Organize Efficiently and Locate Quickly

With digital cameras it's easy to quickly end up with a large amount of pictures. Storing images on disk is easy – but finding a particular image some time later turn into a mission impossible.

The image archive of StudioLine Photo Classic 3 delivers reliable and safe management for ever growing image collections. Categorize your images with folders, ratings, system and user descriptors, as well as extensible keyword lists. Properly classified, any image can be found within a split-second.

StudioLine generates brilliant thumbnails. Thumbnail sizes can be slider-controlled from 50 x 50 to 1,000 x 1,000 pixels. IPTC and Exif information is imported into the image database and can be modified. Specific ICC color profiles can be assigned to individual images.

Organizing

Easily organize your images into albums and folders. Existing folder structures found on your hard disk can be mimicked automatically. For each folder you can define descriptor values (such as copyright, photographer, event, location) that are used as defaults for any new images. This reduces the effort involved with cataloguing new images and eliminates the chance for errors. Each folder can be set up with its own sort order.

Copies and Shortcuts

"Shortcuts" allow you to arrange images in multiple locations of the image archive, without requiring physical copies of the image itself. All that's needed is a database entry. The same holds true when "Copies" are used to create different treatments of the same image. The database simply maintains unique stacks for the different image tool settings.

Convenient and Flexible Annotating and Classifying

With StudioLine Photo Classic 3 you can rapidly annotate and index thousands of photos with descriptions, keywords and categories.

Already existing IPTC and Exif information are imported into the image archive database and can be modified. For comprehensive and meaningful annotations, create an unlimited number of your own descriptor fields and type or paste text of any length.

"Drag and Tag" keywords and categories to your images from extensible lists. Control which keywords are used to populate IPTC or any other fields. Rank you favorites with a 5-star rating system.

Intuitive batch processing allows you to apply the same descriptions, keywords and ranking to a large series of pictures, rather than having to manually annotate and index one picture at a time.

A convenient search and replace function can quickly change existing keywords or descriptions.

Use the "Mark for…" function to compile images from multiple folders for particular tasks, such as printing or emailing, or for a display on a lightbox. The lightbox presents its content in a larger scale for easy comparison of similar images.

Lightning-Fast Access to Your Image Assets

StudioLine Photo Classic 3 is the quickest way to locate images. Searching is supported with simple or complex queries. You can choose from among 75 system criteria plus any number of user descriptors. An intelligent search assistant suggests specific criteria for which there are matching images. Results are found in a split- second. Images can be viewed in a timeline, based on either the Exif creation date or change date.
