Summary: Bummer
Review: On paper, iview Media Pro 2.0.3 looks like the perfect image cataloging software, especially for those of us running OS 9.2. Its not cheap, but with what the software promised, it seemed like the way to go. Not.

Its buggy. Constant freezes. Slow. In continuous mode, mp3s can be played during slide show (great) but the slide show can't be turned off unless you force quit (which is accompanied by a freeze and a re-boot. Every time. In interactive mode, mp3s can't be played, although at least now one can exit the program.

I checked my system requirements. All OK (Carbon lib1.6 and Quicktime 6.0.3). I emailed tech support, Got a very quick reply asking if the above were installed. When I said yes, never heard anything back.

Bottom line. This software is not cheap. If it did what it promised, it would be worth the money. As is, it doesn't do that much more than the freeware that comes with most digital cameras.

In hindsight, I should have read the reviews at http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/5534. Not so good.

For those of you on OS X that are enjoying this software, my apologies. I writing this as a caution to those running OS 9. Its upsetting to pay this much for software only to learn it does only a fraction of what its advertised to do.

iview--shame on you.

Review: This program is like iPhoto on steroids. You can catalogue images and music etc. any way you like. You can set keywords, names, locations, dates etc. etc. and search quickly through your cataglogues to find what you want. You can also then print contact sheets, create slide shows and make basic HTML galleries. The software takes some learning but much of it is inuitive. The product manual is clear and easy to read and email support is quite prompt.

I am an amateur photographer and shoot Canon RAW images and iView Media Pro 2.0 handles them quickly and efficiently.

The program also alows you to do basic image editing if you don't want to take the photo into Photoshop or another image editing program. I mainly uses Photoshop but I have tried the red eye feature in iView Media Pro and it worked just fine.

In sum, there is a bit of a learning curve but it's not steep, iView is there to help and the effort is well worth it.
