You can use media in Microsoft Expression Media catalogs to create slide show presentations, print multi-image reports, export into one of several export options, as well as calibrate them in order to enhance their color, brightness, or other visual characteristic.

So - I give it one star because the software seems like a great idea but it's not cheap and it doesn't work!!

Wow, the price is historical!

Agree the price is over the top, especially as nothing much has changed except the ownership multiple times.

How do you want to work with this to compare two pictures, my memory is not so good, above all when the change are tiny.
Yes I know there is the "table lumineuse"....but....
Wait to see this largely improved, for the rest...good as was iView Media Pro.

Still needs a lot of work, I don't see much improvement over the previous version. Phase One claims that it runs faster which I don't is the case. I ran this version against Expression Media 2 on my Mac Pro and honestly I could not tell the difference! The only thing I noticed it got fixed is now shutter speed and aperture is showing correctly. I am still not happy the way this application opens high resolution images, when I double click on the image it takes 2 seconds or more to render completely!! Media Pro opens the image pixelated and after 2 seconds or more image becomes clear. Very annoying. For the stability I cannot comment but it did not crash on me while it was loaded on my computer. Lastly still missing three features on the image editor. I can see that Phase One is working on this application but their progress is very slow and I am not sure if I am willing to spend more money on version 2.

On a brand new Snow Leopard Installation, I had MediaPro make several catalogs.. most from 24-125,000 high res jpegs, photoshop and eps files. Side by side, Expression Media performed dramatically better. Media Pro crashed a number of times on me.
Save your money till they really put some effort into making this a better program. It is lousy at rendering eps files. I will keep using it, but it's literally Expression, with seemingly more bugs and sporadic crashes.
The first catalog I had it make over 128,000, it CHOKED... it works... barely... but it's SLOW... This is beta software, shouldn't be being sold yet as a finished product..
I'm rating it low on features, since they didn't add any... Same for Value and Stability.
Overall-2
Features-1 (didn't add any...)
Ease pf Use-Excellent... nothing changed..
Value-1-Keep your money, wait on version 2.0
Stability-1- substantially more crashes than with the same images that work fine in ExpressionMedia.

Didn't know anything about the CaptureOne acquisition, until I tried running iView/ExpressionMedia under OSX Lion - it appears that they're not really compatible, and crash when generating a preview.
Didn't hesitate a bit getting the MediaPro version. To my mind, it is definitely worth the -modest- upgrade fee, although the changes in the UI (black) are rather superficial. Working with Lion is significant, though. Clearly, however, this could be a much better program if written from scratch, but that's my 0.02 worth.

I am not a professional photographer, but I wanted a digital photo archive that could do many things iPhoto can not. Among them: share the database with others using a Windows version of the client. So far, I have found the current version of Media Pro to be stable, powerful, intuitive, and (even) aesthetically pretty classy.
This is my first review for MacUpdate, motivated by the relatively poor and (in my opinion) silly and/or off-base reviews of Media Pro that have come before this. I am really pleased with what PhaseOne has done with Media Pro so far, and I suspect many others are to.
