Search Engine
Provide a Search Engine for Your Pictures
Finding and retrieving pictures from a large collection is simple with the IMS search engine. The software provides a powerful search tool, much like Google - just enter what you are looking for, and the smart logic behind the search box will find the right images in your system. The advanced mode even includes mechanisms to perform highly specific, refined searches.
The search engine understands and imports industry-standard tags. If you put a picture into IMS, and later retrieve it, this means your keyword and description data will stay intact as part of the file itself. You can be certain that IMS will interact smoothly with other tools in your workflow.
If you don't use meta data, IMS includes an editor to get you started painlessly. The hard work of putting your descriptions and keywords into the pictures is all done for you.
Smart Folders
Smart Folders group pictures together automatically and adapt to new pictures or changes to your keywords. For example, IMS can maintain a folder which contains pictures that are related to a keyword, or contain a particular phrase in the caption. IMS can also group pictures by their date, filename or - better still - a combination of different conditions.
- Anything that IMS can do with a search can be stored as a permanent collection of pictures in a Smart Folder.
- Smart Folders automatically update when keywords or captions change, or new images are uploaded.
