<pre> Check out either Canto's Cumulus, Extensis' Portfolio, Caere's Image AxsPro. all are user friendly and low cost image management systems which actually are quite sophisticated. They aren't intended for heavy archive work but are good for systems who main interest is retrieval of specific images such as you describe. They do allow you to group and save the groupings. For storage I would establish a resolution and file type standard - say a 600 pixel x800 pixel jpg and stored them in a server (computer hard drive). For indexing in this situation I think it is best to roll your own - fit your users needs. All of the software mentioned above allow you to either just throw keywords at an image or to create a structure of information. You might want to check my site - www.DIG-Mar.com -for some ideas - especially the Solutions column which is about a Planning firm's evolution of an intranet based image library. They started with ImageAxsPro. If you have any more questions, feel free to contact me directly.
