Microsoft unveils Expression Media
Microsoft has unveiled Expression Media, a new professional asset management tool that works on Mac OS X systems to visually catalog and organize digital assets for retrieval and presentation. Users can drag-and-drop to import more than 100 different media formats, including digital RAW files. Expression Media features batch processing to rename, convert, or tag hundreds of files at a time while offering search functionality to find and retrieve digital media assets.Users can edit images and track changes with version control, and folder watching keeps catalogs up to date. Microsoft Expression Media is priced at $300, but is available for pre-order from Amazon.com for $280. The software requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

Extensis Portfolio and cato Cumulus both are awkward to run and muddled in their interfaces.
My ideal is a catalog program that just gets on with it and lets me create quick, easy and neat pdf catalog sheets for compatibility. iView is the closest I have come to that.
If only Preview/iPhoto let you save slideshows or graphics collections as multipage pdfs or proofsheets. iPhoto suffers from its lack of support for pdfs and eps files.
btw Does anyone know how to get catalogs to resdie on CD/DVDs and point at the content on the media itself?
It's a shame that MS got their greedy, ignorant mitts on it. I'll wait a while before "upgrading" or taking the time to hunt down something to replace it. The thought of having to rebuild hundreds of Catalogue files makes me ILL.
You can print a multipage PDF from an iPhoto roll or album. From print, choose the settings you want and then click on the pulldown for PDF (bottom left corner) and choose "Save as PDF..."
