Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but im wondering what people generally use for photo management? At the moment, i have nothing more intuitive than a folder structure but am ideally looking for something that allows tags and catalogues of my images. I dont have the need for something as elaborate (or expensive) as Lightroom however.
I have nocied Corel Media One Starter and Plus on www.corel.com, so may download the trial of that.
Any other suggestions would be welcome :)
Picassa is decent. I personally use Lightroom and love it.
Corel offers Ulead Photo Imact Explorer.
If you have Draw X3, the now Adobe-absorbed RawShooter Essentials is on the CD. It is a good alternative but must be hacked to keep it from dialing home to a vacant house.
There are dozens of packages out there. Microsoft offers a program called ProPhoto that is a download for free that allows some advanced tagging features.
ACDsee has some value packages for around 50.00 USD that do the job too.
Hi Rick,
Many thanks for the info. Im personally not at the stage of Lightroom yet, but for photomanagement, it looks invaluable for a professional photographer.
Dont actually have Rawshooter Essentialls as I went from CD12 to X4 lol
Just found Prophoto 2 on the microsoft pro site, will give it a download and see how it performs :) ACDsee Photo Manager 2009 looks interesting and appears to offer the features I need.
