Sounds more like you need a sharepoint type site so folks can ‘check out’ the graphic files to work on ONE AT A TIME …
I can’t think of any collaborative bitmap editors that are made for multiple simultaneous users.

Using PS Elements they can’t use multiple machines because it does not update any changes made by another user. Jay Dale Senior Systems Administrator P:281-574-2414 From: Joseph L.

If free is what you need, look at Gimp. Its nearly as powerful as Photoshop, so I assume it will meet their needs. jlc From: Jay Dale [mailto:jd...@unetek.com] Sent: Monday, June 06, 2011 6:29 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Image Editing software Hey all, I have a client that is a furniture store. They take tons of photos that they have to edit and tag for things such as brochures, catalogs, etc. They are about to implement Masterpiece as their Point of Sale system, but I don't know if it handles images in that way. Currently they are using Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 for their editing, but Elements has a slow, cumbersome Online synchronization tool that really doesn't work very well with multiple PC's accessing centralized photo data (located in a data share on their server). But before Masterpiece can be implemented properly they need some sort of photo-editing software that not only allows them to handle large amounts of photo editing and tagging but also can support network access and sharing. I have very little experience with photo software, so I'm at a loss. Anyone have any ideas?
