You might also look at Adobe Lightroom. Very capable, intuitive and powerful image manager. IMHO

Bridge can create a common cache of thumbnails that multiple users can view from different workstations...but with thousands of images in a single file-- yes- it would take time to load that cache.. User Forums are also good to listen to the hubbub of user feedback/complaints re: the new release of CS3. cheers-l. stearns -----Original Message----- From: mcn-l-bounces at mcn.edu [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Snyder, Rebecca Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2007 1:58 PM To: Museum Computer Network Listserv Subject: Re: [MCN-L] Digitial Image management software for Mac's Adobe Bridge would work (I personally don't know much about the others, but that's not to say they wouldn't work), but it you want multiple people to have access to the same files to run queries, etc then you will either have to have your files stored on a network disk that all can access from their individual computers, or have all who need access use a common computer that has both the files and the program. -Rebecca (NMNH) -----Original Message----- From: mcn-l-bounces at mcn.edu [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jeff Evans You might like Adobe Bridge or Canto Cumulus or Extensis Portfolio. All of them have demos you can download.
