Also worth considering is Microsoft Expression Media, formerly I-View Media Pro. Although it does not serve our needs at MoMA, I find it useful for organization and very fast access to thumbnails and enlarged previews for a small archive of several thousand images, providing convenient batch editing of metadata, etc. The Microsoft version is functionally unchanged from the last iteration of I-View. Here are links to both the original and new ?owners?:

I'm looking for some lower end (but not bottom of the barrel) image management/library software that's Mac compatible. It's not going to be for a huge number of images But there are enough images that i need to be able to keep track of archived files, working files, exhibit projects etc etc It's also probably only going to be used by a couple of people or so I don't need something large scale that will run with multiple users on severs, handle hundreds of thousands of images, or produce web front ends etc etc, but it needs to be sophisticated enough that I can work with some basic metadata, run searches and keep track of things and so on... This will be separate from our actual collections database and the images as part of the catalogued in there (though those images will also be an incidental part of what I'm looking to use the image management software for) thanks tim a Tim Atherton Assistant Curator (Archives & Research) Mus?e H?ritage Museum, St. Albert (780) 459-1594 tatherton at st-albert.net _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) To post to this list, send messages to: mcn-l at mcn.edu To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: http://toronto.mediatrope.com/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l
