Utilities Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/11/2017 "Very intelligent tool" 5/5 What do you like best about Daminion? Multiple ways of tagging and filtering make it easy to keep the overall view to all my photos. Adobe Lightroom compatibility is essential for me. The referencing with Geo-coordinates and the integrated map-view help to place the tool as my allround-solution. Easy import and export of all important file formats and raw file format support plus integration with external picture editing solutions are state of the art. After all I decided to use Daminion as my main managing tool for photo database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Daminion? Compatibility between Adobe Lightroom tags and Daminion tags in the xmp-files could be a little bit better. Especially color marking of photos should be synchronised for different languages (e.g. green = grün, etc.). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Daminion: First try out all the fesatures. It is very easy with the free edition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Daminion solving and how is that benefiting you? I'm holding a midsize photo database and wanted to manage the tagging in a comfortable way. Daminion seems to be the tool for that task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love having the ability to rate and then filter my photos. Once you come up with a system that works for you, it make finding photos and tracking your workflow very easy. For instance, when I cull my photos after a photo shoot, I rate the photos that I want to give a closer look with 3 starts. Once I decide a photo should be edited, I give it 4 stars. I can easily and quickly show only the photos that earned 4 stars. Once the editing is complete, I give it 5 stars. This makes it extremely easy to find my final edits Culling is simple because you can view photos as a thumbnail, but can enlarge any photo to full screen just by double-clicking on it. All exif data is displayed whether in thumbnail view or full screen view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Daminion? Rescanning my folders can take a few minutes, but that's to be expected. Overall, Daminion works exactly like I need it to work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Daminion solving and how is that benefiting you? This software saves me a great deal of time when it comes to culling photos prior to editing. I use it to organize all of my photos and launch my editor directly from Daminion. Daminion serves as my primary software for managing my workflow. While culling my photos, I rate those that I want to edit and, when I'm ready, I can launch my editor directly from Daminion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This program does what I want it to do, and not what big brother Adobe thinks I should want.... I decide where my photos should be, Daminion does not rename then automatically, eg when moving to a different folder or copying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Daminion? Some aspects are not as intuitive to use, eg organising keyword tags is much simpler in Photoshop Organiser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Daminion: A bit of learning, but worth it if you prefer to remain in control of your own files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Daminion solving and how is that benefiting you? Main problem is that Adobe cancelled my registration for unknown reasons and I was faced with buying a new copy at exhorbtant price. Daminion has a free version which is fine for my needs. I use GIMP to do the editing. I did not like Adobe's invasive extra software (updater, etc) and feel freed from that irritating organisation!

Daminion is focused on managing your assets, and I love the fact that there are no photo editing options. This allows me to focus on organization and cataloging my assets.

Dozent Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/12/2016 "Advanced search functions after detailed indexing" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Daminion? Very good indexing options after appropriate familiarization. Detailed basic inputs are very helpful later on. Daminion has a very powerful search function, for which understanding Boolean algebra is useful. Overall, a powerful tool if you are willing to familiarize yourself with the features of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Daminion? The map window is not optimally resolved. Localization of images is partially difficult. Automatic and manual placements do not get along. Easy switching between the map window and the image collection is only possible with a mouse. Large window obscures the image collection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Daminion: I can only recommend everyone to take a look at and try out Daminion. However, the full scope only becomes apparent after some familiarization. Simple indexing, however, already leads to good results at the beginning. Free for private use, therefore a very good price-performance ratio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Daminion solving and how is that benefiting you?
