number of images is what matters to the database. the entry level stuff like you see in computer stores will handle the quantity, but most are pushing it. you ought to look at the specialist programs designed for pro photographers. i think you will find that defining keywords is an inadequate way of filing your images. there is an implied taxonomy of subjects and topics in any system that i have heard any working photographer describe. sunsets at Valley Fire. sunset is a time of day. Valley of Fire State Park is a state park and in nevada which is in the western US which is in the US. Extensis Portfolio has mind share. it doesn't support hierarchical categories. IMatch does, but it has some stupidities that i don't like, one of which is that anything you do pops up helpful tips all the time until you turn off each message one by one. the global switch doesn't affect anything i could see. another is that they make you enter three different authentications of your ID to download patches from their web site.
