Photo Album Software

mattyj1085 · 13 May 2009 at 13:30

Can anyone recommend me some photo album software to catalogue all my photos with tagging.

It needs to be multi user compliant so I can have it installed on 3 pc's with up to 3 users using and tagging the photo's at once.

If this is possible.... as I've spent ages searching but haven't come accross any yet.

Cheers

Web server version or local?

(Assuming you're using Windows) http://www.windowslive.com/Desktop/PhotoGallery

I haven't used it, so am curious myself. I also though Windows Media Center built into Vista could do it. I'll keep snooping.

Adobe Bridge and Version Cue?

With Version Cue CS4 and the new Adobe Drive, you can centrally manage shared project files, work in parallel with others using an intuitive version control system, track file status with comments, use Adobe Bridge to find files visually, search for XMP metadata, and host Adobe PDF reviews. Tightly integrated with specific Creative Suite 4 components, Version Cue helps creative workgroups easily manage shared project files — without leaving the design environment.

ThumbsPlus will do it, and also will allow up to 5 users to share the database over the network. Thumbs is actually one of the best image organisers I've ever seen. The problem is, it is a little pricey at $150 (about £100) for a 5-user license.

One of the features I really like is the photo comparison. I have duplicates and near-duplicates of hundreds of images. Thumbs find 'em all, lets you decide what to keep, and neatly organises the lot.

DL the trial version (30-day) and see what you think. I only bought a single-user license years ago because I wasn't aware of the multiple-user. Time to upgrade now!
