![]() Also would have to see how it plays with importing and interpreting existing catalog data from Portfolio. I guess I can download the demo and try throwing stuff at it and see what sticks. Portfolio wouldn't always generate a thumbnail, say, from newer unsupported raw file formats, but you could always import and assign whatever keywords deemed necessary. That ability to log in any file you threw at it is what made the no longer supported Extensis Portfolio my go to catalog since 1995. I spoke with them a few years ago about the need for photographers to not just catalog image files but every other sort of file that we often work with, and some we don't anymore but still want to catalog - everything from old Xpress files, InDesign, Illustrator, any form of PDF, all forms of video and all forms of audio as well, plus the ubiquitous Word and Excel docs and probably lots I'm not thinking of now. I spent a few minutes browsing the links you posted and cannot tell what file formats are supported and not supported. That said, I've been using NeoFinder for cataloging all my HDDs/images for a while now and am not sure PM+ will bring much additional functionality for my needs. I'm currently on PM6 and given it's 'only' $90 for the Plus upgrade, may go for it. I've been using iView and all it's subsequent iterations since it's inception in 2001 for my photography work.For those who may be interested, or have been waiting (a long time), Camera Bits have released Photo Mechanic Plus with DAM capability. ![]() I recommended it to my employer when I joined the company in 2007 and it became the core of our work flow. Now, I've been tasked to find a replacement. The choices are too limited or too expensive. I would like to consider Bridge, but it does not work well over the network, plus the cache system slows it down. I would consider Lightroom, but catalogs cannot be shared over a network without downloading to the client computer and it only reads RAW, jpg and Photoshop files. I don't see a DAM on the Plum Amazing website. I think a media manager is just too expensive to develop for the target market, which would be serious amateurs, small photo studios, and small teams in smaller corporations that cannot afford the huge dollars that some enterprise-class databases charge. I priced Canto Cumulus: $18,000 per year, for 5-seats, plus a maintenance contract.įor most users, Lightroom, ACDSeePro, CaptureOne (among others) would be the competition, but having used all of them, only Lightroom is truly a manager, but it only does photos.

A crowd-funded project might reveal the possibilities.Īnother consideration would be the Photo Mechanic Catalog (Photo Mechanic 6 Plus, currently in beta). It has been promised for years and now looks real. I'm not sure of the OP's requirements, other than a need to serve up images across a network, and apparently some other files other than photos? I am on Lightroom 6.14, which may have issues with Catalina. ![]() I agree that Photo Supreme or Neofinder would be my candidates in that arena, although I'm not sure Photo Supreme does your file types it does do most all image files, PDFs, doc files, video files and some audio. If your server could run on Windows you could consider Photools iMatch it's quite good (again, I don't know about non image files.might be time to separate those out?). HOW TO IMPORT MY WORK NEOFINDER CATALOG TO MY HOME COMPUTER WINDOWS One can use a web based method of accessing images from other devices on other OS's. I suspect there isn't a lot of interest in small multi user media management, especially for more than photos, which are kind of specialized in that the solution has to deal with all the photo metadata, sidecars, etc. I'd be inclined to push a bit further with Neofinder.Īnd since most shops all use Photoshop or other Adobe tools, they use Bridge. ![]() Unclear if that's a macOS or Neofinder bug you're referring to, but they can generally work around anything since they've been doing it since the program's origin cataloging CDs of images and such.
