john-- i have for years used ellenco proslide, first in dos and then the windows versions; and i believe they also have a version for mac. the url is now www.proslide.net. with proslide ii you'll be able to organize, sort, etc. in various ways; and you'll be able to design (format) labels in various styles, including the one i use, namely, a self-adhesive full-slide label that will take up to twelve lines of information. the address: p. o. box 159, tijeras, nm 87059; 'phone 505-281-8605. i name and store my negatives by a completely open-ended system. hence, "n098c5" is from page 98 of my nikon binder, row c (from the top of a seven-sleeve negative file), negative 5 (from the left). this will work with any format. good luck. david -----Original Message----- From: Lee John <john_f_lee@hotmail.com> To: List for Photo/Imaging Educators - Professionals - Students <photoforum@listserver.isc.rit.edu> Date: Mon, 19 Aug 2002 13:11:06 -0400 Subject: Software for slide & phot management? I am searching for a program that will (a) create a searchable database of pictures by date/description/category etc (jpgs, tiffs & gifs need not be included) and that will (b) print labels for slides. Alternatively, I am interested in feedback on the computer programs used by others to manage their negs, slides and prints. It seems most to the software out there right now is targeted at digital users. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (and I have a second question) How do you keep track of your negs and slides in an orderly fashion? (Is it easier just to use index cards?) --John. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx To be a useful person has always appeared to me to be something particularly horrible. --Charles Baudelaire
