Retrieva is a Digital Asset Management system that catalogues and organises your media. With Retrieva you can view images, movies, audio files, 3D Studio and AutoCAD DXF files, PDF documents and more, right from the application.

Retrieva also has built in support for up to 32 simultaneous web users, who can access the database through any web browser without the need for a separate web server.

Here are some key features of "Retrieva":
Built using solid, fully relational database technology.
Unlimited database size.
Preview Quark XPress & PDF documents.
Intuitive searching.
Find images that are similar to each other.
Extensive metadata support.
Built in image editor and audio & movie player.

What's New:
Added new Comments side panel for adding notes to media. (see http://www.retrieva.com/support/manual/views/side_panel/comments/ )
Added new Versions side panel. (see http://www.retrieva.com/support/manual/views/side_panel/versions/ )
You can now drag media from Retrieva into other applications allowing you to drag images directly into Photoshop or Quark (using the supplied MatrixDragAndDrop QuarkXPress XTension) or other media to the Finder.
Imported Quark documents have always included page previews (using the supplied MatrixPage2Pict Quark XTension) but now those saved with iView Multimedia's iViewXT have page previews too.
Lots of other things have been added or improved.

Requirements:
G3 or better processor
800 X 600 monitor resolution
