Pixel!DB

What are you going to do with all of those images?

Pixel!DB, an image database, allows easy storage, indexing, searching and retrieval of thousands of images. You can create multiple databases for the various applications you use -- images for photo collections, tool sketches, parts libraries, and much more. Use drag and drop features or the import function to add new images to the database, or use Pixel!SCAN to scan images directly into the database. With each image in the database, you can add a title, keyword, description and an unlimited amount of user-defined notes. After adding images to the database, you can quickly browse through a list of titles of images to find the one of interest. As you flip through the image titles, Pixel!DB provides a complete update of the display of the current low resolution image and associated textual data. And, if you need to locate a group of images, use the powerful query mechanisms of Pixel!DB to quickly locate images based on their associated textual data. Multiple users can search for and retrieve an image from the database simultaneously.

This member of the Pixel!FX family of integrated imaging products has application in a wide variety of markets. It has been designed to operate efficiently on all popular UNIX platforms. Displays supported include most monochrome, grayscale, 8-bit or 24-bit color display controllers.

It offers an icon-based user interface that includes complete point-and-click functionality. The use of tear-off menus and icon toolbars allows you to customize your display. Extensive drag and drop support gives you intuitive control of powerful image manipulation operations.

It also provides unprecedented speed and performance in the most demanding image processing environments. The result is increased user productivity with less time spent waiting for display refreshes and file saves.
