| go to order information What users say about AgaveSPS: “I ordered Agave just before the end of last year - thanks for promptly sending me the Agave software. It was an absolute breeze to set up! So being in software development for over 8 years in the high tech industry, I have to say your Agave package is one of the most efficient, user-friendly applications I've come across. It's clear you've spent a lot of time understanding the stock photo business and designing/developing a system that perfectly matches that business. While I'm just getting started in stock photo submissions, Agave has already saved me an immense amount of time organizing and tracking my images and submissions. Now that I have it, I don't know how I would ever get along without it! I was also quite impressed with the accuracy and extensiveness of the User's Manual. It's hard to get good support these days!!” Colleen Miniuk-Sperry, CMS Fine Art Photography “I have been a user of AgaveSPS for at least 8 years. In that time I have accumulated a database of around 130,000 images which Agave handles just fine. About 4 years ago I completely switched to digital with no problems what so ever. The great thing is that I have a searchable database from the descriptions originally entered in Agave which Agave then exported to the image's metadata fields. I use both Windows and Mac. I kept a Windows computer around for years but now with a MacPro, running XP in Parallels I can run AgaveSPS right along side of my RAW file processing software just like it was a Mac program. The neat thing is I can enter new labels at the same time as I rename the photos (in my Raw processing software) from a day of shooting even if they are different subjects. Using a duel monitor setup I can easily work between the two programs.” Doyle Yoder, DYP inc., Millersburg, Ohio “Agave SPS is an outstanding program for ease of use. I am amazed by the program's nimble ability to cope with the many complexities of stock photography. Agave SPS is a real joy to use.” Tom Danielsen, Images of Natural History, Phoenix, AZ “If you are
looking for
a Windows based solution, look no further. Agave is the full meal deal.
Image database, client databased, delivery memos, invoices, financial
tools,
the list goes on and on. If you are looking for Stock Photo Management
this is your saviour. Just another happy customer!” “It's wonderful to have software
that does one
thing extremely well. I feel like it was designed exactly for me,
unlike
those other hideous database programs. The rarely needed support is
wonderful
and prompt. Agave pays for itself instantly.”
“I sincerely admire the work you did at putting together a software as competent, complete and reliable as Agave and I really wish it became the #1 stock photo management program in Europe. It is so vastly superior to all its competitors! Moreover the support and assistance that
you provide
is really unique and is by itself worth buying the software.”
Morey Milbradt / Bigwide Pictures What an easy, clearly
defined program! WOW! My congratulations to you for putting
it together.” “Your Agave Photo program is truly a God
send! It's
easy to understand and use, and now I can keep track my images and
clients
like never before. It saves me so much time, I can't believe I ever ran
my business without it. I highly recommend Agave to any photographer
wanting
to be more efficient and organized. This is the best business tool you
could invest in.” “Agave has been a tremendous asset
for our small
agency Natural Exposures. We actually bought a competing product and I
tested the two programs side by side before deciding on which one to go
with. The other program has been on the market for probably 15 years
but
it is extremely difficult to figure out. It's powerful but almost
unusable
comparatively. In Agave I was up and running within 15 minutes doing
test
submissions, captions etc. I worked on the other program for literally
days and never did get it up and operational. The other huge advantage
is that all of our nearly 200,000 photo captions which were in
Phototrack
transferred over without a hitch. It's unbelievable how much time that
transfer saved us alone.” “To be sure, there isn't a day I work
in the
office that I don't at some time give thanks for Agave...your periodic
upgrades earn you high marks from all the users I know. My personal
feeling
is that your best days (with Agave) are still ahead.” “Simply put, Agave Stock Solution is
the best
business investment I could have made. The program offers everything I
need as a stock photographer, in
addition,
I feel assured of great service from Randy.”
Terry Donnelly and Mary Liz Austin, Vashon Island, WA “I just want to take this opportunity
to thank
you for a great program. I've been using Agave for a few months now and
I tell you I wish I had purchased it a long time ago. Anyway better
late
than never.” “I work in the healthcare industry with database management and query language. My passion is landscape photography. I know how much work it is to write and maintain a database. After spending about 30 hours creating my own and not being any where near complete, I realized that the purchase price for Agave SPS was actually inexpensive. I had always struggled with filing and then finding my slides and negatives. I had tried another slide labeling program with limited capabilities. When I checked out Agave SPS, I found a database that I could live with and would provide easy searches complete with thumbnail images. I highly recommend this software to any photographer who wants to track and find the submission status, notes, dates, technical data, print labels, and the list goes on.” As an added plus, you will receive personal support for
life and
quick responses to your questions from the photographers / programmers
at Rosette Software.” Nigel Keel, U.K. “In regards to Agave I would like to say that after reading every review and thread that I could find on slide management programs I decided on your system some years back. I could not be more pleased with it's ease of use and capabilities.” Geoff Lawrie, Brisbane, Australia An Agave user recently submitted this quote from one of their clients: “...received. Thanks. FYI, you have the coolest and the best invoices in the market. Picture reference is excellent.” Support Policy Updates & Upgrades Purchasing Agave SPS Printed version of 5.05 user's manual - $30.00 (shipped priority mail) Note to digital shooters: The 5.05 upgrade and full version 5.05 are delivered with a shareware version of the IPTC metadata extraction plug-in.
