Thanks.

T+.

iMatch was too big a PITA to learn. It does much more than I need, but I didn't find it easy to do the simple things. It is good software, but a 300-page PDF user manual says it all.

I second Roger's opinion. T+ definitely is the way to go!

In your opinion, how do either of these titles compare with ACDSee?

Russell,

I tried an evaluation copy of ACDSee (can't remember which version). I thought the interface was a bit clunky and I suffered several crashes. This was before I selected T+, so it wasn't an adequate replacement for whatever I was using at the time (probably a cobbled together solution using the defunct Image Expert (now Jasc After Shop), WhereIsIt? and BreezeBrowser).

Also I don't think it's a colour-managed application, which is another negative. I haven't looked at a recenrt version as I've been happy with T+.

For me I would say the ACDSee 5.01 "Bug Fixed" is the best choice, mind you if you are an avid photo editor you might have to venture off to get something out of Ulead or Jasc or if you are made of money Adobe.

ACDSee 6.0 is suppose to eliminate alot of the clutter that the other above posts have mentioned... I have to admit once you get used to using it, like anything, its hard to change.

For me its ACDSee with Deneba Canvas for image / photo editing / web page creation.
