Thereby, it doesn't matter if the character string is located in the file name or in the metadata. One only needs to type in the searched character string into the input field and the programe searches all files for it. This function is comparable with the spotlight-function known from MacOS X. With it, it is possible to search one's data after some character strings without having to start an extra search. Therefore, the so-called data mining is very helpful.

Search functionsįotoStation Pro offers the user some very sophisticated search functions. By this way, the photo inventory can be browsed according to certain catchwords independently from the program.

With FotoStation Pro it is possible to process these tags in a comfortable way and therewith create a simple indexing of the image files. But thhe XMP format can capture much more and also, it is possible to create own tags. The most used tags in case of image files are title, photographer and description. These metadata can be read and, if necessary, processed by all other programs that can process XMP data. XMP is a standard for metadata that has been determined by the firm Adobe ® Systems and that recently replaced the until then valid IPTC-standard. Process of metadataįotoStation Pro enables the user to process all XMP tags.

over a memory card, one only has to assign them the respective job and they will be processed according to the configurations. If now new data are added to the system, e.g. Afterwards, the valid XMP-tags (more about this later) for the data files to be processed in this job can be arranged, thus e.g. Also the renaming of the data can be set here.

By defining a new job one has to determine first if the data should be copied into a certain folder, added to an archive (and therewith be copied in the folder assigned to this archive) or be sent to a previously determined action. from a memory card comfortably in the existing archive and/or file structure. Moreover, so-called jobs can be defined: This function enables to integrate data e.g. The actions can be assigned to previously defined or newly created groups. Thereby, the determination of these steps takes place by the selection from a function list. By this way, it is, for example, possible to minimize pictures automatically, to rename them and to save them again in a different file format. In such an action, an arbitrary amount of steps can be determined that have to be applied on all selected data files. Therefore, the so-called actions are created. If there are the same processing steps to be applied on large amounts of data files, they can be accomplished automatically. "ToDo" and, by this way, they can be processed successively without having them to copy from one place to the other. These files are resumed to one project named e.g. Thus, the files of different projects can be resumed to one project without needing them to be actually together in one folder, for example: In the hard disk, there are some files in three different folders that have to be indexed. These are XML-files in which it is determined which files belong to this project.

Determination of individual projectsĪnother function of administration is the possibility to assign certain images to so-called projects. Then, an own archive structure can be created in each working station without taking influence on the file structure in the server. This makes sense if the image files are stored in a server to which it can be accessed from different work stations.
#Dxo optics pro 6.0 software#
These are some virtual files that only exist within the software of FotoStation and that are linked with the real files.īy this way it is possible to create an archive that is independent from the structure of the directory. With FotostationPro it is possible to create so-called archives. In order to keep the overview of large amounts of data, a clear system has to be applied for the archiving. The software offers all necessary functions for this like the sorting, indexing, automized processing, detailed search functions and much more. What can the software FotoStation Pro do?įotoStation Pro offers the user a large amount of functions for the administration of the digital images. With this test we want to show what the software really can do and the best way it can be applied for the administration of large amounts of data. In this case, programs for the administration of images are applied as for example Adobe ® Lightroom ®, Apple Aperture FotoStation Pro of Fotoware that is tested now. And it is even more difficult to administrate and process them efficiently. It is not easy to maintain the overview of large amounts of digital images.
