If you've been here before, you'll see that ImageIngester.com and basepath.com have been combined into a single site, with many fewer pages. Most of what you need, such as the "buy" and "download" links, are right here on the home page. That horrendous download page I used to have is completely gone.
Even the most recent items from the news blog are right here—one fewer page to go to for that, too. You can still keep up-to-date with the RSS feed.

This new email connects to a bug/suggestion-tracking system run by Fog Creek Software called FogBugz.
When you send an email, you'll get a confirmation email right away. I'll get the email just as fast as before, but now it will be easier to track.

A new approach to image ingestion, based on years of experience with ImageIngester. Visual, responsive, convenient, reliable.
Ingestamatic automates the critical, but repetitive, tasks of copying images from a card or camera to your computer. Unlike the Finder, Image Capture, or Windows Explorer, Ingestamatic does the job safely and productively, with lots of added functionality.
Principal features: Rename files, place images into folders, geotag manually or automatically from a GPS track log, add IPTC metadata, save settings as presets, choose images to ingest, preview ingestion (dry-run), convert to DNG, write metadata to JPEGs, backup, launch a post processing app. (more…)
See this chart that compares Ingestamatic and ImageIngester. You'll want to watch the short video tutorials, too (click the icon just below).

Ingestamatic for Everyone!
Ingestamatic Goes to Paris
Used by top pros for over 6 years for ingesting their most critical images. The most highly automated, industrial-strength ingestion app there is.
Saves time and improves reliability by automating critical steps at the start of your workflow: Ingestion with double backup; naming; moving to folders; applying bulk metadata and Camera Raw/Lightroom settings; GPS tagging; converting to DNG; verifying; correlating multi-camera shoots.
Has features that Ingestamatic doesn't have, such as concurrent multi-card ingestion, multi-camera shoots, number-range folders, and disc burning. For a detailed comparison between Ingestamatic and ImageIngester, see this chart. (more…)

The most powerful and productive EXIF changer available for MacOS. Geotagging, too!
Shows and changes EXIF, IPTC and other metadata fields from image files. Can automatically adjust dates ahead or behind, even for multiple images. All metadata fields can be viewed, and all of the most useful ones can be changed.
Supports automatic geotagging, from a track log, and manual geotagging, based on a map.
Now, in Version 3.1, you can export metadata based on a template you create. Use it for generating HTML pages, data files (CSV) for input into a spreadsheet or database, SQL statements, or any other kind of text file.
Uses ExifTool for metadata changes, so it handles a wide range of files, including most raws. (more…)
