DigitalPro 3: Award winning digital image management software now includes image cataloging

Pro Shooters releases DigitalPro 3 for Windows, the first true business solution for digital photographers’ image workflow

Portola Valley, Calif. - September, 2004 - Today Pro Shooters LLC, released DigitalPro 3 for Windows. New with Version 3 is a fully integrated image cataloging system tied directly to its award-winning image management system. No longer do photographers need multiple applications to manage their digital workflow. DigitalPro3 handles the entire process, from loading images off cards, reviewing, renaming, captioning and filing. With DigitalPro’s image catalog users can quickly retrieve images based on categories, keywords, captions or shooting data. For editing DigitalPro 3 integrates seamlessly with Adobe Photoshop, Nikon Capture, or the user?s choice of photo editor.

Unique to DigitalPro 3 are:

Real-time Cataloging while browsing, Unlimited size Catalogs
End-to-end color managed workflow
Integrated support for Photoshop CS Batch Raw processing
Raw+JPEG mode allows quick image handling for Raw+JPEG shooters

DigitalPro3 has already received a 2004 Editor?s Choice award from American Photo magazine and is showcased in their July issue.

DigitalPro was developed by Pro Shooters LLC, an experienced team of software developers who have built a series of award-winning productivity applications and who are dedicated digital shooters.  ?As a shooter I was frustrated by how long it took to organize my digital images and how cumbersome the tools were,? explained David Cardinal, Pro Shooters founder. ?As a software developer I knew that we could do better. Teaming with world-renowned wildlife photographer Moose Peterson and other pro shooters has ensured that DigitalPro is the best product in the industry for the serious digital photographer.? For Peterson, ?Digital photography was fast and fun until I had to deal with slow and hard to use software to review and file my images. DigitalPro has changed all that. Now I look forward to looking at and filing my images almost as much as shooting.?

DigitalPro is in use by thousands of photographers and corporations worldwide. Pros and serious amateurs alike benefit from the improved workflow and raw file support. Pros including Roy Feldman, who manages digital imaging for Ford Motor Company, are effusive: ?DigitalPro has saved us countless hours by automating our digital workflow from our cameras right through to our users. It has quickly become indispensable to us.? DigitalPro’s network friendly design and business-friendly user-based licensing makes it a natural for use in organizations.
