Product Description:

Digital asset management and cataloging solution for photographers and other creative professionals. It enables you to create a customized, centralized and searchable repository through which you can manage a wide variety and high volume of digital files. MediaPro supports more than 100 different file formats including images, audio, video, fonts, illustrations, DTP, HTML and digital camera RAW files (including DNG, Nikon, Canon and Kodak).

Pro photographers and other creative professionals using MediaPro can quickly and easily import, annotate, organize, archive, search and distribute their digital files, shortening time from capture to distribution, thereby saving time and lowering costs.

What's new in this version:

Issues fixed for this release:

Importing a number of large images is very slow.
XML export and import may scramble custom fields.
Catalogs saved from a Macintosh computer lose file paths to the original media if they are opened from a server on a computer running Windows.
Original file paths are used instead of new file paths when you are copying items to a new catalog.
Silverlight 2.0 is not detected correctly by Mozilla Firefox browsers when you are viewing Silverlight HTML galleries.
Thumbnails do not use the embedded color profile of a file (thumbnails must be rebuilt to see the fix).
Expression Media cannot import PPT and XLS files.
Regarding contact sheet "out of range" errors, the experience when making contact sheets has been improved.
Batch Rename changes Cyrillic characters into '?' (question mark) characters when you use "Strip Diacriticals."

Beware of Catalog Limitations - Version: 2.0.2096.0, 6/3/2009 07:52PM PST

The most glaring problem of Expression is the catalog size is still limited to 1.8GB or 128,000 files, despite more than a year of complaints from users. The support boards are full of comments pleading with MS to remedy this problem to no avail.

Here's a response post from head of MS Media Expression Support:

"The Expression Media development team is painfully aware that the limits imposed by the current file format are insufficient, particularly in this day of larger and larger media files. Dev is committed to improving on this in the future." - September 23, 2008

I would highly recommend checking the Microsoft Expression Media support boards to see if the problem has been addressed before purchasing this product.

VT is way behind, as is often the case. This update was released on 24-Feb-2009. And here's the KB article on it if anyone would like to read more about the update:

Is MS saying they fixed these issues or created these problems for the update...?

Separately, MS updater for the program does not currently recognize update is available...I guess that may change later on....
