I was very skeptical but I think it does a great DAM job.
I have to explain why, for me, this is a good software and what my priorities are. EM2 does what other DAM applications do but with few additional capabilities and of course, drawbacks.
my priorities
1. Ability to write metadata to originals or MASTERS. (option to with and without XMP file)
2. Ability to access masters(with their metadata) from other softwares. (light room or PhotoMechanic)
3. Ability to catalog off-line media (hard disks, DVDs, CDs)
4. SUPPORT SUPPORT SUPPRT
5. frequent update, plugin - script support, and a developer who listens to 'single users' needs.
6. support to multiple Catalogs.
I have used handful DAM softwares and comfortable to say the EM2 is my choice. of course it has its own quirks but I hope they fix them soon .. for example
1. Sorting files by name does not follow how OSX system sort files (080430_01.jpg does not come after 080430.jpg)
2. "AUTOMATIC Sync" .. PLEASE ADD THIS feature.
3. GPS location can not be exported to MASTERS, it has some issues.
4. Preferences need to be puffed up .. I would like to have 'specific' control on the thumbnail size (in piles). Options on how I display dates. Another example is changing the name of Catalog Folder, would change the original folder .. Can I have an option to turn that off.
5. It would be nice to have Groups in Catalog folders .. (I have 200 DVDs, after I catalog them, I can not see the online folders) I would like to put all DVDs in that folder
6. a film strip in Media tab would make things easier.
7. OPTIONAL : seeing inside packages (for macs) or .zip .rar files. It would be nice to have the ability to 'filter' some files based on levels (sub levels of directory) or file names, type , size .. (e.g. do not catalog jpgs smaller than 5k)

grh-aklI agree with all that previous reviewers say and to those criticisms I add this: On whim, the app will just toss your preferences away. You launch it and...now you must re-set it all over again.
Stand-alone PDF manual? Forget it !
And the price? Wow! I'll bet some software engineer somewhere could wring the same simple tool for $50. And he'd get very rich.
