From iView Media to Capture One, Luminar and Lightroom…

iView Media managed photos and videos and was adopted by both amateur and professional photographers. It was the ideal solution of the time to manage your images. 

Powerful import functions, total control over Annotations (IPTC EXIF), multiple Display Modes, batch processing, powerful and intuitive search, and, finally, various exports were on the menu of features of this super cataloger.

This great software was taken over by Microsoft, then sold to PhaseOne…then left to be abandoned.

A software that, like Apple’s Aperture, was one of the leaders in its category, and which is finally forgotten despite its extreme technical quality.

Therefore, it is not surprising that many Avalanche users have contacted us to have CYME support the ability to export images “trapped” in older versions of  iView Media  to current editing or cataloging software like Lightroom, Capture One or Luminar…

This summer, a library for reading the raw iView Media format was released in the public domain, and we are happy to announce that soon all versions of Avalanche will be input compatible with iView Media (as they already are with Aperture).

As for Aperture, input only is supported, as these programs are no longer maintained.

Transferring your photos to Capture One, Lightroom or Luminar while keeping the majority of your original album, keywords, people, events and metadata structures is now absolutely possible.

Update: the 12th of October 2021 CYME made available new versions of Avalanche  supporting iView MediaPro.

Discover it now!
