What is your favourite photo database freeware - I have tried Picasa2,
but could not share database info across a wireless network.

Cheers

I've written my own. I'm strongly bent that way, and there wasn't much
available when I went digital three years ago. It doesn't run on
Windows, yet.

Lots of folks seem to like Picasa2. It's surprising that it's not
network-freindly. You might get more help if you described how
it went wrong.

Select "Folder..." as the device and point it to your network resource.

Would be great having a software which automatically analysed the images
and assigned keywords using artifical intelligence and computer vision
techniques.

Or failing that, a software which classifies/sorts the images according
to areas of homogeneous colour: images with lot of sky, lot of green,
lot of skin tones etc.

By that criteria, wouldn't a green car be classified with a tree? Or a
brown person with brown leaves?

I'd take a look at Pixvue. Free and integrates itself into Windows.
Fast searches and seems to be bug free these days.

I believe the OP was asking about free software.
I am doubtful he's going to find the wireless sharing capability he
wants in freeware...
