I use iView MediaPro to create a catalog which I then burn to the CD with the customer's photos. I also include the free catalog reader from iView that lets them view the photos with a very simple program. I've used this software for several years now as my primary DAM & highly recommend it. It's available for Mac OS X & Windows, as well as the catalog reader. A little pricey but worth it. I also use the catalog reader at events so that customers can view photos but can't alter anything on my server (I use 4 Mac laptops & a wireless network). Hope this helps...

Thanks, very good info! Will check it out! By the way, do you shoot the Dogstar?

I use Roxio Easy Media Creator 7.5 for simple archiving of my files and I use Flip Album 6 pro for the photo books I make for others...really quite nice as you can watermark your whole album, make it with and expiration date or time limit, pas word protect it also. :thumb

You might try taking a look at Photodex. I am not sure if this is exactly what you were wanting but its a pretty powerful program. I have seen some very nice videos made with it. www.photodex.com (http://www.photodex.com)
