Expression Media 2 has an open architecture, supports multiple file formats including RAW, and can be used either on Windows or Macintosh operating systems. According to Microsoft Expression Media 2 "gives photographers more control over images and greater flexibility. It also allows quick export of photos into multiple formats to produce slide shows, video, and interactive Microsoft Silverlight-powered web galleries." Expression Media 2 will be available for purchase in mid-May. Meanwhile, a trial version is available here. http://www.microsoft.com/expression/products/overview.aspx?key=media In support of its move, Microsoft quotes: Ron Glaz, analyst at IDC, saying: "Geotagging is a hot new area in digital photography, and like other popular digital photo features, I expect photographers will be asking themselves how they ever lived without it.

Microsoft's initiative of leading the way and making geotagging accessible to pros and enthusiasts alike is a step in the right direction."
