better photo organizer?

[JohnBaxter]

Hi Everybody,
Does anybody have experience with a good photo organizer? At the moment I am using Image Bird(v2005) (from IMOK-Software) and am very pleased with it. Unfortunately, my 90-day trial period has expired and before I am going to purchase it, I want to try other photo-organizers as well. I tried Picasa from google, but the software was very dissapointing (not so many features).

Does anybody have a good alternative? Or should I stay with the one I love?
Bye and thanks already for your replies!

John

Welcome to Photozo, John. I'm sorry I can't answer your question, but I know others will be able to help you. It appears you use a PC and I'm an Apple user. From what I hear, all these photo organizer programs seem to be a bit problematical from what friends tell me. I just organize my photos in different folders, based on Location where taken. For instance I have a Panama Folder that has sub folders in it for different locations or subject matter and that works for me pretty well. As your library grows so do the problems and I must admit I have problems finding some photos at times.

John have you looked at Photo Mechanics?? I have tried the trial version and it seems to work well, not big on editing features but most folks use PSCS2 or PaintShop Pro for editing.

I used to use Photoshop Album 2.0 but recently made a switch to iMatch. I've been quite pleased. This post on my blog details more about my switch to iMatch.
