Extensis Portfolio		Oct 23 2008

RBGPHOTO  Having read all of the comments on Portfolio and iMedia, I would question how valid the responses were... it seems to me that there's someone out there wanting to bag Portfolio and promote iMedia. Maybe I'm a skeptic but I think it's a shame if that's the case. There's better ways to compete with one another.

I'm a professional photographer and getting valid, UNBIASED views would be appreciated on forums and I hope this is the case with this forum. However I'm inclined to ignore it as it seems too biased for my liking.

If you want to have constructive criticism fine. I have used all the database software so if you do make comments it's good to be clear and concise and compare the two, not just make sweeping comments.

I'll go elsewhere to find better comments, pros and cons, about the various photography databases out there.

Shame,

RUBAIYAT  Well I guess you could list me as one of those "bagging" Portfolio, but I have given my reasons.

iView Media Pro is a very nice cataloguer, much more user friendly than Portfolio, especially as every new version of Portfolio required you to update older file versions and wouldn't open later versions from other users. This puts it into the unusable category for me, added tot he persistent crashes when it hits files it doesn't like. An amazing time waster in fact.

Unfortunately IMP was taken over by Microsoft, and had an Achilles heels, in that it will not catalog CS4 .ai files with .pdf preview and crashes when it hits one.

I am still looking for a good cataloguer, that covers all my image files, reliably.

That is definitely NOT Portfolio.
