Hi there,

I've been a pro photo seller for years. So, I tried this application, could install and register it without problem.

But, I couldn't find why it's better than a free one like Picasa with which you can organize, share, edit,apply dozens of effects and so forth.
If you don't like Picasa, then the freeware Xnview offers many and many features too, features that Daminion doesn't offer, sorry.

Hi there,

we have checked the registration and it worked on most of our PCs. In case you don't see the key after request try using any other browser to submit your data (worked for us).

Updated.

We contacted the developer and the issue was immediately fixed. As they said, "It was a problem if a name contains spaces."

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

There was a problem with generating license for names with spaces. We fixed this issue. It works now.

Does DAMinon include automatic and structured controlled vocabulary and IPTC/XMP inclusion and sidecars, and does it import/export an XML database to other programs, and does it include automatic image analysis for recognizable things beyond existing EXIF and IPTC, but also automatic content and face recognition, can it automatically backup images locally or to the cloud, and track sales and use licensing, and keep track of where all copies of an image are, in print and as files?

Or do we have to label each picture one at a time, manually ... then do it all again later if we want to also or alternatively use Picasa or Adobe or Canto or PicturePark, or if the database won't run in Windows 9 or 10, or if we "touch" the image in another program, do we have to relabel the image again to re-include it in DAMinion?

How slow does it run to build an initial database, then how long does it take to audit or rebuild that data base on a regular schedule, and coordinate databases across multiple computers, such as when coming back from the field with a laptop full of new images, and does it store it's own thumbnails, or does it have to "see" a master picture in order to keep it in the catalog (such as keeping track of my archive of off-line CDs from Kodak)?

Much to read and explore hands-on:

Yes and no to my questions ... but it's only at version 2, so it's quite young -- Microsoft Word is at version 14 and can't do most of that stuff for text documents!

I understand and honor DAMinion for their efforts - I see this as programmers working with a few clients who wanted a custom application, then maturing their offering to be more and more all-purpose in order to sell it to a wider audience ("hundreds" of customers).

But those are my goals -- maximum smart automation about image contents, along with lossless, recyclable metadata, backup, and distribution tracking.

So far, for me, on multiple computers with 20,000+ images, I do it manually using library science schemes to construct a reference system from the get go.

Picasa includes face recognition and whole-image manipulation tools, and can print really nicely, and can upload to free Picasa web or free Flickr in batches, properly resized (2048x) for the web site's free storage options, resulting in new JPG copies of any image file type; MyShoebox can automatically upload small JPG copies (1024x) of JPGs, unlimited, free.

To Jeff:

Daminion allows you to put one image to multiple tags, which is not possible in case of the Folder based organization.

Daminion will be useful if you have a lot of photos and usually spent some time before finding a right photo.

Remember that "Pictures you can't find are JUST AS USELESS as pictures that are completely lost!"

A new Daminion version will coming soon with a set of improvements:
- Batch file renaming
- renaming and adding watermarks for exporting images
- Creating Contract Sheets (in PDF format)
- Access limitation on file level
