Digital BW, The Print

Todd,
 I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but with Cumulus I'm able to catalog my
files (assets-cumulus calls then) in the catalogs I form with the software.
A thumbnail of the saved file will appear and can be opened up in any
program supporting that file extension (which includes its own viewer); even
if it is a .psd file but I guess if I wanted to just to see one layer of the
psd file I would have to open it with Photoshop , which a choice  the
program gives me when I right click on the file thumbnail. Hope this helps.
 Frank

When you ask if these programs can read layered images, do you mean to make
thumbnails of them? I think most of these programs can.

I know at least Portfolio and Iview Media Pro can thumbnail layered images.
Both are pretty easy to work with; you can just take a folder of images and
drag and drop them onto an open window and these programs will thumbnail
them. From there you can sort them by various criteria. There very helpful.

I'm not a heavy user, so I can't tell you which program is really better,
but my current preference is for Iview Media. It seems a bit faster, has a
slightly more robust feature set than Portfolio, and it can display lots of
file types, like MP3s, PDFs, etc.

I wonder why your efforts with layered images failed. Maybe you need to
allocate more RAM to the program if you are using it for large files. Or
perhaps something was set in the preferences to only *display* certain file
types, like jpegs, or something screwy like that.

For the PC I think there are a couple that are said to be good and are
reasonably priced, I think one might even be free. I think one is called
Thumbsplus, and the other Infranview. Something like that....
