How these alternatives were chosen
Tools Bridge names as alternatives that this directory also publishes, followed by others in CMS. The order is not a ranking, and "—" means we have not checked that field — not that the answer is no.
Bridge also lists Capture One, Phase One Media Pro, Extensis Portfolio, Canto as alternatives. Those are not in this directory yet, so there is nothing to compare — and nothing to link to.
