p.1 #1 · Event Photo Systems


Was looking for event software to allow multi station viewing and ran across this software at www.eventphotosystems.com Downloaded a demo but went back to their site and it is down and has been down for about 4 days. Anyone know if they are still in business?

Anyone use their software and care to comment? Like/hate it?

Thanks

Event Photo Systems is like a 86' Audi Quattro, great price, lots of cool gadgets but don't expect every button to work every time you push them.

If your doing a small show on a few PC's I would look into 5 Minute Photo the standard version. For $129 you can't go wrong.

If you can afford to spend more then skip the Pro version and buy Photo Parata. It's much easier to use, faster and more stable.

Good Luck,
-Luke

I looked at 5 min photo but the limitation to only having files on the C drive unless you buy the pro version was a killer for me. I have found 2 differend JAlbum skins including the one lister here and both have issues that I have not been able to resolve. Still looking...

I've been testing out Photo Parata, and have just purchased it. I've found it's very configurable, and I've managed to get around (kinda) the IE7 (and therefore XP/Vista) requirement for the kiosks. Note the "Kinda" part.

I had some concerns, and the owner worked with me to help solve them. I've found a way to integrate it with Downloader Pro (from Breeze Systems) so that I can still have my folder creation and renaming.

The downside to Parata for me was the limitation of only 2 viewing stations unless you bought the more expensive version. I am shooting what might be a one time thing so spending 4-500 for software doesn't make too much sense for me. Appreciate all the help.

Dan, if it's only a one-time event, look into using Picasa or something else free.

John - can you elaborate on your "kinda" getting around IE7?

Thanks.

PM(s) sent. There's limitations on the "kinda" and I don't want to make anyone think you can easily get around IE7.
