Media Purveyor - 04 Nov 2005 00:33 GMT

I am the author of Media Purveyor (http://www.mediapurveyor.com), a new
software package with some unique features. Here is a brief list of the
novel functionality:
1) Portable Descriptions for ALL file formats. Media Purveyor can store
information inside files such as JPG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, TGA, BMP, MPG,
MP3, and WMV. For other files it stores descriptive information in an
XML file that can be shared in the community.
2) Descriptive techniques include Keywords, Custom Entry Screens
(decide exactly what you and your peers wish to store), and Description
Templates.
3) Lossless Image Editing for ALL file formats. 30 different lossless
editing effects can be layered together to produce some nice results.
This feature will be vastly improved in the very next version to
feature a stencil system.
4) In addition to using its own proprietary technology, MP will also
read and allow you to search using EXIF information, JPEG Comments, PNG
Key/Values, File Information (from OS), and Image Metrics.

Media Purveyor also includes many features you would expect of a strong
image viewer/media management package including:
1) Browser, Full Screen, and Slideshow modes
2) Image Histogram
3) Batch Image Conversion
4) Batch Renaming
5) Thumbnail Generation/Image Resizing
6) Contact Sheet Generation
7) TWAIN Support
8) Print Images or Attach them to an e-mail
9) Background music player
10) Collections provide a virtual folder organization technique.

Image Support: 50 formats including JPEG, JPEG2000, Camera RAW, PNG,
TIFF, TGA, GIF, PCX, and more.

Support for many audio/video formats including: MPEG, WMV, MP3, WMA and
more.

System Requirements: Windows ME/XP/2K/NT

I do not mean to clutter this board with an advertisement but I seek
feedback from the community.

Media Purveyor is free.

What about DNG? Many people hold their raws only as DNG, perhaps
converting straight from the memory card, and therefore won't use
products that don't support it.

(Being a variant of TIFF, I suspect it wouldn't be hard to add it).

Version 2.0 does not. Version 2.1 will support DNG. Expect 2.1 to
release by November 16th with:
*Expanded Camera RAW Support
*DNG Support
*Stencils in the lossles and conventional image editor.
*Quicktime Support (Windows Media Player formats already support ex.
MPG, WMV, WMA, MP3, etc)
*3 additional editing effects
*Tooltips and more User Inteface improvements

Thank you so much for calling my attention to this gross oversight!
