My digital image "database" is getting pretty huge, so I'm looking for a good software package that will keep indexed, tagged catalogs of thumbnail images on a local hard disk and then allow for offline storage (e.g., USB drives or CD's, etc.) of the actual large scanned images or raw files. iView Media Pro looks good from the specs, but I'm looking for any user feedback. Thanks! Scott

I use it, and am pretty happy. However, my use is pretty basic: - I don't use tags. Too lazy to every tag pictures, so the tags sit there unused - I have about 15G of pictures (about 8200) back to 1999, from various digital cameras and scanners. Current camera is a D70. That said, what I do do: - I keep my images on my home powermac, and sync a subset (my 2005 directory, right now) to my laptop using an external sync program. - It's "Reset Folder Path ..." feature, is a lifesaver: when I'm running on a different machine, I just reset the top level path to my files, and all the sets are updated appropriately. It's hasn't lost a picture yet. - Since it keeps the thumbnails internally (which means my catalog file is 75M right now), I can still see all the images, even if I don't have them on my laptop. - It's hierarchical catalog sets are good. - I originally used it because it has editable HTML templates for dumping out catalogs. See the pictures at www.gracemacintyre.com for the catalogs I generated of my daughter. Since we had a second child this year, I'm switching to a blog format, but that was useful when I used it. - The date-based scanning is nice. I tend to skim pictures using the folder view and the date view, and only use catalog sets for "good" pictures I considered something more expensive, but never really tried the pricey programs. ivmp is nice and zippy with my collection. It's a bit sluggish displaying NEF files (as all programs are), but it's WAY faster than the Nikon programs, so that's saying something.

There's a good review of various packages at: http://www.impulseadventure.com/photo/flow-catalog-compare.html Personally I'm using Imatch. This is a program which has its quirks, but it will do everything that you're looking for, and is incredibly powerful. Much of its power is initially hidden. You have to explore. Also it is scriptable, so you can automate almost anything. F_P --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, Scott McLoughlin <scott@a...> wrote:

I am using Imatch which I really love. It has more features than I could possibly ever use, but then again, if my database size keeps increasing the same way I will just have to start think about some more advanced ways to keep up with it all.. they have a trial version over at photools.com remosito On Sun, 2005-07-03 at 08:54 -0400, Scott McLoughlin wrote: > My digital image "database" is getting pretty huge, so I'm looking > for a good software package that will keep indexed, tagged catalogs > of thumbnail images on a local hard disk and then allow for offline > storage (e.g., USB drives or CD's, etc.) of the actual large scanned > images or raw files. > > iView Media Pro looks good from the specs, but I'm looking for > any user feedback. > > Thanks! > > Scott > > > > > > > Please visit the Group Homepage to check the Files, and other > resources as they are often being updated. > > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint > > If you wish to receive no emails or just a daily digest, or you wish > to unsubscribe, please edit your Membership preferences by visiting > this same page. > > Please follow these basic guidelines: > - As threads develop, trim off excess portions of earlier messages to > keep them short. > - Good manners are required at all time.

Imatch seems both popular and economical. One question I have regards IE (Internet Explorer) as a system requirement. Why is this? I'm a happy Mozilla user. Much thanks. remosito wrote:

It will probably work with Mozilla just fine. I suspect they haven't tested it with Mozilla and don't want to guarantee it will work.
