IMatch (Match Image Management) is shareware digital asset management application for Windows. Imported images can be sorted and organized in categories. It supports most raw image formats natively, it reads Exif and can edit IPTC data. The program includes Slideshow functions, basic image editing features, and batch renaming and batch conversion functions. A particularly powerful feature of the program is its support for user scripting, allowing users to extend the functions of the program in useful ways.

IMatch is targeted at professional and serious amateur photographers because of its organizing functions [ [http://www.majid.info/mylos/stories/2002/06/29/imageCategoryManagementWithImatch.html Image category management with IMatch] , Fazal Majid.] and its noted capability for managing large collections (up to hundreds of thousands of images).
