Did others check this out? Thanks Mike, That is a lot of bang for the buck,
By the way, Artesia is not a low end DAM. Canto and Portfolio both have desktop programs that cost under $500, which I consider Low end. Canto may be starting to compete with Artesia in its client server version, but I don't think so and I am pretty sure it hasn't caught up with its cost. There is also ACDSee, ThumbsPlus and PhotoExplorer by Ulead, which are a cross between image file browsers and a DAM. -- Trudy Levy Consultant for Digital Imaging Projects Image Integration 415 750 1274 http://www.DIG-Mar.com Membership Chair, Visual Resources Association http://vraweb.org Images are information - Manage them On 11/22/04 11:08 AM, "Mike Volmar" <[email protected]> wrote: > For a web accessible image management solution I recommend taking a look > at : > > http://www.4homepages.de/ > > Its got a number of useful features and seems to work really well. > > Jeff Evans wrote: > >> Hi Janice, >> >> For images alone, I am using Canto Cumulus.
