I have currently close to 30000 pics taken with my DSLR, and the number of pics keeps increasing by hundreds every week. (And then there's all the slides and and films from the past few decades of my life that I would like to digitize...)
I'm looking for a suitable image management software to create a database (with metadata) of all the pics I've taken. One of the most critical functions - in my opinion - is the ability to handle multiple versions of the same picture in the database. Unfortunately I'm not aware a good solution that would do this and with a reasonable price.
Imatch ( http://www.photools.com ) comes very close to my requirements both in capabilities and price, but it lacks proper support for multiple versions.
Any good solutions known and in use?
Why do I have multiple version of one picture? I shoot everything in RAW, then when I get home I use Photoshop batch to create a full set of jpg's from the originals. If a pic is good enough I might put it on my web site and that means at least two versions - thumbnail and the actual pic. I might put the same pic also into the gallery here and it will be of different size in pixels. Plus any edited pic I will also keep a near full resolutiin edited tiff file. So quite a few version of one photo.
