Photo Management Software

[fotodog]

Not sure how many will remember (or used) InView/Stockview software to manage their photos and business, but since James Cook shut down the software business a few years ago, I'm wondering what other programs are out there that are similar.

Most that I've seen so far are subscription models, which I don't really want; also don't want it to be Cloud based.

So far, fotoBiz X comes the closest . . . you buy it once, keep it on your desktop, and it has most features you could want. The biggest drawback (for me) is that the templates for such things as invoices can't be modified. With InView, it took some work to modify the templates but it was possible.

So what software are you using? Any recommendations?

From your website and info above I infer you need this for business - to write contracts, track licensing, invoice customers, etc?

Number 15 on this 2019 article names Light Blue Software from the UK as a perpetual license, desktop app.

I also recommend you look at some photography trade organization web sites like https://ppa.com and https://apanational.org/ to see if they offer recommendations.
