I'm currently winding down my data collection and at the conclusion I will have roughly 2100 images and 300 .txt surveys to analyze. Currently I have folders with each participant's 7 images (drawings) along with their survey.txt file. I'm looking at NVivo and MAXQDA at the moment and trying to figure them out. I'm curious to know what software others have used with this type of data and what their experience was with organizing and tagging the data? Any info on making my thesis project go faster and more efficiently would be appreciated!
To answer my own question I've decided on Dedoose; it has the most straight forward tutorials and resources as well as phone support. I've not yet started using it but it's only $10.95/month for students and you only pay for the months you use plus it's accessible online so you can work from anywhere.

Interesting question. I was thinking of trying atlas.ti for a project using content analysis as a method.
As it turned out I had to ditch Dedoose, despite claiming they handled images on their site I was informed by their support that they actually didn't. Atlas.ti doesn't appear to handle images natively either.
I went with NVivo which I continue to struggle with.
After testing NVivo I'm pretty confident that its way of handling images will suit me fine.
