You won't know you need it until it's too late....
Portfolio by Extensis will save you a giant headache, especially if youactually plan on doing anything with all the digital media thatyou keep filling up 80 gig firewires and CD-r discs with.You may think that the application that came free with that other program you have is just dandy and that you'd be silly in the head to pay for one: you are wrong. Sooner or later that app is going to fail you and it will be painful if you've put any time into making a catalogue. The realization that you've been wasting your time usually comes after months and months of total satisfaction.Listen,Portfolio is the standard if your a pro... if you're not a pro maybe it's because you refuse to use the proper tools. Organization and communication are important, even to jerks, so at least use the right tools for those two things. If you can't justify the expense, or your just hobbying about,be prepared for the other shoe. Image horders, you might consider ACDC (word to the wise, use a different app as your database) . If you have some room to move in the budget dept or if your need for an app like this is work related then for goodness sake buy this program before I vomit. No I don't work for them, yes I really will vomit. PS You owe me one gumball machine. PSS I hear the sharing functions are good, and you can web them up without the $1700 server app. PSSS Yes Norman, it tracks things on removable storage thingies just grand. No Carl, you may not. ...
