Keeping track of
your images and other media files can
be a tedious task. There are tools
available that will help you, both
free and expensive ones. The free ones
are too limited and will soon be
outgrown. The expensive ones are
complex and often forces you to work
in a way that doesn't suit you. This
is where QPict comes into play.
QPict offers an
attractive and inexpensive way to view,
organize, search and batch process all
your media files. Our media database
engine supports common standards such as
IPTC, XML and EXIF and supports many
different media file formats including
images, movie clips, fonts, RAW images
and sounds. QPict is equally well suited
for both professional and home usage. In
fact many are switching from more
expensive solutions to QPict due to the
flexibility, speed and ease of use you
just cannot find anywhere else. But
don't just take our word for it, try it
out yourself with our free 20 day trial.

 View With
Style
Media files can be viewed in a
number of different ways; thumbnails,
thumbnails with extra information, list
view, media view in window, media view
in full-screen, slideshow. Several
slideshows can be run in parallel on
different monitors, great for putting
your media on display.
Finding Your Files
With the ever growing number of
images and other media files we collect
the importance of finding the ones we
need is crucial. With QPict you can add
a large number of different annotations
to each media file. All these fields can
be searched with the advanced search
tool. The search settings can be saved
for easy access through the contextual
menu.
 Working
With RAW Images
Many professionals prefer to work with
RAW images instead of JPEG or TIFF. The
RAW files preserves the all data from
the sensor in the camera, other formats
trims this data down and compresses the
result. QPict has great RAW support for
over 200 different camera brands and
models. With QPict you can view, catalog
and convert RAW image files with a
breeze. You might need to send a bunch
of RAW images in JPEG format with a
lower resolution to a client. With QPict
it is just a matter of using the export
option, setting up the desired
resolution and destination and hit
"Export". You can even export the
untouched RAW data as a 48-bit TIFF or
PNG for post processing in another
application.
The Next Best Thing
After The Camera
If you own a digital camera you don't
want to miss out on this piece of
software. QPict integrates perfectly
with your digital camera with
exceptional ease of use. Just connect
the camera and your images will be
transferred in a snap. Disconnect the
camera when you're prompted to do so.
Unlike many other media asset management
applications QPict not only supports
JPEG images from the camera but also
supports RAW file formats from almost
any camera out there. AVI and MOV files
are transferred and playable within
QPict.
 Works
The Way You Want
Recognizing the vastly different needs
each user has QPict is designed from the
ground up to be customizable in every
way. Choose exactly how you want to view
your images and which fields you need to
view and edit. You can even create your
own customized search and batch commands
and add them to the toolbar. Almost
everything can be customized both per
index and globally. Visible fields/data
can be individually customized per view
(index view, extended view and list
view) and is stored in each media
database. Background patterns, window
size and position, scroll position and
thumbnail sizes are also stored per
index. This ensures that a database
looks and feels the same between
sessions.
Information
Everywhere
QPict extracts and displays a large
amount of information about each media
files. This information can be viewed in
a number of different ways. QPict works
with EXIF information from digital
cameras and IPTC (Adobe PhotoShop™
compatible) for annotations. All
information stored internally in a
database can be exported to an XML file
for interoperability with other
applications.
 The
Batch Processor -
A Truly Unique Feature
One of the most powerful features in
QPict is the possibility to batch
process thousands of media files in one
single operation. Use the batch
processor to assign annotations, rename
files, copy annotations from one field
to another, rotate & flip media,
copy or move media files, set up
destinations for quickly sorting images
into folders with a keypress etc. The
batch process settings can be saved for
easy access through the Actions menu or
the contextual menu. No other product
comes close to the power, ease of use
and flexibility of the batch processor
in QPict. Other products solutions are
either very limited or resorts to force
the user into writing complex scripts.
 Protecting Your Media
Your media files are important and often
irreplaceable. Important enough to
protect them as much as possible. You
can password protect each individual
index file. With the kiosk mode you are
able to put your work on display in
public places without worrying about
anyone messing with the computer. In
kiosk mode the computer is locked in
full screen mode and only viewing is
possible. When your hard-drive fills up
you can archive selected media files to
external media such as DVD or CD-ROM.
Media Files Where
You Want Them
Forget about proprietary databases that
enforces you to store your valuable
media files in a closed file format.
Forget about solutions where all your
media files must be stored in one single
and potentially slow database. With
QPict you have all the options to work
the way that suits you. If you want to
create several databases and work with
them all at the same time or you want to
leave your media files where they are
(on your hard-drive, a server, CD or
DVD) and only create an index of them
QPict can do that for you. If you have
all your media files in a database and
go somewhere QPict is not available you
can still access your files.

The more
time we spent with QPict,
the more impressed we
were. There's depth and
elegance to its design.
The depth means you won't
quickly outgrow it. The
elegance means you will
actually use the program.
We suspect you won't even
have to develop the habit.
It will be as routine and
indispensable as copying
images from your camera.
