I could see some people using that program instead, based on one's needs and tastes. I just use both.

However, I had been keeping my fotos in nested folders previously and just went back to that, including moving the ones iPhoto had mismanaged. No program as such, just labeled folders nested within other labeled folders. -- Erilar, biblioholic medievalist http://www.chibardun.net/~erilarlo

I plug in my camera, open its memory on the computer, highlight new additions, drag them to the folder I want them in. From there I can do as I please, including opening them in a graphics program that will let me do many times as many things as that grade-school iPhoto "edit" program. And I'm talking about something a lot cheaper than PhotoShop. -- Erilar, biblioholic medievalist http://www.chibardun.net/~erilarlo

It won't do a lot of things GC will. And ColorIt does even more. -- Erilar, biblioholic medievalist http://www.chibardun.net/~erilarlo |
