Best Photo Management Software? Any tips? 2

[davegmail]

I have many digital photos, plus more to be scanned into many categories - scouts, computer subjects, church, etc.

I would like a professional level software to manage them - retrieval, uploading to websites for sale, watermarking them, etc. What works best for you?

Thanks, Dave

Start out looking at a free option:

Jim - thanks, I know about Picasa, but I really need a pro level software. I did some research. I'll keep looking for it in professional photography websites & magazines.

You do realize that 'retrieval, uploading to websites for sale, watermarking them, etc.' is possible even with Picasa, right?

Can you be more specific about what you need?

I too suggest Picasa and don't understand what "pro Level" functionality you need.

Can you be more specific?

Check out LightRoom .. or Google Photograph Management Software

(when did picasa jump to pro level?)

Google Photograph Management Software

Excellent advice. Is it any surprise that the first result in such a search is Picasa?

When did davegmail explain what pro level functions are needed?

Hi, if you need the very best, I think Lightroom (2) is the one for you. But you must do everything throuhg it. Files are not immediately compatible, they must be exported for use elswhere.
For my part, I use Thumb+ (

for many years and it is very "customizable" and even compatible with MS Access database. What I like particularly, it's the fact you keep control of everything the soft can do.

cebebe - that is something I am looking for. I'll check back. This may take about 2-4 weeks. Sorry, but busy.
Excellent! Thank you!
