![]() ![]() Good reputation as well, probably next to iMatch from reading various forum.I don't know how many users will ever need this, so if you post a feature request we can see how many users +1 for it.I'm a big Photo Supreme fan and use it since its early days. It just does not do text extraction or full-text indexing. IMatch manages and makes searchable many PDF metadata tags, author, title, timestamps, keywords, copyright info etc. But in that case, full-text indexing is rarely needed, by what I know. managed alongside the images or video files. It's great to have project PDFs, documentation etc. Or who would be willing to pay for an IMatch add-on for this purpose.ĭoing full-text indexing will require some substantial changes to the IMatch database (in order to do the indexing, store the extracted words, deal with language-specific stemming lists which can get messy etc.Īs fair as I know, not that many users work with PDF or Office documents in IMatch. If not averse to adding additional searchable metadata like PDF document content indexing when there is a sufficient number of users who want this. ![]() ![]() If OCR is needed to extract text, this adds cost on top. The 3rd party PDF libraries which can index text in PDF files and have licenses to allow their use in commercial applications (like IMatch) are not cheap and require annual royalties. Which says a lot about the 200 million US$ per year Adobe marketing budget.įeel free to add a feature request in the feature request board. I frequently read reports in photography communities from people who switched from Lightroom to another RAW developer and are surprised that they get better results, and quicker. Many people prefer to just follow the lead of somebody else, hoping that she/he is right when she/he recommends a product If a prominent person endorses your products, this will generate a lot more sales.įinding the best product for your purpose can cause a lot of work (installing and testing multiple applications, spending a week or more with each.). This is why Adobe, camera vendors and others spend so much money on endorsers / ambassadors / influencers. Guess how many people after that went out buying a camera of this brand. In one of his presentations he told the audience this story and named the brand he were now using. He then moved to the digital world to a certain brand. I remember a well known german photographer using an analog Leica for many years until thieves broke into his house and steal all his equipment. Quote from: mopperle on November 24, 2021, 10:40:06 AM Nothing special or mind-breaking about that. "Indexing whole hard drives worth of historic images and render them instantly searchable without delay" is something most DAM software considers as a basic must-have feature. Many people only need very little DAM or, often, basically some simple cataloging program. Not all people need the extensive feature set of IMatch. IMatch works very well for many, but it does not work for everybody. Or has he/she worked with at least a dozen of these DAM systems for some months to know enough to judge all the others?Īs I always say in other communities and forums: "Whatever works for you is good". Systems costing from 100 US$ to 200,000 US$ (per year). I mean, when you look at the rather comprehensive list of DAM products at Capterra (no affiliation): I cannot judge products D, E and F when I have never used them, right? Based on my personal preferences, needs, my workflow and budget. I can tell when I used products A, B, C and X, which of these I like best. ? How many products did they work with? What features did they test? Honestly, if somebody makes ultimate statements like this (about any software, service or product) I always wonder how many other products he/she has worked with.ĭo they really know their stuff and can tell why product X is better than products A, B, C. There's nothing else which will index whole hard drives worth of historic images and render them instantly searchable without delay and with unlimited filtering." If anyone want to see the post it's by User 'uncoy' in this thread: Unfortunately they don't use Thread counts, but you will find the post under today. I want to reply on the DXO Forum if it's not accurate, but at this point I don't know enough to write an intelligent post. Is that an accurate statement? I doubt it's true but would like some expert opinion. Today he made this statement: ".would I agree that the catalogue portion (not the metadata editor) is worth $400? Astonishingly enough, yes. He has been pushing it as the only DAM that's worth a damn! There is a very outspoken professional photographer on their Forum who is a long time user of Photo Mechanic and has converted to their new Plus Version that includes a DAM.
