Official Release V1.1 Posted

PictureFlow LLC, makers of YarcPlus, the popular Canon RAW conversion program, today announced the launch of the official release version of their latest product, Archive Creator; an innovative archiving solution for the Windows OS that deals directly with the issues of archiving digital photographic images onto removable media. Archive Creator will automatically span an Archive Set across multiple CDs thereby maximizing the storage potential while minimizing the time required to organize the files in an efficient manner.

This new official release version 1.1 builds on the success of the pre-release version that has been available for the past month. Based largely on user feedback, this version includes an enriched feature set including..

Additional Index options
Additional support for RAW file formats (now including most RAW files from Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Minolta, Fuji, and others)
Additional support for JPEG2000 files
Added CD Burner compatibility
Faster Index processing

During the archive process, Archive Creator automatically makes an HTML "Web Style" Index of the all of the source files within the Archive Set. Even from most popular RAW file formats including Canon, Nikon, and others. This Index of the entire Archive Set is written onto each CD (or optionally just 1 or a separate CD). This is extremely powerful as you can then view the thumbnails and viewing images from the entire Archive Set from any 1 of the CDs. This means that later if you are looking for an image, you can insert any 1 of the CDs from the Archive Set and find the image that you are looking for without having to shuffle CDs. The index is written in pure HTML and does not require any special software to be on the viewing computer except for Internet Explorer (or compatible browser). The Archive CDs are compatible with both Windows and Mac systems and most Internet Browser versions.

Version 1.1 supports the burning of CD-R media, with DVD support planned very soon in a free upcoming upgrade. The new V1.1 software is available by download and will run in a free demo mode for an unlimited time. The introductory price of Archive Creator V1.1 is $40 including near term upgrades.
