Which image database software do you use?

I tried Thumbs Plus (v.7, supports 16bit images!), PS Photo Album and Portfolio. I found T+ very nice.

iPhoto

Isn't iPhoto only for MAC?

Fred.

[Sasq]

why, yes, yes it is

Not fair! Dan gets all the nice stuff (Mac, fat pipe...) and I'm stuck here with my Duron

(Actually, it's OK. A little more RAM would be nice, but it's really fast enough. And 768K downstream is fast enough, too - though I'll probably change carriers and get 2Mb for less).

ACDSee7...used it ever since v.2 and loved it

[Fred H]

Installed the ACDSee7 but I never should do that.
It re-associated a lot of file suffixes, icons, views in .zip files etc.
It didn’t help to uninstall ACDSee7. Thanks to Ghost I could reset my system.
Out of these I experienced some issues in creating web photo albums.
Now, I stay with Jasc PSP9 and Jasc Photo Album 5.

i use acdsee as well. actually i just use it for resizing and organizing all my files.

i know what you are talking about though when talking about uninstalling it. its a bitch.

CompuPic here

[Fred H]

I never experienced such a program which irreversible associates so many files as ACDSee does, except one: Winsplit. (WARNING)
You have no chance to reinstall if you do some mistake by installing these programs. A Ghost first is a must, before installing.
Anyway, I’ll try it again (I’m just curious). It has a lot of pros, however.
I like the Red eye remover. It is better than in my favourite PaintShopPro.
For only resizing and organizing photos is PaintShopPro good as well. PSP8 is a bit slower than PSP9 but PSP7 is very fast & competitive.

I'd like to find an organizer for web album which can link the components in a ***.htm file other than index.htm.

Installed CompuPic Pro 6.23 Trial.

Wow. It IS what I want.

Thanks KvH for the tip

Picasa (presumably similar to iPhoto) from Google (they scare me )

[Fred H]

Can Picasa read/show .RAW, .NEF or .DNG image files?
