I am looking for an image database/filing system so that when I convert my transparencies to digital files I can easily view and search the images. I have a G4 so am only interested in Mac compatible databases.>>> As it happens we are in the final stages of completing the design and development of a searchable image database which will do exactly what Gary wants. It features automatic thumbnail generation and simple, photographer-friendly forms for cataloguing the images. It is based on Web technology, so it will run on any system. The program, tentatively named Dynamic Image Library, was developed initially for our own use but we will be putting it on the market. The aim is to recover the development costs, not to make a fortune! However, this being Xmas, and my associate in this project having had to deliver his Doctorate Dissertation, it will probably be sometime early in 2000 before we have it ready for commercial use. (Our own Beta version is operating perfectly as I type) It promises to be a low-cost, effective solution to Gary's requirements. I will update LUGgers in the New Year when we will be putting the database up on our own site so that anyone can try it out. Best Rod
