That’s a lot more convenient than creating new galleries for temporary work and then having to later delete the ones you don’t want.Īnother enhanced function is Portfolio 8’s ability to do custom sorts by letting you simply drag files into the order you want. If you like the results, you can save it. A Scratchpad gallery is a temporary gallery for experimentation. A great example is the new Scratchpad gallery, which you can either generate yourself, or Portfolio can create when you do a find. In several instances, the company has extended existing functionality to make the program much more useful. So the net result is faster access to at least some imported images. However, thanks to the new Fast Cataloging feature, I could start working on images (for example, adding metadata) approximately 10 seconds after starting an import-something I could not do in version 7.

On my 450MHz Power Mac G4, it took 7 minutes and 15 seconds to import and process a batch of 79 images (that includes reading the metadata, generating thumbnail images, auto-rotating, and logging the file creator, date, and type) that’s a 26 percent slowdown from version 7, which took just 5 minutes and 48 seconds for the same operation.

In version 8, importing images into a catalog takes significantly longer than it did in version 7. By automatically updating saved finds, images are available immediately. Portfolio 8 features streamlined creation of Smart Galleries.
