A 22 year old testimonial

[dcb]

I stumbled across a diary entry from 31 October 2002. IMatch remains the most valuable piece of software I own. It has been a pleasure watching Mario develop it across the years.

We are now taking digital photos at an ever increasing rate and have easily outstripped SLR use. With over 1000 photos on the PC (some from the digital camera, others scanned from the SLR), plus 40-odd CDs of video, it is important that we be able to find everything and catalogue it for future reference.  You can't write the date on the back of a digital photo.


We were using The Print Shop Photo Organizer which has been good up until now.  It's just taking a little too long to import photos into the catalogue and it can't handle the video CDs. But until yesterday, I hadn't been able to find an alternative.  Most didn't catalogue as well or they worked directly off the hard-drive.  Move a photo and all was lost.


Then I found IMatch and it does everything. I can catalogue quickly.  I can apply a description or title to multiple photos at once. It recognises the video files and tells me if they are not present (ie. the CD is ejected).  It will even create a pretty sexy web page of all our photos, not just what we've uploaded here.  Makes a nice cup of tea as well.  It's future proof because I can export in XML and read that into whatever I like if the time comes.

That's nice. Thank you.

And, without bragging, I can tell you IMatch 2025 will be the most bestest IMatch version ever

I agree with dcb!  

And I just answered a feedback query from Microsoft which asked why I use Windows, and my main reply noted that the IMatch DAM — indispensable! — only runs properly on Windows.

Every bit of "marketing" helps. I'd wish I had a 200 million annual marketing budget like Adobe...

Never doubted it.
