Microsoft Expression Media 2.0.1447

Microsoft Expression Media (formerly known as iView Media Pro) allows you to import photos direct from a digital camera or create catalogs simply by dragging and dropping. Microsoft Expression Media creates media catalogs containing thumbnails and annotations that can be viewed even when the original files are no longer on a mounted drive.

It also allows you to burn media onto a CDROM or back up media to a removable volume. Organizing your media into catalogs allows you to search and retrieve media, based on annotations (IPTC) such as caption, keywords or digital camera (EXIF) information. 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.

Version 2.0.1447:

“Create Hierarchical keywords” topic

The “Create hierarchical keywords” topic states that “you can create multiple-level hierarchies of your existing keywords.” This is in error. Expression Media does not support creating multiple-level hierarchies of your existing keywords.
MP3 album art
Expression Media 2 can read album art embedded in the ID3 tags of your .mp3 files. The album art will appear in the List and Thumbnail views in your catalog.
Virtual Earth and Expression Media 2
Expression Media 2 includes a Virtual Earth feature that enables you to plot the location of your photographs on a world map, if your photograph contains GPS information. Or, if your photograph does not contain GPS information, you can add GPS information to it by dragging the image to the map. In either case, Expression Media will position a pushpin icon at the Virtual Map location that corresponds to the latitude and longitude coordinates of the GPS information.
