From: Ant on 17 Dec 2009 02:29 Hello! One of my clients does not like Apple Mac OS X 10.5.7's iPhoto which is limited and confusing to him. He doesn't like how albums, layouts, etc. work. We would like to know if there are better softwares (freeware if possible) to handle digital pictures/photographs on a MacBook Pro. Thank you in advance. :) -- "Now I have you where I want you... where is my jar of Bull ants?" --unknown /\___/\ / /\ /\ \ Phil./Ant @ http://antfarm.ma.cx (Personal Web Site) | |o o| | Ant's Quality Foraged Links: http://aqfl.net \ _ / Nuke ANT from e-mail address: philpi(a)earthlink.netANT ( ) or ANTant(a)zimage.com Ant is currently not listening to any songs on his home computer.

It does what it does really well. There's a stripped down version of Photoshop called Photoshop Elements. Not sure what it costs but I think it's around $100. -- "If you can, tell me something happy." - Marybones

For free, Google Picasa is probably your only realistic option. <http://picasa.google.com/mac/> However, without knowing how many photos your client has, what he wants to do with them, what he doesn't like about iPhoto, and how he'd prefer things to work, it's hard to recommend any alternatives, free or otherwise. (It's also worth noting that iPhoto is deliberatly somewhat 'limited' because it has a big brother in the Apple stable, Aperture, that's aimed more at the professional market.)

People used to recommend iView Media as an iPhoto alternative but I hadn't heard anyone mention it recently and it turns out it was aquired by Microsoft back in 2006. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IView_Media Personally I couldn't see what was wrong with iPhoto that would make you want to look elsewhere, but I guess expectations vary:-) Ian -- Ian Gregory http://www.zenatode.org.uk/ian/

He does basic stuff like importing/copying photographs/photos. from his digital cameras, keep them in his HDDs, view them, share/upload via e-mails and in person, organize, crop/resize, etc. Just basic stuff. -- "To the ant, a few drops of dew is a flood." --Iranian /\___/\ / /\ /\ \ Phil./Ant @ http://antfarm.ma.cx (Personal Web Site) | |o o| | Ant's Quality Foraged Links: http://aqfl.net \ _ / Nuke ANT from e-mail address: philpi(a)earthlink.netANT ( ) or ANTant(a)zimage.com Ant is currently not listening to any songs on his home computer. |
