Unfortunately for me, I re-purchased PM specifically because of the "upcoming catalog release", and now I find myself in a real bind, my old catalog process is now over a year out of date, it is very difficult for me to manage my images, and I now have to decide, yet again, which direction to go.
Lightroom is not, in my opinion, a robust enough catalog system. Worse yet I don't want to import all my images into LR, for numerous reasons.
I could, of course, continue to ingest and tag in PM, use my old catalog program to catalog, process in LR. That is just one more process in the chain and yet another set of keywords to get out of sync, not mention any other issues with how keywords and such are stored.
The beauty of a PM Catalog is that the keywords would be stored correctly and seamlessly, this is of course a guess, as we cannot see what the Catalog will do, but I think it is a good guess.
I would like someone from Camerabits to tell us what you would like us to do at this point in time. I am guessing that I am not the only one who re-purchased a license based on the statement made a year ago. A number of other small organizations have built catalog products which robustly mangage, in a timely fashion, catalogs of 100,000 or more images, certainly in the single user case, there are several who also have been successful with multi-user catalogs.
With no visibility, and no response from Camerabits on progress, I am left with few options. The first is to continue with PM and potential keyword issues with a different cataloging program, or not catalog at all. Not catalogin at all has now become untenable.
My question to Camerabits is, how long do you expect that we should wait on faith? Or do you have any recommendations on how, in a PC environment, to reliaby build a workflow around PM with another robust Catalog product?
