Using an appropriate system, the OP would only need one (1) application, that fits DAM and Raw editing. Keywording is transferred to CaptureOne - multiple picture view (each up to 400%) is embedded in COne, for sure. This was an absolutely killer feature that I loved!Īnother was the app’s keywords were incredibly easy to use. Holds an embedded SQLite db as mostly all db driven DAM. I checked out nearly every available Dam as a substitute to iViewMedia/MPSE - finally I ended up in just using CaptureOne both for editing and DAM, because after a use of over 15 yrs of iView/EM/MPSE I can do all steps as learned decades ago. If do not run Catalina right now and you have the MPSE/iViewMedia catalogues and not run the actual version of COne you may import the iViewMedia/MPSE catalog - on Catalina together with COne20 it is impossible because of system incompatibilities. The GUI and what you are convenient with from iViewMedia/MPSE is now implemented inside Capture One. There is no similar alternative with your "learned" features that were apparent in iViewMedia (Expression Media) MediaPro. It doesn't use a catalog, it just browses images in whatever folders they happen to be in.Īnother that can do all that, and much much more, is Graphic Converter. Bridge could do that, and as a benefit it's free. Is it a database type DAM?īut having said that, those needs are super modest. What do you mean by "catalogue"? I haven't used iView''s iteration in PhaseOne in many years so frankly I don't recall. I already had a look at ACDSee, CDFinder/Neofinder but somehow I still think iView was way better. And images from folder wont be moved to another directory/archive – Save single catalogue file wherever I want. … Manage all/most through keyboard shortcuts (especially rating, browsing catalogue, full screen mode,…) images in full screen mode and also zoom each image – I used it to choose the best image) – Compare images in full screen (in iView one could display 2, 3, 4. – Easily drag and drop image folders (canon raw) into catalogue – with fast rendering of preview images

I don't look for an all in one solution such as Capture One Pro or Adobe Lightroom/Bridge.

I used it primarily to view and make a selection from images after a shooting.Īs iView Media Pro isn't supported on macOS anymore I require a worthy alternative.

It was fast, lightweight and clutter-free. I've been a long term user of iView Media Pro and it was the perfect software for my needs and my workflow.
