ThumbsPlus® 6.0 For Digital Image Management

By Dave Shultz

More and more travelers are finding the ease and versatility of digital cameras the best way to capture vacation memories.  Taking the photos is easy but sometimes, managing and finding them on a crowded hard drive can be a lot less fun.  My personal method for image management has always been ThumbsPlus.

Cerious Software, Inc. has released its full-featured ThumbsPlus 6.0 for Windows, one of the leading software solutions for digital content management. ThumbsPlus locates, views, edits, prints and organizes images, metafiles, fonts and multimedia files. The software contains easy-to-use wizards for image and catalog printing, web page creation, slide shows and contact sheets. A versatile batch converter allows complex image manipulations with dozens of editing functions.

Unlike most competing products, ThumbsPlus is completely database-driven which allows sophisticated features such as: extensive search capabilities, search by similarity, user defined fields, image galleries, and management of offline disks, even across a local network. The new 6.0 release supports 114 formats, including JPEG 2000 and many of the proprietary digital camera formats from Canon, Olympus, Minolta and Kodak. ThumbsPlus is highly customizable and can be scaled from a single Home PC up to a complex SQL driven server solution.

The software is available directly from the Cerious web site http://www.cerious.com, or by calling 877-CERIOUS (877-237-4687) toll-free. It may also be purchased from selected resellers. ThumbsPlus has a MSRP of US$49.95 for the Standard Edition and US$89.95 for the Pro Edition.

For almost 10 years, Cerious® Software has been a progressive developer of image software products. With more than 1 million users worldwide, ThumbsPlus® is one of the leading software applications for Windows image management.
