Title: managing which photo database?
Post by: santa on December 07, 2009, 08:02:41 AM
I have tried a lot of photomanagement software, and none of them are any good.Latest I have tried photoshop C3, and photoshop elements 8, and they both get terribly slow when your photodatabase get over 500 photos.And mine is above 6000.Has anybody out there knowlegde of better software for management of large databases?

Merry Xmas,
Santa

The best are Lightroom and Aperture.

iPhoto is pretty good for amateurs.

You might want to take a look at iMatch (http://www.photools.com/products.php). Note that it's a "one-man" business not a company so that casts a possible shadow on long term support. However long term support isn't guaranteed by many commerical products either!

Picassa is very good for a free photo organizer

Extensis Portfolio has a 30-day trial version
