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. Join a community of a large number of
dedicated users.
 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 fullscreen, slideshow. Several slideshows
can be run in parallell 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, catalogue 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 managetment 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.
