Hi Ken I can't give an in depth opinion. I've only been looking at Breeze Browser for a few days and I've been mainly interested in its RAW conversion features. Even with this feature I'm reluctant to make judgements as I haven't shot enough RAW images under different lighting conditions to give the program a real try out.
It has a good 'look and feel' and is pretty easy to learn but it doesn't seem to be suitable for image management as it doesn't have search functions. The program can be used to add captions and keywords to images but some other prgram would be needed to carry out searching for images based on those keywords. However, it's certainly a nice image browser and it can be configured to load your favourite image editor direct from the program's thumbnails. Will I buy it? Possibly, but only if I can't get hold of version 1 of Pentax Photolab for RAW conversion.
