Expression Media how-to questions

[dheaton]

What are photographers doing when using EM to find versions of the same image?
What is with the catalog size limit?  How do you get around that?

[dheaton]

How do you get EM to auto rotate the images like it does in other programs.  I know there must be a way.

David,
Lots of ways to find versions, none as easy as they should be.

1. run a find on the file name
2. Look for all images created on the same dat (date finder)
3. Find Similar images
4. Any other commonalities

Size limit is 1.8 gb, or probably 60,000 images.  Can be gotten around by splitting into catalogs.

As to rotation, it should show that.  Can you outline what filetypes don't rotate well, and what other programs show the file as properly rtated?
