Not sure that's true anymore...and certainly not when it comes to cataloging images for digital scrapbooking. Many of the DAM programs costs hundreds of dollars....and still don't properly handle transparency on pngs, which is essential when you are working with files for scrapbooking...probably 75% or more of the files are transparent pngs. Adobe Lightroom for instance does not handle them properly (at least, the last beta didn't). The main problem I think is that the focus of most DAM software is on photos (RAW and jpegs)...after all, they are designed for professional photographers. Scrapbookers generally are looking for something cheaper ($50 at most), that can handle hierarchical categories easily, do keywords and searches quickly, handle tens of thousands of images, etc. And of course transparency...that's the biggest issue I run across. ACDSee so far is the best program I have used, there are others like ThumbsPlus that work well enough, even the free Picasa software does a decent job (although is one that doesn't handle pngs properly)....all of these are Windows only. I've even run across a couple programs designed specifically for scrapbooking...again, Windows only. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 and Flex 2 Build sales & marketing dashboard RIAâs for your business.
