One Stop Under

Moose Peterson has just announced version 4.0 of his Digital Pro image management software for Windows.

Improvements include:

• Performance improvements in image rendering, especially TIFF files
• New (customizable) Light Table toolbar makes it easier to use than ever.
• Common commands are now only a click away.
• The File Cabinet now supports “Favorites” so you can customize which drives/folders are displayed and “History” so you can quickly go back to any folder you’ve used before
• A “Folder Viewer” has been added to the updated Projects control so that you can browse removable media or other folders.
• Card loading is now in the background allowing the user to continue on with their own work
• Travel & Return now supports “Auto-Filing” of images so that they are automatically re-named with the correct prefix & image number when returned into an existing folder with a prefix set.
• Updated docking system makes it easier to lay out windows the way you want (note that layouts need to be recreated for DP4)
• Supports up to 4 configurable editors which can be used for either the regular or Raw version of an image
• Updated Keywords & Collections trees have toolbars for common commands making them easier to use and more intuitive.
• New Skin technology lets you change the overall look of DP4. Also, we’ve upgraded the general look of the product. See View Skins for options. You can also “pin” or allow windows to hide off to the side until you mouse over them, for those who like the ultimate control over their window placement.
• Image comparison feature in Slideshow
• Added “Send image in Email” command
• Re-designed “Info” panel for image info on the main screen, including captioning info
• Choice of font color for watermarked text on submissions
• Support for Windows AutoPlay for cards, CDs, and photo vault devices
• Lots of other fixes & updates. New display options for controlling selection color. New “Explore folder” command in Light Table opens up Windows Explorer on the current folder. Added ability to launch external apps from the toolbar as a user-requested convenience.

The price is USD$179 for the Standard Edition, and USD$259 for the Professional Edition. Special upgrade pricing is available for users of older editions or those wanting to upgrade from Standard to Pro. Anyone who purchased DigitalPro3 after 1 October 2005 gets a free upgrade to DigitalPro4 – just contact Moose Peterson’s office for details.
