I’m trying it out under its 30-day, 10 catalog, trial period but if it proves its mettle, as it were, then I’ll be buying a licence. While musing on the many DAMs that had come and gone, I remembered seeing an application called NeoFinder and wondered what, exactly, it did, googled it and now here we are. I needed a very different DAM than those made just for photographs. When I began collecting information for The Robert Krasker Project, I was already acquiring files in a number of different types and formats – audio, HTML, PDFs, photographs scans, typefaces, URLs, video and more.Īs the project continues there’ll be even more file types and especially videos we’ll be shooting and editing from collected material and stuff we’ll shoot ourselves.

Phase One, former owner of Media Pro, made Capture One Pro and its spin-offs, raw image file processing and cataloguing software where the catalogs were only for image files and then it spun-off its software department as a separate company named Capture One. Other DAMs and similar software that I tried were only for specific types of media and were damned good at it, such as Kyno for video production and Photo Mechanic and Photo Mechanic Plus for stills photography. I’ve used other cataloging and digital asset management applications aka DAMs over the years as well, but they either vanished from the market or were sold to developers that turned them into high-priced corporate asset cataloguing products.
