v2014.100 includes the following:Welcome to 2014 (Overview) Qimage Ultimate 2014 comes with some major improvements and new pricing for 2014. UI improvements reduce eyestrain while making controls more readable, and new image databasing tools allow you to add user descriptions to any folder, album, or photo, with the ability to search those descriptions to locate important photos and events. Entering user descriptions couldn't be easier: just browse to a folder and your thumbnails are displayed automatically. If you would like to enter a description for that folder, simply type the description under the folder name on the main window. It's as simple as that! Want to enter a description for individual photos? Click the small "i" button on any thumbnail and enter your description. The "i" turns blue, letting you know a description exists for that thumbnail. Hold your mouse over any blue "i" indicator on any thumbnail to see the description, or click to change.
These non-invasive tools allow you to enter data and search your existing photo folders without being forced to fumble with clumsy "collections". If you already have your photos stored in sensible folders by event, date, subject, etc. and you don't need the new data tools: simply access your existing folder structure immediately. If you'd like to supplement your existing photos (or locations) with user descriptions, just enter them as you go. No clumsy data workflows required: no "importing" or "syncing" necessary and no new hoops to jump through just because you want to be able to enter and search descriptions!
Oh, and the 2014 pricing? With all these improvements, you'd think we increased the price. But we didn't! Regular price is now $74.99 with $5 off for trying the demo, so you can get Qimage Ultimate for $69.99 by ordering from the trial!
