I really like iView as a cataloging system. It will do lots of things including preparing photos for a backup CD-R, if that is what you are looking for. You can download the software from http://www.iview-multimedia.com and try it for a couple of weeks before buying the access code. It is about $50.
Give it a try,
Bob

Thanks for your reply, am downloading it. Added question, if I save my image in photoshop psd, do I lose the EXIF info. Thanks.

iView is nice, but no browser. I have both Ulead Photo Explorer and ACDSee. I can't really decide which one I like better, but I likely lean toward Photo Explorer. It is also half the cost of ACDSee.Hi

Kinda depends upon if you're using this for casual or heavy duty work.
Obvious first thought is using iPhoto - it's free. "iPhoto - The Missing Manual"
by David Pogue is a great book, and includes a chapter on creating and
managing libraries. It's a nice program, and with an upcoming 1.5 version,
will only get better.
If you've got a lot of files, and need ultimate flexibility for searches, backup,
etc., Cantos Cumulus is probably the choice (or Portfolio 6, though I've never
found it that great). However, the single user version of Cumulus won't be
native OS X until January 03.

I had to test it. If I ask iView to convert the .jpg photo to a .psd file, iView makes a new .psd file in a new/other folder. When I look at the .psd file with iView I don't see any EXIF data. However, my original .jpg photo file is untouched and available.
Not sure if this helps, but I hope so.

Porfolio tends to get real slow to me at around 4 to 5000 photos. IPhoto starts slowing down around 2000. What software can handle say 25000 or so photos?

I use Cumulus (single user),and I cant understand why they have not done a OSX version. (yet)
Im going to have a look at iview.
I (like most people) dont like changing databases in mid stream.

As I can see that you are shooting lots of fashion photos, What works best with handling ALOT, ALOT of photos (say 50,000 or so) with out choking. Including keeping track of photos on multiplaces harddrive/server/CD archiveing. And is fast and through.

That helps me out. Its not that I will need to keep 50000 photos live on my hard drive which I have not even shoot that many yet. Its just that I have shot like you have around 10,000 or so and when I want to browse for the perfect one that would fit a artical some times its faster to reshoot a shoot than go through 100 to 200 CDs. It would be nice to have thumbmail browser that I could keep online to find photos fast. And All software I have use so far chokes (gets very slow) at around 3000 photos.As an experiment, I put over 12,000 photos into one data base.
iView Media Pro handles this with ease. 60,000? I have no idea.
Thanks for your advice. I will definatly try it out. dc
