![]() The developers even offer a “sidegrade” discount for people making this transition. Moving from Media Pro to NeoFinder was a doddle. The question popped into my head “why keep trying to make Media Pro work when this is available?” All of my pictures have their metadata intact and I have tried hard over the years to get my captions and keywords as good as I can make them. I made a quick catalogue from about 20,000 old images and I was shocked by how easy it was to use and how good the searches it allowed were. They offer a free trial and I had some time on my hands and so I downloaded and installed it. I thought to myself “how come I have never heard of it?” A quick search on the web brought up their site and I realised that this was a newer name for the old CD Finder application that I tried and quite liked half a dozen years or more ago. ![]() Camera Bits have been saying for years that “it is coming” but I have decided to look around for other options.Ī few months ago I was reading a thread on a Facebook photographers’ group that mentioned NeoFinder. Phase One’s decision to stop supporting it has made me look around for an alternative.īeing a long-time fan of Photo Mechanic I have been holding out and waiting for them to bring out a new version of the application that forms the core of my workflow with a cataloguing function. I have had Media Pro in its various forms for a very long time now and it has served me well. The idea of having an application that does so much and that is effectively free (as I subscribe to Photoshop CC anyway) is a good one but every time I have given it a go, I have decided that it isn’t as convenient at Media Pro as a catalogue. Well that’s not entirely true every time I look at Lightroom one of the things that attracts me to it is the cataloguing function that it brings with it. Cataloguing my archive is definitely something that I haven’t given enough thought to. Like most photographers my workflow has developed over the years and there are some bits of it that are more to do with convenience and habit than they are to do with efficiency. ![]()
