Question & Answers : Managing client images
I’m looking for a good Mac app to help me catalogue last quantities of images. Images would be stored on our server, but added via our Macs – we receive a lot of images from clients and need to be able to retrieve them quickly when asked. So we’d love a Mac app that we could drop a load of images onto, it would copy them to our server, and prompt us to tag them with keywords (client, keywords, project, date) and then it would do all the rest. Then we could search using the app and up come the pictures.
