Alecia,
What you want is called "image cataloging" software. If I understand
you, you want central storage of a ton of images, a database which
contains information about each file (probably including a thumbnail
image) and a way of quickly locating and retrieving the files on the
server, yes?
There are many packages like this on the market. It's been a while
since I worked on Macs, but Kudo (http://www.kudo.com) has a program
that does exactly what you're describing... and I'm sure there are
others, too.
Hope this helps.
