This isn't for a stock library (I'd buy specific software for that purpose) but for my personal portfolio - my best shots. It's also for general information about what's on each roll of film I shoot (obviously no thumbnails there). It'll grow to a couple of thousand entries eventually. As long as it fits on a single CD-R I'm OK with it. >But add those thumbnails to the database itself, and it'll grow >much more quickly. Thumbnails are 133 x 200 pixels at present. I may even shrink them further in the future. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
