DigitalPro 4 Software

Which DAM (Digital Assest Management) program does Moose Peterson use? DigitalPro 4.0! Why? It’s real imple…SPEED! I want to be behind the camera and not the computer!

Can we talk for a minute? I'm a businessman, the business is putting my images into the hands of my clients NOW! This requires a whole lot. It requires that first, the images are uploaded, sorted and filed quickly, accurately and safely right from the camera. It then requires that after this process, the image can be found, fast, safely and preciedly and then put into the hands of my client. Of course, none of this means diddly if I don't have the image in the first place. I can make this all happen with one word, DigitalPro!

I want one thing from my DAM (Digital Asset Management) program, to get back out shooting FAST! I need to be able to upload images fast (DigitalPro being the ONLY program taking advantage of Lexar’s multiple readers so I can upload up to 4 cards with one click), I need to sort my images FAST (DigitalPro again being the first to nest NEF files behind the Jpegs for single click editing/filing) and I need to find ALL my folders & images at once and not have to sort through or create new libraries all the time. I'm into the KISS theory.

DigitalPro like myself, is Window OS only. I don’t want my computer’s resources swallowed up by my DAM and DigitalPro takes up the least of all DAMs. Hey, there’s no team of Window programers as good or know how to get the most out of Windows like David Caridnal, the genius behind the DigitalPro coding!

When it comes to Post Processing, if I’m going to post process I’m doing to do it right. I’m going to use DigitalPro to Publish (copy) my NEF to a Temp file and then open that file copy with Capture NX and process it properly and fully. Than, I’m going to finish that photo in the only program, the ONLY program for finishing images, Photoshop. Yeah, you can buy DAMs that do all of that, but if you’re going to make a large print from those programs, someone like myself is going to see the difference.

You don’t have to take my word for it, try it for yourself…FREE…for 30days. You can download a full version (this is the Pro Edition) and use it for 30 days. In fact, we insist you do just that before you buy. DigitalPro is not for everyone. If you need lots of bells and whistles, tool for fixing what you should have done right in the camera, than more than likely DigitalPro isn’t for you. But if you want speed, efficiently and the tools a professional needs to manage and make money from your images, that I know you’ll fall in love with DigitalPro!
