I mean I understand the subscription based will get new features faster but some people online say it is missing key functions that have been there for a long time but others disagree Picktorial - has subscription based or purchased but there seems to be confusion as to whether the purchased version has the same capabilities as the subscription based. PhotoMechanic seems to be AWESOME at ingest, metadata application & culling but doesn't seem to really be a DAM that is useful at finding/grouping photos for later use. It seems to be able to do IPTC/XMP but it's kind of klunky from what I can tell It seems to be designed to have the metadata methodology be for ACDSee apps to talk to each other via ACDSee Metadata vs.

Plus it seems like they do IPTC kind of as an "also ran" instead of the main way to do metadata.

ACDSee - concerned that they are more of a Windows shop than a Mac shop. well at least as far as I can tell before it crashes on me). Plus, I'm not sure I can deal with their inability to use the folder structure to navigate the photos (like I can't select two folders in the sidebar and be able to view all of those in the main part. I got a little spooked by reading the forums about problems with large collections (with lots of keywords) and their. CaptureOne keeps crashing on me so I haven't been able to evaluate it much and support has been less than helpful (even pre-pandemic timeframe). They say more is coming but I've been holding my breath for too long already on that one. I was holding out hope for Luminar but what they call a DAM seems to only be a glorified file browser. Been there, done that, learned from it, never will do that again. Portability of metadata - I don't want it trapped in the software. Keeps my existing directory structure instead of moving them into their databae (like Apple's Photo app) Needs to be able to read/write standard IPTC based metadata DAM + editor would be a bonus but I'm fine with doing a standalone DAM as editors seem to be an easier nut to crack. Large collection - 300,000+ photos (mostly JPEG but doing more and more RAW) not Adobe (I hope to retire soon and I don't want years of photo work and ability to continue to do photo work to be held hostage by my ability to pay or not pay, especially in this uncertain world.) My other question is: From the lengthy list below, are there any that y'all can help me eliminate given the functionality I'm trying to duplicate? So, the fundamental gist of my question is: What DAM out there is the most similar to MediaPro? Especially if you were a MediaPro user, what DAM have you migrated to? The more research I do, the more packages get added to the list to try.
ALIEN SKIN EXPOSURE X N SOFTWARE
I've been beating my head against the wall for months evaluating different pieces of software to do the job and I still haven't landed a solution yet. However, PhaseOne has decided to end-of-life it and not create a 64-bit version so I have to change to something else. For me the point of metadata is to be able to document the picture AND find what I need later and create virtual groupings. You can filter on multiple criteria, etc.

I LOVE IT! It's rock solid and does all I need it to do.

I'm trying to give as complete of picture as I can so I don't waste people's time in a lot back and forth posts trying to get the big picture of what I'm asking.įor my DAM I've been using PhaseOne/CaptureOne's Media Pro (formerly iView before they sold out to Microsoft who then sold it to PhaseOne) since 2005.
