Support for RAW formats from the most popular cameras and industry-standard metadata formats means that your metadata is already there. Keep keywords consistent with custom dictionaries -- just drag and drop to quickly tag thousands of files. Rename an entire folder of files or change their format easily with the software's batch conversion, and use flexible scripting tools to get those tedious and time consuming tasks out your way. Expression Media helps you make certain that your precious digital assets are protected with built-in archiving and backup features.

Among the tasks that Expression Media can take care of are the loads of basic image editing tasks that we all loath, but that must be done. Need to rotate, crop, and resize dozens and dozens of images? No problem. Expression Media will take care of it, with the color management profiles preserved throughout. And you can quickly adjust levels, sharpness, brightness, or color balance yourself. With the Expression Media Encoder, re-encoding video is as easy as converting images, and you can easily apply filters or add watermark logos to your video files, or re-encode video for optimized playback on the Web or Windows Media handheld devices.
