iView MediaPro is essential for creative and media professionals who need to organize, view, annotate, print, backup and repurpose media, as well as automate workflows.

With iView MediaPro, you can make the most of your media to create flexible slide show presentations, QuickTime movies, theme-based web pages, print multi-image reports, and custom PDF layouts. You can also enhance the color, brightness and other visual characteristics of photographs.

Organizing your media into catalogs allows you to instantly search, annotate and classify media with unlimited criteria across large volumes of mounted or unmounted media files using the drag-and-drop organizer. MediaPro supports IPTC, EXIF and QuickTime annotation standards, user defined annotations and128 file formats, including popular image, audio/video, and digital camera raw formats. It also converts media into a variety of formats and supports AppleScript.

Creates media catalogs containing thumbnails and annotations that can be viewed even when the original files are no longer on a mounted drive. iView MediaPro allows you to import photos direct from a digital camera and burn media onto a CD-ROM or backup media to a removable volume.

Still the best but still needs improvement - Version: 2.0.2096.0, 11/22/2009 11:40AM PST

Use onMAC - I have used Expression Media (Used to be called Iview Media Pro) since years and despite numerous issues and flaws, there is NOTHING like it to keep track of and manipulate media files. I use it primarily for image files. I have thousands of image files and this is the only way I could keep track of them, send them out, change names, sizes, etc. easily. On the other hand, since Microsoft bought it, VERY LITTLE has been done for it and it needs a lot of help now. They have fixed some serious bugs, but there are still others. I have learned to put up with them and hope they still develop this app. If there were another out there that did the same stuff or near it, I would use it, but there are none. This is a VERY configurable app. If anyone knows of any other that comes close, PLEASE let me know as the bugs in it have gone unfixed for a year now. I am writing this to counter other neg reviews I have read. Yes, its a drag but what else is there? Apeture is not close.

Microsoft sucks - Version: 3.1.3, 10/31/2009 08:41PM PST

This is exactly why I hate Microsoft. They march in and buy companies that produce tools for Mac users and then discontinue it for Mac. What absolute SCUM.

They did the exact same thing with Connectix Virtual PC for Mac. MicroScum.

Still a compulsory splash screen on startup. Still frequent and mysterious disappearance of the view preferences.

Another pet peeve: Accidentally clicking outside an image boundary can lose all of the selection frames. Grossly annoying if I am near the end of a four-figure catalog.

Sorry I came back for a quick inspection to see if they have improved what was a good product before they bought it. Nope.
