DAMsimple uses the following DAM applications for every job. We strongly recommend you download and try them on test images before purchasing to make sure they suit your workflow.

iView MediaPro 3 Microsoft Expression Media

In 2006 Microsoft Corporation purchased iView Multimedia; the company that started iView MediaPro. iView is still available for purchase in some stores. If you registered your iView MediaPro license you will qualify for the free upgrade to Expression Media (valid until July 2007).

Expression Media is a Digital Asset Management (DAM) application that lets you review, sort, edit, present, publish and catalog all media types within one application. DAMsimple regularly tests and evaluates the latest digital management applications and Expression Media continues to offer the best balance of features and ease of use for the single user.

We use and recommend Expression Media because it has a simple, intuitive interface with a powerful feature set ideal for professional photographers, designers, and anyone dealing with large amounts of digital files. It includes powerful slide show presentations, custom annotation fields, support for RAW camera formats and compatibility with over 130 file formats.

Photo Mechanic

Photo Mechanic sets out to be the most useful Photo Browser on the market today. It does this by being logical in operation, intuitive in use and, most importantly of all, performing its functions as quickly as possible. Photo Mechanic is our first point of contact with our images. It automatically downloads, makes backups, creates folders, renames, IPTC captions and soft ejects the media card.

Photo Mechanic is not an image editor, it is not a RAW processor and it is not a cataloguing application. Photo Mechanic is about importing images, and then viewing and organising them as quickly and efficiently as possible.
