I use ACDSee and have upgraded to Pro v3. ACDSee is very easy/ quick in keywording and inspecting the files. The latest version is much quicker at bringing up 2 or more shots when comparing them.

Just to bump the thread and to say, depending on date etc I would be interested as well!

From my scan elite, 16bit 35mm scan is over 200Mb a file

And so say all of us! I mean that about ourselves as well

Tempted to answer Yes to your poll - but it applies to me as well!

I bought a Minolta Scan Elite 5400 some years back. Still have a few thousand slides and negs I would like to do. However I suspect I will never accomplish that task - so many other things have priority

... and strap...

Sorry to hear that - that is very sad indeed!

Very interesting Matt!

Not able to add anything about the K7 - still have the humble K10D.
But sometime ago I had wondered whetehr the under exposure of the K10D metering (and *istD before it) was in part down to UV. I never put a UV filter on the lens to do a 'before and after' scientific test. It was more of a feel. The problem occurs often, but I did notice a bit more with bright sky landscapes, even having tried adding exposure compensation!

I guess the comment about IR affecting everything would equally apply and probably makes more sense!

Just to add my 'thank-you' to John and Matt, and also to welcome Daniel and Ken to the role!

I suppose I am up to the 10-12 mark. My trouble is that I am probably inconsistent with words used to describe the same thing. Ie if similar photos are added with sometime between them, I have forgotten what description I called something the first time around!

(Should have added in my earlier post that I use LR for pixel-peeping comparisons between photos and for processing as it is better for that than ACDSee)

I have been using ACDSee Pro 2.5 and find it very quick to do a quick catalogue with keywords/ categories etc. Just point it at a the folder and it will do the rest. You can stop it from 'reading' certain folders so you don't waste time looking through totally unrelated other material etc!

Having keyworded etc in that, I then 'write' all info to IPTC so that I can also search when using Lightroom.
