Jennifer Becker <<...is looking for a tool to help us catalog
graphics files (mostly TIF images, but also others [(e.g.,
Illustrator and Photoshop formats like EPS])... We are
currently looking at ThumbsPlus and Cumulus. Has anyone
used either of these or can you suggest another program?>>
Haven't heard of ThumbsPlus, but Cumulus routinely gets
good reviews. Our graphic artist, facing a similar dilemma,
opted to purchase Extensis Portfolio (no idea what his
decision criteria were). We're too early in the implementation
phase to speculate how well it will work out, but he seemed
pleased with the product.
