So far it becoming quite clear to me. As I understand the two progams Thumbsplus and Photoshop are intended to receive, name and manupilate the images. However, I would like some help with how to store, manage the various images. First I thought to stock them in my current database which manages the species for the nursery. But that make makes too whealdy to work with. Would it be possible to use a separate database such as File maker of the Microsoft Acces for storing and organising the images ( each image accompanied with information such as name, date, place taken or origin and the use made of it etc). As all scans and digital images are stored at a high resolution , which demands high capacity storage. I envisage to purchase a a high capacity hard disc inwhich to unload all images photo CD and photo files in the computer. Any ideas and help woud be much appreciated Kind regards Lauw de Jager BULB'ARGENCE, 30300 Fourques, France Région: Provence/Camargue, (Climat zone 9a Mediterranean) Site: http://www.bulbargence.com/ "GUIDE POUR BULBES MÉDITERRANÉENS": 116 pages, 400 photos, prix 10 E LE CATALOGUE D'HIVER (WINTERCATALOG) sera disponible en janvier; vous pouvez commander par le site maintenant pour un envoi, à partir de maintenant jusqu'à fin mars.
