the metadata, and 
a lot more. At least for me, since I've used PS from its' beginnings as well as Camera Raw when it was introduced, Light Room seemed okay,
but still doesn't solve my data base problems, so the combination of those with Expression Media still simplifies my process.

Is there something about it that I've missed?
