Portfolio 8.5

• Organize Your  Files Effortlessly. Don’t move a muscle. Using your existing folder and file structure, Portfolio will find and keyword your images, layouts, PDFs—anything digital. Portfolio then presents your work as beautiful previews so you can find your files VISUALLY. The result? A powerful visual database that we call a ‘catalog’.
• Customize Your Viewing ExperienceView your collection in a way that works for you – a full list of metadata, just the thumbnails, and anything in between. Set the thumbnail size, information displayed, thumbnail borders, sort order, and more. Review the details on screen or print the results as contact sheets.
• Search and Find With EaseFind everything in one place- at a moment’s notice. The robust built-in database that lets you find files on drives or discs based on name, date, size, color mode, project, file format —anything you want to track.
• Find, Drag and Drop  Portfolio Express Palette gives you immediate drag-and-drop access to your files. Need a logo while working in InDesign? Pop open the palette, search on ‘logo’, drag and drop.
  
  
   

It's a Powerful Visual Database
 
Find your photos, layouts, graphics, presentations and more in a snap. Adding files to your Portfolio catalog – a visual database – is as simple as having Portfolio automatically watch folders for changes. Portfolio will create a searchable database of thumbnails, file names, folder names, file information and extracted metadata from XMP, EXIF and IPTC fields. Further organize your catalog by adding keywords like project name, client name, or location - anything you can dream up.

Find It Fast
 
Search through years of work – in seconds. A QuickFind for “logo” presents you with a visually organized thumbnail view of all logos. Narrow the results by adding additional criteria, such as file type. Narrow your logo search even further by filtering for a particular client name or project.
 
Portfolio finds files wherever they are located. Locate assets stored on your hard drive, your network, and removable media like DVDs and external hard drives. Maintain information on your files even after they are archived to DVD.
 
View Your Files Your Way
 
Display the information that is important to you. Instead of trudging through meaningless lists of generic icons, see the beauty inside your files revealed through thumbnails. Display only thumbnail images or expose detailed information. Choose exactly what information shows besides your assets - filename, size, status, ratings, notes, RAW file information and more.
