Indexing JPEG using Fotostaion is both fast and easy. I have an online JPEG archive of all my stuff (which I can access on the Internet as well as upload to from any location) and offline archive for my RAW/PSD files on DVD/CD. Fot the archive I have a Win2k server and use the Fotostaion server apps (indexmanager and colorfactory). The fotoware system is not a database - it uses the IPTC/metadata which it loads into RAM for very fast searches. It generates all thumbnail and previews on the fly on the web. The standalone Fotostation Pro application is powerful enough for smaller archives and you can download a 30 day trial at www.fotoware.com Best Chris _______________________________________________ Prodig subscriber options - articles - links - calendar - items for sale http://www.prodig.org
