Software that is used to organize digital photos. Also including image editing functions to crop and touch up the images, a comprehensive photo manager uses a database for cataloging files in storage as well as CDs, DVDs and USB drives. For retrieval, it provides a search on keywords that have been added to each image description by the user. Sophisticated photo managers, such as EZ Viewer DCM 4 by GJC Software, allow user-defined categories to become icons for fast cataloging. Clicking the icon applies all its attributes to selected images. See
