fotostation classic

Hi Guys,
hoping that someone may have an answer for me because Im stuck in a dilema. I had a major crash on my MAC not long ago and had OS X 10.3.5 installed as the new system. Everythings good except that my poor old fotostation 4.5 doesnt work on the new system. So I downloaded classic from the website as a trial and its great...apart from the fact that if i purchase it, i have to buy it in US$$$ which once i do the conversion rate it works out to nearly $800!!! So i dont care how good the program is, $800 is a bit too much. My question is, has anyone had any experience with similar programs? And if so, what program is it?

Re: fotostation classic

Fotostation classic dies nor work with MacOS 10.x
You have to run it under 9.x
You can upgrade classic for about $350 if you want
Fot that money you also may use Photomechanics for browsing plus iView for editing and archiving

Re: fotostation classic

Hi Rick,

FotoStation Classic is light years ahead of FotoStation 4.5, as I'm sure you've discovered with the trial version. The upgrade price from v4.5 is AUS$530, still pretty pricey I know but better than $800! With the Pro versions your local supplier provides sales and support. In Australia Maxwells distribute Fotoware so check their pricing - and support.

FotoStation is great because it does double duty as an image browser and asset manager. Since you're on a Mac I'd also recommend the Rob Galbraith two punch solution of Photo Mechanic and iView MediaPro. The current version of MediaPro doesn't network happily, consider Extensis Portfolio if you work in a large network enviroment, e.g. stock library.

-- Robert.

Re: fotostation classic

I just upgraded from 4.5 on the mac to new Classic for OSX, it cost about £100.0 for the upgrade.

Re: fotostation classic

Hi Kevin,

Was that upgrade from FotoStation Pro 4.5 or FotoStation 4.5 the prosumer version? And did you purchase from Fotoware direct?

Thanks.
