AtomicView is a powerful organizer for all your media files.
What should strike you at first is the interface, which is nothing like your traditional Mac application. I know I needed a little time to adjust to it, but after playing around with it I found the interface quite enjoyable. AtomicView switches between windows quickly full screen view is well implemented.
Tthe bottom half is reserved for folder browsing. You'll be able to structure your media in groups and smart folders. The top part shows your selection and a preview window. You'll also find that AtomicView handles a wide choice of metadata, including EXIF and Photoshop.
I was also well impressed with the search function, which displays results really quickly.
Switching between windows and browsing through your files is really simple, yet I was a little disappointed not to find mouse scrolling, a great way to display your media quickly.
The interface gets a little getting used to, yet AtomicView is a beautiful and highly flexible media organizer to handle large amounts of files.
