A highly customizable image database / thumbnails / graphics editor application that makes it easy to catalog, locate, maintain and modify all your graphics and multimedia files.
Pro version can handle most RAW file types with the Digicam RAW plug-in.
I use T+ since 4 years in different upgrade versions, actually the USA-Version 6 to manage my Photograph Database. T+ ist a very powerful tool and has all facilities for every day use. Storage, archiving, maging, searching, sorting for about 70.000 Media files. Keywords, Annotations, user fields are helpful for this purpose. Very useful are virtual galleries with pointers to the real files not depending on the physical place and space of the file. Each file may have 1, 2 or more pointers. The Galleries allows a vertical structure, for example "locations/Germany/Bavaria/Munich/Octoberfest". i find every file within a few seconds.
there is also a lot of Photographic enhancement tools like sharpening, Filters, contrast and colour changing, skripting and batch processing. you can generate slide shows, web galleries. There are also some options for viewing, for example a loupe fu ction for picture parts.
Strengths:
complex archiving an databe tools
read, convert and write nearly all file formats
lot of phtographic enhancement tools
skripting and batch processing
color slideshows and web-galleries
Weaknesses:
none
Similar Products Used:
ACDSee and Irfanview. Both are useful tools for beginners
Customer Service:
very good, discussion forum on www.cerou.com or www.thumbsplus.de. each question is answered in maximal 2 Days

What used to take me two weeks now takes two minutes. LOVE the batch process. With the registered version you can do batch text stamps and resize all. The web feature generates the thumbnails for online use, and allows you to put in the source for the image folders online.
Strengths:
Batch process and web wizard.
Weaknesses:
Help files haven't answered all of my questions. A user manual would be nice. I also thought it was a little too pricey.

Summary:
I've been trying a number of packages to manage digital photographs, and I keep going back to ThumbsPlus. Easy to install and not only good for managing thumbnails, but excellent for batch size/color modification and transformation of file types. The slide show feature is pretty good also. I'm getting close to licensing my shareware version. Its good.
Strengths:
Easy install, intuitive interface, transform graphics between lots of file types, modify size, color depth and resolution.

Summary:
I have used previous versions of Thumbs Plus in the past. I found it a neat program and as each new version was available I was not disappointed by the upgrades. The latest version has made a dramatic affect in appearence as well as use. I give a hearty Thumbs Up for this product...
