MAGIX Photo Manager

MAGIX Photo Manager is an application which provides you with a user-friendly environment for managing media on your computer.

The interface of the program is clean and intuitive. You can use the Explorer-based layout to locate and access photographs, in the "Folder" section.

You can create, load and export a photo album, use a search function, view and edit file properties, find similar images and transfer pictures from digital cameras.

But you can also use a face recognition system, tag people in your pictures, give ratings, as well as create a favorites list, categories and albums.

You can preview media in a small built-in player which is placed on the lower left corner of the screen, enable a slideshow monitor, change the interface theme, enable MAGIX Photo Manager to stay on top of other processes, and more.

In the "Settings" area you can disable dialog animations, enable to display ID3 tags as names in Explorer, set the path to the central cache file, make file associations, modify audio and video preferences (e.g. adjust latency, correct aspect ratio), change slideshow options (e.g. enable soft picture fade), disable MAGIX Photo Manager from automatically updating the MAGIX database, and others.

The program requires a very high amount of system resources, includes a well-drawn help file and has a pretty good response time. It may take a while for the environment to load upon initialization. The user documentation would have been significantly improved with snapshots. Nevertheless, we strongly recommend MAGIX Photo Manager to all users.
