Intelligent Photo Importing!

Are you guilty of letting your digital photos build up on your camera's memory card? It's not that you keep forgetting to import them into your computer, it's just that you've been putting it off as a major chore - you have to hook up your camera, import the pictures, sort them by date, and organize them, even though the numerically assigned filenames (think DP0003.JPG means "beach"?) make no sense to you.

RoboImport literally makes importing and organizing your digital photos a hands-free affair! All you need to do is connect your digital camera to your computer - RoboImport takes care of everything else!

Don't believe me? RoboImport automatically launches when you connect your camera, creates separate folders to hold your images, then imports your photos into those folders, automatically renaming files and performing image editing operations to make them perfect! Wait, it gets better - RoboImport also embeds copyright information into each photo, backs up the entire collection to external disk, deletes the pictures from the camera card, and ejects the camera as a device! You're only responsible for hooking up the camera at the beginning, and disconnecting the camera when RoboImport is done.

RoboImport solves one of the stickiest issues with digital photos - obscure file names. Using RoboImport's unique token system of variables, you'll be able to maintain your photo collection as a series of easily-identifiable file names stored in descriptive folders. RoboImport is even smart enough to separate your high-res RAW images from your JPEG files!

Michael R. Are RoboImport's features a subset of PicaJet's?
Aug 19 2012 at 5:38am
John H If this could resize the photos into a subfolder of the originals, then this would be useful to me.

Did I miss a resize feature on your website?
Aug 19 2012 at 10:15am
Murat Korkmazov Thanks for the comment. RoboImport is a subset of the Daminion functionality.
PicaJet Vendor - Aug 19 2012 at 10:15am
Murat Korkmazov This can be easily done by our PicaJet or Daminion.
PicaJet Vendor - Aug 19 2012 at 10:28am
John H I do resizing stamping and watermarking Using Thumbs Plus 7. It is not fully automatic but it is simple and suites my needs.
Aug 19 2012 at 11:07am
Michael R. Thanks for the answer. But because Daminion is way beyond my budget, let's ask the question a little different:

What can RoboImport do, what your PicaJet can't do?
Aug 19 2012 at 10:55pm
Murat Korkmazov Michael, Daminion Standalone version is free of charge at the moment.

RoboImport is for importing images from digital cameras and perform some pre-processing operations during image copying "on-the-fly":
- Rename files and folders based on rename templates
- Auto-Rotate JPEG files losslessly, fix DPI
- Convert RAW files into DNG format
- Backup your files
- It can be configured to be launched automatically when you'll insert your flash card into card-reader or just connect your camera. Then transfer your files from the flash card to a computer, release the card device and close the program.

PicaJet is a program for logical photo organization based on virtual categories. (Daminion is a new, enhanced version of the PicaJet)

HBOY My advice would be to try first. It will not function correctly on my Windows 7, and since it is not being updated*******
Oct 1 2012 at 11:20am
Murat Korkmazov HBOY, could you tell me about the problem you faced with RoboImport. You can contact me to support at daminion.net.
