In 2006 I adopted SureThing Photo Pro - which is now incompatible with W7, but brilliantly output to disk and any website a bundled, portable, photo archive package, with SEARCH, captions, tags, sorts, etc. I don't see any genealogy app that can do that, but Picasa may come close, with the new advantage of face recog, and video files, plus free storage. I have nearly 2000 images scanned back to the mid 1800's, which need to be re-indexed by something fast, cheap and good! Whew. Any other options?Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02239648951233991843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-34256412841466020722010-11-19T09:23:46.881-07:002010-11-19T09:23:46.881-07:00Thank you.

Where does Adobe Lightroom fit into this discussion.<br />For secure storage and sorting I use www.recallwhen.com when I can upload high res photos and *key* be able to download them at same resolution. I can have unlimited photo albums and unlimited photo storage for a pittance. I also can then create heritage albums and genealogy projects.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-68588711321297176242010-11-17T17:55:04.889-07:002010-11-17T17:55:04.889-07:00Being a more advanced user, I actually run a virtu...Being a more advanced user, I actually run a virtual linux machine on my main desktop specifically to use the great opensource (i.e., FREE) photo management package, digiKam ( http://www.digikam.org/ ). Why? digiKam's ability to write metadata like who is in the photo, who took it, a general description, etc., directly into the file using open-standards tools.<br /><br />They're playing with face recognition, but they have a long way to go. (YAY, Picasa!) Anyway, it's a tool worth looking at, albeit not really for the basic user.Greg Lambersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05302585454539358769noreply@blogger.com
