![]() Shame on the author for being so uninformed on a topic about which she is purporting to provide advice. (Reading the first two items on the list and the first sentence of the third was sufficient for the purposes of steering my mother-in-law away from this article.) This list is best ignored. ![]() I''ll stop there, because that''s where I stopped reading the article. Lightroom is a photo organizer with basic editing capabilities, while Photoshop is a powerful photo editor that can''t be used to organize photos. "Adobe Lightroom for Mac is the Photoshop version of Mac." That''s incorrect Lightroom and Photoshop are two different applications with two different primary functions. Aperture was no longer available for purchase about a year before this article was published, with Apple announcing plans to stop supporting Aperture in favor of its Photos app long before that.ģ. Google started phasing Picasa out at least six months before this article was published. (Maybe ask your son-in-law if you have one?)ġ. Basically, my message is to pretend like this article doesn''t exist and find another resource. I've found Adobe Bridge to be too bulky in its feature set and it loading time seems to take awhile (although I'm only using a late model Powerbook with 1.5gigs of RAM).I write this comment in the hope that it may help others avoid wasting time (as my mother-in-law did) relying on this article, and not with the specific aim of criticizing the author for publishing an ill-informed, sloppily researched article. Drag and drop a folder to the photogrid icon on the dock and you can get a quick view of all photos (including the ones in subdirectories) and then move/copy or edit them in Photoshop. If you're looking to just manage/view alot of photos (without much editing), a great program to try is PhotoGrid. It would probably rival Photoshop as a retouching tool if they'd only allow users to custom configure the keyboard us the GUI needs to be revamped. It's an excellent value and even though a copy came with my computer, I decided to support the developer by purchasing it separately. I've found that a great program for batch editing is Graphic Converter X. It's development is almost completely driven by user feedback. What is really promising is Adobe Lightroom (currently in beta). Aperture is really nice, but it's still needs a bit of work in terms of performance and features.mainly the web export feature and the fact that it doesn't seem to have very good image compression for saving web photos. Picasa searches for all the images in your HD and shows them on an eye-catching and intuitive interface. Can anyone recommend something from either this collection of software or elsewhere. I note Google dont provide a Linux uploader (its Mac and Windows only) and the Web uploader is a bit hit and miss for large albums. whose function is to allow the user view and organize the pictures in his/her Mac. I like how this hooks into my Google account and I already have paid storage. Picasa is really the only thing I miss about using PCs. 3.9.137.192 Older versions Advertisement Picasa is a program developed by Google, Inc. iphoto doesn't have native IPTC embedding like Picasa does (with the captions). iphoto doesn't have the cool inset picture when you zoom in on an image. I've had too many problems with the database in iphoto getting corrupted. I don't know.I've given iphoto (5/6) plenty of chances to make me forget about Picasa and it's not really happening. can anyone suggest a way of doing this or shall i just continue with boot camp install and have to boot into windows just to do my photos? or hopefully google will get picasa done for mac as there seems to be demand for it.įorgot to add my image library is currently standing at about 150,000 images, so i'm concerned about what i have read about iphoto and large quantities of images. now if theres is away to do this in iphoto i haven't figured it out yet, namely selecting the photos i want but retaining all of them, then exporting the selected and resizing at the same time to a folder of my choice. i then used the export option and resize to 800 x 600 for my web site and then upload using gallery remote. used pc for my photos as theres not much for sun gear so settled on picasa, my workflow is load raw pics from my 20d divide into respective folder, then i go through and edit on the fly tweaking shadows colour temp etc and selecting the ones i want by using the star tool. I'm a long time unix user (background is solaris, running on sparc) and have just bought a 17" mac book pro after my laptop was stolen.
