http://blogs.msdn.com/b/david_sayed/archive/2008/04/03/expression-media-survey-results.aspxTwo weeks ago I opened a survey to learn more about iView and Expression Media customers, who use the product primarily for managing photos. Since a number of you took the time to offer the requested feedback, I wanted to share with you some of the surveyen-USTelligent Evolution Platform Developer Build (Build: 5.6.50428.7875)http://blogs.msdn.com/b/david_sayed/archive/2008/04/03/expression-media-survey-results.aspx#8398096Tue, 15 Apr 2008 22:23:21 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:8398096Richard<P>I would also have participated if I'd known about the survey. I bought iView without realising its imminent switch to Expression but I happily migrated over to EM and have been using it ever since though I wish the top menus were more attractive. </P> <P>Nevertheless, it is an invaluable system to catalogue my fast-growing collection sourced not so much from new digital pictures but from recently-scanned images from my 20-year archive that I'm desperately to get on-line before my eyesight goes.</P> <P>What shocked me though was that only 3% use it to edit. EM is my main editing tool so I'm wondering here what I'm missing out on to sort and rate my media before annotating and processing via CaptureOne. </P> <P>Richard. &nbsp;</P><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=8398096" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/david_sayed/archive/2008/04/03/expression-media-survey-results.aspx#8396332Tue, 15 Apr 2008 06:50:07 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:8396332aniemann<P>If you want to reach xm users, why not email the survey questions to them? I believe you have everyone's email address somewhere. I would have loved to participate - iView/Xpression - is important to us, but I just don't have the time to troll through the forums a lot. </P> <P>It is in fact very important to us as it allows people who are not database users to still find images because of its intuitive interface. The other image databases are just not that way and people who aren't trained on them end up finding excuses not to use them, which means either images don't get used, or we have to spend time to find them for them (we have a couple hundred thousand images and use multiple iview catalogs that staff use to find the images they need)....Andy</P><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=8396332" width="1" height="1">
