Photo Supreme

Hi Frank,
I mainly use the following software:
- PSU for Digital Asset Management
- Picture Window Pro (raster editor)
- Fast Picture Viewer for culling/rating images AFTER the ingestion phase
- occasionally Photomatix, for tone mapping

Since I work both on film and digital, I use two distinct ...

Tom,
thank you for your clarification, which I find very useful.
I looked a bit more into how these two DAMs manage metadata and I summarize here my findings.

Both platforms cover a very large set of XMP metadata, which can be easily accessed in a panel on the right ('Details' in PSU, 'Metadata' in ...

I am carrying on some tests on PSU and LR4 . Actually, I have my photo archive on both platforms and I can manage quite well keeping metadata aligned (but not version sets, unfortunately.
I know I will have to decide in a few months which DAM better fits my workflow, but in the meantime I would like ...

Ok, I just opened a feature request in Mantis.
In the meantime I'll live without it.
Thanks,
Maurizio

Hello,
thanks for your quick reply, however this does not solve my issue, unfortunately. Importing a single file requires browsing the file system to select the file I want to import . This is what I intend to avoid. Why should I navigate the file system when I already have in the light-table the ...

Hello,
I try to navigate my images using the Catalog whenever possible. This is the big advantage of using a DAM rather than an image browser.
However, in one case I need to switch back to the Folders view: when I edit an image with a raster editor and need to import the new image in PSU.
My ...

Very helpful, thank you!

Hello,
in order to make a batch rename of a large set of images, I'm building my custom batch command.
I saw that it is possible to embed a script into the file names rules

This is one of the great advantages of PSU over its competitors.

So I put my own script in %code, in order to ...

By mistake I had tried the "File Name to Catalog Label" instead of "Folder Name to Catalog Label".
The script works fine! Just need to comment out

//Progress.UseProgress;

I also added the line:

APath.Insert(0, 'STORAGE');

after APath.Delete(0); in order to create a "root" label 'STORAGE' in ...

Just tried the script.
An error occurs on line 43: "Unknown member identifier: "Use Progress".
Commenting this line the script runs till completion (a message "finished" is shown), but nothing seems to happen in the catalog.

Not yet, I'll try it now!
Thanks
Maurizio

Hello,
I find the import option "Create catalog labels from folder names" very useful in my workflow.
However, it would be great if I could do this whenever needed (e.g. after modifying the folder/file structure) and not just at import time.
I remember on IDImager there was a FolderToLabel script ...

Now it's much more clear!
Thanks
Maurizio

Thank you for clarifying all!


4. When setting custom thumbnail information, e.g. when I write exif:UserComment, where this information is read from ? From file or from catalog?

The %exif macros show you Exif, like the name says... Exif is read from the file.


Just another question:
do the ...

Hello,
I have a few questions about metadata handling. Maybe I could find the answers with some tests, however I think it could be useful if this could be clarified in the forum.
So lets's start:

1.
The "Details" panel is showing metadata which are read from files or from the catalog ?
2.
In "Image ...
