Kalimages PRO - build a professional images database working with metadata standards (IPTC and XMP)

Contact :

Kalimages PRO is an innovative tool to build an information database and a search engine for images or digital photographies.
It collects all standard metadata embedded in your images: legacy IPTC/IIM and new IPTC Core, but also any custom data that may have been written into your images using your proprietary XMP custom schemas. 

Kalimages PRO professional software utility gathers and loads information directly from images into a relational SQL database for full text indexation of image repositories.  

Selected image folders are scanned for extraction of embbedded IPTC/IIM, IPTC Core and custom XMP data that describes each image.
