MAGEAXS?
ImageAXS lets you create visual databases to organize and manage
the image, movie, sound, and 3D files on your computer.
The documents it creates (called collections) combine text information
with thumbnail images of the original files, so you can see what
you’re describing, even if the files are on a CD-ROM, an Iomega Zip
disk, or a networked drive that isn’t currently connected to your
computer.
ImageAXS offers several ways for you to view, search, and organize
your collections. You can use ImageAXS to organize your files from
scratch, or by importing information to expand on a database you've
already created.
KEY CONCEPTS
AND TERMS
The basic elements of how ImageAXS works are defined briefly
below. Becoming familiar with these terms will help you learn the
program more quickly.
SOURCE FILES
A source file is any file on your computer (or a separate disk or
storage device) that is catalogued in ImageAXS.
The file is referred to as a source file because it is the source for the
data record created by ImageAXS.
