Digital archive software

If I read the question correctly (software), it looks like you need
hardware - a photo/slide scanner. There was recently a number of posts on
this same topic on the Leps-l bulletin board (you could check their
archives on the web). There are some really good ones but cost about $500
to $1000 for really good ones. The best thing to do is visit the various
stores that sell these and check out the models and features. I'm sure
various other TAXACOM subscribers will post some specifics here as to what
they use and recommend. I still have not gotten one - which I will
eventually need to do.

 I'm looking for software that will allow me to archive photo print and
color slide material in an easily accessible digital format, the goal being
to lose as little resolution as possible when the image is displayed in
digital format.   The other important characteristic is to be able to have
a separate window or place in which to annotate the image, much like a
collection label, and have this information readily accessible as an
addendum when the image is displayed on the computer.   I know that this
can be done on the MAC as a standard procedure with the "info" option but
I'm looking for something that will work for the PC.  Any info would be
most welcome.
