For a very long time, I’ve been looking for a software solution for image archiving with tags/keywords. I sure like the way Lightroom or Picasa handles tags and other metadata, but it’s not enough. I cannot rely on a single software. I need a software-independent archiving system. For now, I’ve used a folder-based archive, which is not too handy, but at least it’s reliable and can be interpreted by any operating system or program.
Yesterday, I found a program by Microsoft. By Microsoft? Could it be of quality? I had my doubts, but had to try it, since it could potentially support folder structure. And for my surprise did use a database AND folder structure – wow! I’ve been looking for this all these years and finally found it from Microsoft? Well, I’m still testing it, but for now it seems like the only solution offering the kind of archiving I’m after. Plus, it has a good viewer and basic editing functions. The free version seems to offer everything I need, but if I get addicted, I’m willing to buy this program.
If you’re after a folder-based image archiving program with keywords, I suggest you take a look at this sweet little program.
