Whatever it is that you are looking for – photos on a specific theme, menu templates, fades, background music or sound effects – the program provides a direct connection to this vast library and supports all of your ideas with the right material.
Manage and organize your picture archive
Automatically sort your photos by category
You'd like to decorate your bathroom with beach pictures or make a greeting card with an image of a beautiful sunset? Sort automatically by keywords and let your media collection be cataloged according to picture content.
The unique image analysis process scans photos for content and features and categorizes them automatically, e.g. nighttime, beach, sunset, architecture etc.
This makes it easy to find photos with a specific theme, even from different sources.
Combined search in several categories
The personalized management system lets you create your own categories manually. You can assign your images and video clips to different categories at the same time without having to save them multiple times.
This allows you to search in a combination of categories. For example, you can first look at all the pictures from one year, then all pictures of a vacation, followed by all beach photos and finally, all pictures of a certain person. This makes it possible to find the photos you are searching for in record time no matter which folder they are saved in.
Individual ratings
You can organize your photo database exactly the way you want with flexible management options. Group photos and video clips with one valuation scale, e.g. a single star might be suitable for all of your photos which require correction, while four stars indicate those which are suitable for printing, and five are reserved for those favorites which you would like to use to create special gifts.
It's a great way to keep an overview of how your photos are managed.
Find similar scenes & duplicates
You'd like to put together a collage of vacation photos or make a greeting card with a picture of flowers? Here's the solution!
Image content such as color and shape are analyzed in detail, making it possible to compile similar photos.
Also ideal for quickly finding duplicate pictures and removing them from the hard drive.
Representative picture selection
The intelligent Selection Wizard
Every photographer knows this problem: You've shot several photos and would like to put together a varied selection of the best shots but don't know where to start? The Selection Wizard is the perfect solution for designing photo albums, presenting the best shots online, creating slideshows or showing friends and family a few of your best holiday snapshots without boring them.
The new Selection Wizard is based on intelligent technology. It takes a large photo collection and puts together a representative (reduced) sample of photos, saving you time and effort. You can manually fine-tune the selection later.
Find highlights in your collection quickly
Innovative image analysis evaluates colors and focus and sorts out poor shots and blurry scenes. Metadata such as the date is also analyzed, which ensures that photos from all vacation days will be included in the selection.
You can customize the number and search criteria for the pictures you want in a number of ways:
- Equal number of photos from each day
- Prefer attractive photos
- Prefer people
- Avoid doubles
- Avoid similar motifs
Face recognition: Search your picture database
for specific faces
Find that one particular picture among thousands in your collection!
The automatic face recognition feature detects faces and allows you to assign names to them, so you can find photos of specific people or groups.
Ideal for creating photo albums for birthdays, anniversaries, or memories of your last vacation.
Archive images and video clips
Automatic archiving
Your computer crashes unexpectedly or is stolen, and all your memories are gone? Automatic backup function makes sure these kinds of horror scenarios become a thing of the past! Burn your photo & video archive automatically and regularly to CD or DVD - either completely or only specific files.
Useful: Directories or partitions on the hard drive can be supervised and access to them can be added in the database.
Personal password protection
You'd like to put your photo album online but don't want everyone to see it? You'd like to store your private files with password protection? Using the tried and true security system, you can protect your private pictures from unauthorized access with a customized password.
