Some of the features of Expression Media
Microsoft® Expression® Media 2 is an extremely powerful and customizable digital asset management application that enables you to import, tag, organize, archive, and search and to distribute your ever-growing collection of digital files.

|
|
|
Unlimited visual catalogs
|
|
Drag and drop importing
|
|
|
Add up to 128,000 files per catalog, organized just the way you like. Color labels and catalog sets help you sort and manage them all.
|
|
Add just the assets you want to a particular catalog, whether it's the entire contents of your camera's media card or a few video files from a hard drive.
|
|
Open all those files without worry. Expression Media supports all the file formats you need, and probably a few that you don't. Supported are fonts, movies, text-documents, illustrations, audio-files and images.

Find files anywhere
|
Don't wait for progress bars--Expression Media was built to handle thousands of files with ease.
|
|
See what you're looking at more clearly with large preview images, which are generated when your files are imported.
|
|
Let Expression Media keep track of the location of your files, across all your hard drives, CDs, or media cards. Searches can be done within the current catalog, open catalogs, recent catalogs, or across all catalogs in a folder, and popular searches can be saved for later use.

Offline workflow
|
|
Hierarchical keywords
|
|
Geotagging

Catalogs can be searched, browsed or annotated even when the originals are offline, and changes you make will be synchronized later.
|
|
Don't just tag your picture saying that it's from Europe: Tell your friends that it's from Europe, and the UK, and London, and Chelsea, and Battersea, at 30-40 Elcho Street, upstairs and to the right!
|
|
Geotag your images to an actual location anywhere on Earth with Virtual Earth GPS mapping.

Support for Industry-standard metadata

Use professional quality RAW format importing (using either Windows Imaging Components on Windows or CoreImage processing on the Mac) to work with files from the most popular professional and prosumer digital cameras.
|
|
Work on whichever platform is most convenient, and share catalogs with colleagues on either operating system.
|
|
Import your files and EXIF data will automatically be added to your tags. Add, edit, or export metadata in IPTC, XMP, or Dublin Core formats to make sharing of information easier among groups of all kinds. Edit your images in Adobe® Photoshop® and Expression Media 2 will automatically update your metatags.
