I haven't found one that suits my needs as yet. DannyRaphael 06-20-2002, 09:11 AM At the moment I'm not using any 3rd party product, but I've read that among the most popular are ACDSee (http://www.acdsystems.com/English/Products/ImagingProducts/Featured1/index.htm) and Thumbs Plus (http://www.cerious.com/thumbsplus.shtml). I'm sure there are other favorites and, like you, look forward to seeing who like what and why. GR-EAT topic, Stewart. Welcome to Retouch Pro. ~DannyR~ Jakaleena 06-20-2002, 09:12 AM I'm in there with those who don't use cataloging software. I catalog/file my images (which are mostly negatives) by hand in file drawers. What does one look for in cataloging software, and what are the benefits of using it?

You also get a fairly nice paint program that comes with this browser! :tongue: :wavey: DannyRaphael 06-20-2002, 01:14 PM Good point, BK... How about some PS7 folks weighing in on usefulness / performance / functionality, etc. of the new Photoshop 7 image browser? If you're not using it, why not? (Don't like it? You have something better? Other?) ~DannyR~ Doug Nelson 06-20-2002, 01:16 PM I use the Photoshop viewer, and like it, but it's pretty slow for cdroms (can't write the little db file it needs for speedy future visits). stewartbootles 06-21-2002, 04:29 AM Hello Thanks for the warm welcome I`ve just downloaded fotostation from www.fotoware.com And Portfolio from www. extensis.com I give you my opinion when i`ve played around with them a bit At the moment fotostation seems to be winning in the ease of use I tried a demo of thumbs plus but it kept crashing i wrote to them but never got a reply so i unistalled it It seemed to be a little bit chunky for me also The browser in ps7 is handy but real sloooow Especially on new scans with high res and still in 16bit mode Also it`s a shame you have to open a file before you can add file info it would be much better if you could do it within the browser oh well hopefully you will in 7.5 when it comes out i made my bones in Paint Shop Pro 4 and the browser in that was much faster |
