i want my photo.net histor Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Guys, I'm after some software or a solution that performs a few basic tasks. I am scanning in my old negs and slides and want some way to catalogue them, and archive them on CD/DVD but still have a searchable database on the pc. I don't need any image editing features and will burn the CD/DVDs with my existing software. Is there anything that fits this bill? My thought is that there might be some freeware or shareware that might do this but don't know what to search for. Thanks, Rav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbreak Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 That would be the holy grail indeed. I'm up to 110 gigs of scans of slides, and I haven't started the negatives... ack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marymac Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 It isn't freeware but iMatch will do what you want for $60. It's got excellent image cataloging and keywording and allows you to store stuff on removable media like CDs and DVDs. Hopefully someone will come up with a freeware version for you but if not you could create a simple database in Access that lists each image, the number of the CD it is on and a few keywords if that's all you want.

peter_evans4 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 How about <a href="http://photoseek.sourceforge.net/">Photoseek</a> or <a href="http://www.bornet.es/archimage/">Archimage</a>? (I haven't used either myself.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_swanson Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Does picasa do what you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisher Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 It is worth a look on the <a href="http://imgseek.python-hosting.com/">imgSeek</a>. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanb Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 No, iMatch isn't Apple stuff - despite the name, it is a Windows product; the website is <A href="http://www.photools.com">here</A>. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leucas Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Since you're using Apple, why not use iPhoto? If not, where does it fall short of what you need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i want my photo.net histor Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 Bob, Who are you referring to? I don't and have never used an apple computer. Rav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiyen Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 The new photo.net feature of generating keywords is getting pretty confusing. This is the first time I've seen it generate a word taht doesn't even appear in the actual post. I second picasa. allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven_hsu Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I found Picasa pretty basic, too basic. Although fine for the occassionally user, it may not be for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
