#Neofinder dam manual#
The only truly future proof system is going to be a standard Finder folder structure, with a manual method of filing master images with edited versions. But, although they are a 'standard' file format, the contents of them are not standardised.įortunately, I have always used XMP sidecar files and referenced databases, rather than managed, regardless of the programs I have been using (which actually made Neofinder a non starter for me until recently when it added full XMP integration and editing).
There are some suggested solutions that are less than perfect, for example xml and DNG files. I also fully appreciate the reasons behind using separate DAMs and editors, with the desire to keep edits and management in a more flexible and future proof setup - although the DAM part of that is inherently going to be closed into a proprietary database at some point. It's certainly a process I have considered, and did use when I very first started with digital photography (before iPhoto and Aperture existed in fact). I understand regarding NeoFinder as a DAM for standalone editors. Yes, they are pricey, and not sure if I could afford them now, but I can keep up with the upgrades And it would seem there have been a lot of changes in the program recently.Ĭapture one and Photo Mechanic have always been a bit pricey for my budget (and excessive for my needs). I suspect this might have been changed, as there is now simply an option in preferences to choose the preview size. I selected it, GC launched, but nothing else happened (tried it a couple of times). I have since deleted NeoFinder, having found it of little use to me, so can't recall exactly how I did it, but I seem to remember it being a quickly found item that said something like 'create previews in GraphicConverter'.
I haven't noticed this function, but I can choose preview and thumbnail quality in the preferences and I can open files in GraphicsConverter from a thumbnail or preview in NeoFinder by right clicking on it.
