With several filmboxs stacked with unsorted negatives of various size, type etc.. Some filing system must be established.. Searching did not give any useful hints..

I would need a simple database to store a low res "contact print" and several keywords, shooting data etc.. not to forget useful searching.. I don’t (think) I need a full bells whistles program.. but how knows?

Recommendations.

Best Regards
Morten

Cheap and works well. You can run your scanner software from it and batch in 35mm scans, i.e., scan 36 at a time and have them imported, named, and info added to them. I scanned in about 1000 35mm and 120 images dating back to my high school days, plus I have about 550 4x5 images (small jpegs) cataloged so far. It will also handle your digicam images directly. I think I have about 7000 images in it so far, and it runs fine.
