[Web4lib] Photo archive software: summary of responses

[John Kupersmith]

In response to my recent inquiry about software for staff photo archives:

4 people mentioned Gallery/Gallery2
    < http://gallery.menalto.com/ >

2 people mentioned flickr, and another raised a concern about possible loss 
of control over the images with a web-based service.
    < http://www.flickr.com >

1 person mentioned Madison Digital Image Database
    < http://mdid.org/mdidwiki/index.php?title=Main_Page >

1 person mentioned Picasa
    < <http://picasa.google.com/>http://picasa.google.com/ >


Also, one of my colleagues searched listservs in the areas of editing and 
publications, and found favorable mention of the following (interestingly, 
zero overlap with Web4Lib suggestions):

Portfolio (Extensis)
    < http://www.extensis.com/en/products/asset_management/index.jsp >

FileMaker Pro
    < http://www.filemaker.com/ >

Cumulus (Canto)
    < http://www.canto.com/pro/ >

iView
    < http://www.iview-multimedia.com/ >

FotoStation
    < https://www.fotoware.com/Shop/Default.aspx >


She also found a huge list of digital asset management system vendors:
