chris_kuettner Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 Any recommendations on a software package that displays thumbs, allows basic manipulations, batch functions, and otherwise acting as a front-end for photoshop??? Please don't recommend ACDSee....I've used that program for awhile, and now that I'm processing >2000 images per month, I find it very clunky and slow. I know there are several indexing programs aimed at the professional photographer, just havn't found any specifics yet. Any help would be appreciated. Tnx, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majid Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 <a href="http://www.photools.com/">IMatch</a> is the best such program on Windows (n Mac version, unfortunately). Its <a href="http://www.majid.info/mylos/stories/2002/06/29/imageCategoryManagementWithImatch.html">category system</a> is in itself a good reason to prefer it to the competition (for professional level tools, mostly Extensis Portfolio and Canto Cumulus).

ptucci Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 I like PolyView from PolyBytes.com. Shareware, but fast because it doesn't have too many bells & whistles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean de merchant httpw Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 Try the file browser in Photoshop CS. It has the best performing browser I have run into when dealing with large numbers of image and when dealing with large images. Unless you are looking for indexing features, that is the way to go. If you want indexing features, then I recommend MySQL/PostgresSQL, PHP, and Apache with a web browser for your front end if you have any programming skills. This will give you a database for you images that actually meets your needs rather than some random attempt at creating an imaging database by someone who apparently does not have one and did not consult anyone with one.

gpdno Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 iView Media Pro. Worth the money. I tried Canto Cumulus but was very disapointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christopher_auman__archivi Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Has anyone tried Picasa from Google? I just stumbled over this today. I am a Google lover and tend to think that anything they do is great. As I said though I know nothing about it and would like some opinions. Maybe we could give it a spin and open a separate thread to discuss the results. http://www.picasa.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
