Since one needs to store images after scanning this seemed like the best
group to post this question to.

What software are you using to catalogue images? I have 1/2 of a filing
cabinet of 35mm transparencies & BW to scan. But I also want to catalogue
them into various categories and sub categories. Eventually it would be
ideal to print labels to apply to the slide holders themselves.

What specialty cataloguing software is being used? (NSCS Pro, PhotoQuote,
Cumulus, etc)

What other software have people used and modified for their own purposes
(Adobe Elements, Word, Excel, Access etc)?

Thanks in advance, Grant

ThumbsPlus. It's proper database software and will do almost anything
you ask of it in terms of cataloguing.

Thanks for your notes, I think I will stick with Thumbsplus in the short
term. I have not tried it for cataloguing so far, simply for viewing
thumbnails.

If you really, really want a lot of flexibility (and the associated
learning curve), Imatch is hard to beat (and at $50 it's cheap.) I bought
it because I wanted to be able to move my images offline (to DVDs) and
still be able to preview them in something bigger than a thumbnail.
(However, generating the offline cache required to do this takes a while,
especially if your files are 4000 dpi scans.)

I switched to Imatch a few years ago after trying MANY other catalog
programs. Imatch is flexible and comprehensive and efortlessly handles
my 7,000 image database. Program support is great, updates are issued
several times a year and the price is unbeatable at $49. It's an
excellent value.

Also, you can download a fully functional demo version to try it out.
All of the options and features may seem daunting at first, but it is
well worth persisting through the initial learning curve.

You should use a cataloguing software, which is based or can use IPTC
labelling. The software should extract this from the images and build an
automatic catalogue. Otherwise you never get rid of your actual choice.

I have written down a system like that, but it is in German. If you can read
it, you may ask me for sending.

Thanks Dan. I will make use of the demo and compare against Thumbsplus.

Will it allow printing to Avery labels that can be applied to a slide frame?
