Image management software

published by Shooter5150 on Fri, 03/21/2008 - 6:26pm

Anyone know of a GOOD image management program that can track images NOT on a hard drive (stored on CD/DVD)?

Windows based, of course.

Thanks.

Do you use any of these?

I'm looking for testimonials as well as recommendations.

I use iVMP on my Mac. It is excellent. Microsoft bought the company and renamed the product Microsoft Expressions.

As far as I know microsoft pretty much just bought them for the technology. A lot of what IVMP could do you can now find in the Windows Vista OS. the Microsoft expressions Program also profited from IVMP. But as mostly with microsoft ( I really don't want to step on anyones toes or anything, it's only an opinion) they don't think things out. Anyway I have not tested expressions and will not say anything bad about it. I think you can get IVMP on version tracker though.
I use IVMP together with Bibble Pro. It works great and is really fast (on a mac power book most of the time).
