I have just completed indexing 3000 slides which will be sold on CD-ROM
under the name Digital Reflections.
The slides were scanned and indexed using Picture Windows, developed by
Matrix Technologies (1-800-563-0305). Because I used to teach science,
many of my photos would fit into a scientific image database - biology,
ecology, geology - as well as art. The program will search for any word
which is used in the description. For example, if I wanted to see a series
of images of flowers, the program would show all pictures with the word
flowers attached to them.
I could then create a slide show to view all or several of them. Of course
other words could be used in the search FLOWERS PINK NEWFOUNDLAND would
give a smaller selection.
Hope this is useful.
Bye
