I need a photo editing software that can attach attributes to a photo and than use those attribute for searching and updating

re:

hotobase comes to mind.

But basically all softwares that gives you the option to browse for images will allow you to add keywords to the file...

I'm in the middle of experimenting with that myself. I've downloaded a trial version of iMatch, which looks excellent, and also the latest version of ACDSee, which seems to work well too - both about the same cost (US$50). I still need to see whether ACDSee gives me easy retrieval options for images on CD as well as my hard drive. Also, it's occurred to me to check whether Windows Explorer XP has any such talents hidden under it's flashy exterior.... I'll report back.

I got PS Elements recently and I've been using it a fair amount for level adjustments and the like. I tried to do a panorama in it the other day though and I can't find a mask command in it (I like to use graduated fills in layer masks to blend adjacent photos together, helps to hide the joins and my poor PS skills). Is there one I am looking straight through?

re:

Nobody's rushed in to answer your question, so I'll try. I use Elements all the time, but I'm no expert, ok.
