Taos is the first retail product from New Mexico Software. After 9 years of developing server
database applications, the release of Taos marks an important milestone in the history
of the company.
Taos is designed for professional digital photo software users, stock photo agencies,
news/photography editors, ad agencies, creative directors, photographers, and yes,
even the consumer digital photography enthusiast.
Open GL 1.4 enabled, Taos is an organizational tool very different from
products like iPhoto from Apple, Extensis, or Adobe Photoshop Album. This tool is not meant
to do photo editing, touchup, or any other digital photo special effects. Taos is a database engine using heavy duty 3D graphics effects in order to organize, print,
catalog, and archive digital photos. The emphasis on the look and feel of the product is
particularly noticeable. Taos is the first low cost database product that searches images
based on their color and shape. Other than gaming products, Taos is one of the first
applications that uses NVIDIA hardware to create a spectacular look and feel with multiple
special effects in the applications presentation.
