Lightroom cataloging features.

Dear members:

Now that iViewMediaPro has been purchased by Microsoft we can expect what
used to be a good and promising application to become worse and not better.

I have read somewhere that Lightroom has cataloging features but hasn't been
able to find articles or video tutorials on how to use it for this purpose.

Do any of your know of Lightroom tutorials (video or not) that focus on
using it for cataloging purposes ? How does Lightroom compare to iView Media
Pro for this particular task ?

Thank you in advance,

Joseph Chamberlain

This is an exact duplicate of a post to rec.photo.

It'd be appreciated if you did not multipost.

www.google.com would be the first thing I would try. And yes, I found
tons of them right after the official Lightroom was released (and many
before too).

You're quite welcome.

You and your colleagues discrediting Microsoft is becoming more and
more boring by the day, so much more because it is usually done
by people who can do no programming themselves. So, if you can do
better, please do, and if you can not, and can do without Microsoft,
simply do not use their facilitates and stop moaning.

What is the nature of your association with said company?

so you ASSume they will suck in the future so you want to throw out the
program now?
why not wait and see if that's true first?
perhaps they will IMPROVE the product??
or just keep XXX-uming things about the future and boycott MS products

I am a fan of MS
easy to use interfaces
good features and easy upgrades
no chance of company folding and leaving you out cold on your product
support
compatible with wide range of other MS products and PC users

yeah go to Adobe products
crash prone, resource hogs, compatible with nothing else, file formats no
one else uses
sidecars not linked to the files when moving etc
expensive upgrades, annoying protections, crash if you use system restore,
difficult re-install
easily corrupted files
and Lightroom is a beta release for money that should come with PS for the
$$
it is just fancy ACR

you too can wait 3 hours to see thumbnails in one folder when Windows file
system can make them in 25% of the time

First I don't assume anything but write from previous negative experience
with Microsoft. I have seen Microsoft discontinue Mac products such as
Internet Explorer and Virtual PC. I don't want to invest money and time to
learn a new application as is the case with iView Media Pro just to find out
that Microsoft has decided to discontinue it, or at least the Mac version of
the program.

I think you need to read posts more objectively and answer them in the same
manner. No one is bashing Microsoft here. However, they have a history of
operating systems that do not work (according to a recent report published
by the MI6 in London Windows is the most vulnerable and least secure of all
operating systems currently in existence) and Mac products that they choose
to discontinue.
