The Lumix S9 is Panasonic's newest full-frame mirrorless camera. It allows users to create their own custom looks for out-of-camera colors and is the first full-frame Lumix camera aimed squarely at social media content creators.
The Sony a9 III is the world's first full-frame mirrorless camera to feature a global electronic shutter with simultaneous readout. After extensive testing of this 120 fps sports camera, to see what you gain (and, perhaps, lose).
The Fujifilm X100VI is the sixth iteration of Fujifilm's classically-styled large sensor compact. A 40MP X-Trans sensor, in-body stabilization and 6.2K video are the major updates, but do they make the camera better?

With the above questions to the fore, my first task was to identify and check out the potential packages. Of course that involved reading the specifications for the various products, taking a look at the manuals or online videos, and, in promising cases, quickly testing out the software where free trials were available.
digiKam offers most of the functionality that I want, including audio and video file support, and the ability to group versions of the same file together by dragging one thumbnail onto another.
Thirdly, on a support issue, my related query on the mailing list ( -t-write-metadata-to-CR2-files-under-Windows-td4669747.html) went unanswered. I get the impression that the digiKam project team could do with some more Windows contributors. Perhaps the Mac version has better support.
Somewhat unusually digiKam do have a user forum on the web site (at ), but it is entirely unused. Perhaps posting a message would elicit a response, but all the support is currently on a mailing list; though effective, this may be off-putting for some.
Like digiKam, Daminion provides almost all of the functionality that I need, including writing metatdata to RAW files (or sidecar files) without problems. It was also stable under test.
At the moment, if the image data (as opposed to the metadata) within the file becomes corrupted, none of the packages warn that this has happened. Third party fixity products, such as ExactFile, are incompatible with DAM software, since changing the metadata flags all the files affected as potentially corrupt.
All the hard work is accomplished in Adobe Bridge using a wide range of File Info templates that can be modified on the fly if required or used again and again with minor revisions. We use a standard range of Keywords that we have developed and find that it works extremely well. Sure, it takes a great deal of effort and time to add the metadata to the RAW files, but this is time and effort that have to be spent somewhere in the life cycle of the images to be documented.
All the critical exposure adjustments etc are also carried out in Bridge at this time, meaning that Media Pro (for example) can read the edits and display RAW WITH the corrections, allied to searching after extracting all the metadata, which is a brilliant bonus. Portfolio could read RAW files but not extract any exposure adjustments nor metadata. Of course the latest generation of RAW files are not supported by Portfolio, making it useless for this task now.
All output is accomplished by importing the adjusted RAW files, with their sidecar xmp files, into Adobe Lightroom where nothing else, apart from cropping and adding GPS coordinates if necessary, is done before the files are output using a wide range of presets that we have developed. This ranges from outputting to high resolution TIFFs or JPEGs, through producing newspaper-sized files, right down to web media sized files.
From what I read of others using DAM programs I believe that many are making life harder for themselves than they need. For example, if I do subsequently need to alter the metadata in a file I prefer to add it through Adobe Bridge and document the changes through an update in Portfolio or Media Pro, without ever physically opening the image file in any program.
First off, my hard drive filing system is sacrosanct to DAM set up. Software-wise, if all else fails, that filing system is always going to be there. Also essential for any backup and archiving operations,
Next stop, Photo Supreme (PSu). Need to add here that prior to the PSu, was using IDImager from about version 3.xx. Before this and in between have looked at various DAM and other filing type applications as they have come up and, keep on reverting back to PSu.
Hi Nilson. This is a fairly old article, by years even, so I just thought I would bring to your attention that Digikam is now up to version 7.0.1. Perhaps you may already know that yourself if you are a committed Digikam user.
Compared to what it used to offer, the current version might meet your expectations better than in the past.
Hi Nilson. I am curious to know where you stand with Digikam nowadays since it has progressed to v8.2. as of 2024-02-20 I use it as my first choice because it has been around for the longest time and constantly gets improved. Being free and open source with no subscriptions makes it even better.
Great article. I also use DXO Optics Pro for editing and I was curious to see how you handle the export from DXO back into Photo Supreme. I tried it but it opens a new PS software instance instead of going back to the original screen.
digiKam is now at version 5.10, Daminion is at version 4.6, and Photo Supreme is at version 3. This article is rather dated. Has anyone found/created a current comparison, possibly with IMatch as well?
That is when I saw your review of Photo Supreme. I too am mainly looking for a keyworder so I can find my images. I use Downloader Pro to get they off the memory card and give them standard names and DxO to process the raw images. So far in my testing, it is looking good.
Hi Mike,
thank you for wonderful article.
I am choosing now between digiKam and Photo Supreme. So can you tell please, (1) how does it go on a long run, and (2) what advantages has Photo Supreme over digiKam, from your point of view?
I am French, and from here I knew 2 other DAM applications that looks great, and one is special for photographer and very affordable, I juste wanted to share that to your list.

I let you make your opinion.
great article, even in 2018. but if we assume the top 3 list are still mostly the same, i wonder if some of the shortcomings of the first two are no longer an issue thus am interested in a top 3 showdown update (leaving the rest aside minus perhaps some bonus entry). as of now, photo supreme seems a safe bet re metadata/keywords, import/export exit plan, DAM, etc.
As an adjunct to DAM software, I would also need some way to categorize all of my thousands of images by their contents. Instead of me viewing and applying keywords one image at a time, having an app scan and sort images by what they contain would be really useful. I could then approve or reject the classifications bu at least the first step would be done. Anyone know of such an app that runs locally without an Internet connection for a reasonable price? Being able to be integrated into a DAM like PhotoSupreme would be a big plus but even not, it would still be great.
I think my other general comments were recognized and to what ever point of view (good or bad aspects), shared. Those being documentation (none), ingest features (many, learnable by trial and error), multi-platform differences (Mac being poorer of the two options) and output control (less than ideal or currently available in LR).
Will I purchase it after 10 days? I am not sure yet. I need to find good working stability in database operations for me to confidently invest time into processing all my images into PSU. It has everything I would need from a DAM, just that stability was not there yet. I discovered the settings and functions by now and for the remaining 10 days will be running stability tests and I will see.
I start by using Downloader Pro to get the images off of my card, rename them and save them to date labeled subfolders. Then I use DxO to make non-destructive adjustments to the RAW files and create various JPG versions for general viewing and distribution. If more extensive adjustment are needed, I now use Affinity. especially if various types of stacking are needed. Since I work locally and only later transfer the files to a network drive, I save PSU for when the images are on the network. I could do it earlier but I would have to constantly have to re-point the database to changed locations. As well, until the adjustments are finalized, PSU would be constantly resynching as the images change. So far I find the DAM in PSU to be easy to use and have not had a problem with it. Probably only using a few of its many features which is where a better user manual might come in handy. The online user forum is a great place to ask and learn when I get stuck.
Interesting that you wanted one that would write to raw files. The problem with this: If you change a keyword, and want that new keyword to replace all occurences of the old keyword, it takes a long time. If you add a keyword to 2000 images then 2000 large files have to be opened, modified, and closed.
But I think that this underlines the importance of making sure that whatever DAM you choose to use, you have to make sure that the information you put in there is exportable in some useful way. And that the metadata is embedded in the image files (or maybe sidecars?) as much as possible.
Spot on Per. Making sure that your data can always be extracted has always been my number one goal: Your data is Your data.
As a result, Photo Supreme uses industry standard database formats, can export (meta)data to CSV, and Photo Supreme even writes its catalog data to XMP in an open and readable format. With this you can reconstruct catalog hierarchies, and Portfolio/collection structures.
