We’re pleased to announce the availability of DigitalPro 6 for Windows, the first and only Digital Asset Management (DAM) software designed entirely by and for photographers. For nearly a decade thousands of pro and enthusiast digital shooters have used DigitalPro to review, organize and catalog their images.

With the release of DigitalPro 6, Pro Shooters LLC once again breaks new ground with industry-leading features including integrated image validation and safe backup, background multi-threaded captioning, image stacks, support for HDR and Panorama image editing and up to six different user selectable editors. It is also faster than ever and includes support for media file management and thumbnailing as well as a full implementation of both IPTC and XMP standards for image files….
