Arlen, Roelof

I agree with both of you

Hello Roelof,

have you ever tested Atomic View from AntZero?

Sigi

On the Mac side I can recommend Superduper. Also check out Carbon Copy Cloner and Chronosync

Hello Jim,

I was in a similar situation like you about 2 years ago. My recommendation is to:

1.  buy "The DAM book" from Peter
2. Read it at least twice
3. If you are like me I was overwhelmed by all the info and I read it a 3rd time and bought the DVD and watched that twice
4. I followed the advice from Peter and did not work on the past but started with the new pictures. Once I was sure what I was doing I sorted out my "history files"
5. Regarding files names - the key for me is that irrespective of how many files you have you need a numbering system that is kept in order by the computer, the simplest way is YYYYMMDD_#### - I do not need any names of photographers in it because I do not have a company where you want to see already from the filename who took the pictures.

Hello Jim,

I can not help you regarding your GPS question but I have a question for you. I understand that it is easy to find "Aunt Suzie" if you have it in the filename but what are you doing if you have on the same picture:

"Oncle Charly"
"Nephew Sam" and
"friend Joe"

are you putting them all in the file name?

Hello Leon,

iView or Expression Media as it is now called was bought by Phase One. You can download the latest version here: http://www.phaseone.com/de-DE/Downloads.aspx

Hello,

I do not know EM 1.0 - I am talking about EM 2.0 SP 2.

Siegfried

Hello Sossity,

you have 3 options in EM to rotate a thumbnail - see User manual page 26

1. "Soft" rotation - will rotate the thumbnail but NOT the file itself. This is done with the rotate buttons in the far-right side of the Header
2. Lossless .jpg rotation - will rotate the original file
3. Precision rotate - in the Image Editor

Hello Mike,

why don't you switch to EM2? I have used it with SL without problems.

Siegfried

Hi,

have a look at Ant Zero - I have tried the demo version and it works very well. I t will cost you Euro 59 - http://www.antzero.com/antweb/index.php

Hello Vaughn,

I only have my files on harddrives but I would burn the BD, keep the disc in the computer, open EM2 and point to the files on the BD. The moment you take the BD out of the computer EM2 will recognize it and indicate that when you open the catalog.

As said, I have not done that yet because I only use harddrives but that should work.
