item of the month - june2010


well, this month's item isn't really an item, but a little piece of software - expression media pro - that i spend more time with than with my wife at the moment. the reason is, the big annual photo edit is due and there's submissions to edit from about 100 photographers worldwide.
the number of submitted previews has already passed 100k again, so for previewing and editing i need a piece of software that is simple, does not generate huge piles of data and in the same time is reliable enough to safely juggle me through the picture jungle. i found this software already years ago, when it was still named 'iView media', before it was bought by microsoft.

in contrast to way more popular software like lightroom or aperture, this program concentrates on what it can do best (and what i need in this case): make easy editable catalogues of piles of previews. rate them (with colours and/or stars) and narrow down the mass of submitted pictures to a reasonable amount.

the editing process this year already takes longer than expected, yet i could not imagine how long it would tage without this little program...
