Please recommend photo management software.Thank you.
Hi everyone,
I am looking for suggestions and advice about photo database management software.
I will be graduating as a veterinarian in February and plan to document my forthcoming cases, using photos and perhaps some videos. At this point in time I believe it will be useful if the software is available for Mac as well as Windows platform (see later why).
However, I am open to any suggestions regarding Mac-only or PC-only programs as long as they are professional, reliable, strong, fast and customizable.
The photos entering the database will be:
1. close ups (taken with or without flash) or
2. taken from a close range (about 1-2 m for pets or about 5 m for horses/cows),
3. except for cropping, brightness and sharpness adjustments, there will be NO editing
4. saved in RAW, TIFF or JPEG. (I am not yet clear about the differences between these however the software should be able to handle as many major formats as possible).
Ideally, the software would allow:
1. to create custom keywords and add descriptive comments for each photo.
2. grouping of photos based on different criteria, themes, parents etc.
3. fast search
4. custom search, based on a large range of criteria, including text
5. Mac-PC interaction: Allow me to explain this: I have 2 laptops (Mac & PC) onto which intend to install the software and if the working environment uses PC only software, I will have the PC with me, otherwise the Mac and the database is always at hand.
6. data attached to each photo will move with it when the photo is transferred to a different machine using similar software (see above).
Thank you for your time.
D.M.
You should take a look at iView Media or its Pro version. It is a cross-platform (Mac and Windows) program that is free of some of the stultifying limitations of iPhoto. For example, you can create multiple catalogs and you can easily catalog media (not just photos) that are not on the current disk, like media stored on CDs. It has very flexible cataloging features.
If they have not changed their licensing, you can buy one license to run both the Mac and PC version for one price. You can make one catalog and easily pass it between a Mac and PC with no translation or confusion. This would be much easier than trying to make it work with iPhoto and some other Windows program.
If you were to go the iView route, you would have to "sync" the data back to the photos so that they carry your keyword etc. data with them to other apps. I don't know if iPhoto embeds that info back to the photos, or if it stays in the iPhoto database only.
Photoshop Elements 4 is great on Windows, but the Mac version of Elements does not include the cataloging feature because it integrates with iPhoto. I'm not sure how smooth that all works.

Please recommend network management software
Hello!
I need help to find some network management software that will work with our switches. I'm running a network that has Cisco/Linksys managed switches:
10xSLM2008,
5xSRW208,
2xSRW2008MP,
1xSF 300-08
I was hoping there is management software (not the webview/web browser thing), that could do these things (in preferred order):
- connect to these by SNMP (or similar) to show me a little statistics on each port on each switch, along with connectivity between these switches.
- let me know which port knows which mac addresses, and maybe also the IP addresses of these.
- let me know which mac addresses uses most bandwidth
- ban a mac address
I'd be happy if anybody could give me an advice on what software to buy.
Best regards,
Lars E FodnesIt can't ban a MAC address, but that is what dot1x/port security is for. I'm not sure if your switches support it, but you can look into that from the switch standpoint.

Please recommend personal finance software for Mac that allows month to month analysis of spending by categories. Quicken on a PC was good at this. Mint seems very limited.
Quicken for Mac 2007 works just fine (and is said to be compatible with Mavericks). It is often denounced for not being "modern", but when something works, and does everything I want, I need a good reason to switch.
A few years ago (2011), I got that reason when I upgraded OSX and Quicken stopped working due to the absence of Rosetta. I switched to iBank. I used it for more than a year. It was cumbersome, they have no sense of a helpful user interface, but it "works". I found ONE feature that I liked: you can attach an image (or any file) to a register entry, so I can save receipts right with the register.
But when Intuit came out with the revised Quicken 2007 for Mountain Lion, I gladly went back. I found that being able to update stock prices right in the portfolio view (for those not automatically found online) was handy - in iBank you have to generate a report to see the holdings, and then you have to switch to a view of "Securities" then scroll down through that list to find your stock, then "edit" then change the price, then "Save" then go back to reports and re-generate the portfolio view. Also, if you enter a stock purchase in a Quicken register, the price you paid gets added to the price history for the stock (as of the date of the transaction). No such help in iBank. Most of the helpful UI features (like increasing the date with the + key) are glaringly missing in iBank. I find I am getting no more than about 3-4 keystrokes before having to move the mouse and click.
If you are considering sharing the app on an iPad, Quicken won't work, but I found that iBank for iPad doesn't work either. The interface is completely different from the Mac version, you can't do much with it, and if you have a stock whose price is $11.25 / share and sell 200 shares, you might find that $22.50 gets added to your cash in the account. (I actually made a few million dollars when it decided that 200 shares at $11.25 yielded $2,250,000.) Luckly, I received a refund for that app.
Depending on how the Mavericks switch goes, I hope to be able to stick with Quicken, but I am keeping my records up-to-date in both now, because I can live with iBank. I will just have to keep an eye on its arithmetic. -

What photo album software do you recommend for CS4 and/or CS5?
I want to do pagination, design and layout in CS4 (multiple photos per page, text, etc.) to create printable albums. These albums could be either social event or documentary purposed.
Many such photo album software programs are proprietary which obliges you to use a specific printer or lab. Are there stand alone photo album software programs out there, CS4/5 which allow you to create photo albums and then print your own albums or use a vender of choice to print your albums?
I've seen everything from $29 thru $400, and some which are priced beyond $800.
What is your favorite photo album software for CS4 and/or CS5?
Thanks for any help you may provide.It sounds like you are trying to create scrapbook pages ... if so then its quite easy just to create them yourself using Photoshop. You can purchase scrapbooking kits which will give you all the background papers and elements that you need to add to your page. There are also many free kits around ... a quick google search will show you lots of them
Sets of the pages can then be uploaded to sites that will print out a book ...
