Just ran across this.  If you are interested in trying something free, 
you might look at "IDS" at <http://ids.sourceforge.net/>.  It requires:

 * a webserver
 * Perl 5.00503 (may work with others)
 * ImageMagick (with PerlMagick) 5.2.2 or later 
http://www.imagemagick.org/
 * the Image::Info Perl module http://www.cpan.org/
