People who use only iPhoto from the beggining probably don't understand this. They think that it is like it should be. If you look at the list of functions, mayby iPhoto has more (this is what I thought). But to do something with iPhoto I need 10 times more time. I can't accept that after holiday I will spend 10 days putting them inside iPhoto (with picasa it takes 10 minutes).
My only hope is that google will make iPhoto for mac. |
I completely agree with the above. I have some 14000 foto's, wich Picasa handle's with ease on my pentium M 1g notebook. On my Mac Mini with 1.25g (OSX 10.4) you cannot manage that amount of pictures. Even with iPhoto 6 it takes ages. Not to mention that iPhoto creates its own directory structure, wich completly ruins my own carefully built up structure. Because that is how I organise my picture's. Picasa leaves that all in tact. And since Google has introduced Picasaweb one can publish its own photo's on the web for FREE. It works like very, very easy!.
Don't get me wrong, i like the Mac but i don't like iPhoto. I think Apple (or Google) has to come up with something way faster and that leave's my directory structure intact. (because thats how I organise my picture's)
Strange because iTunes works the same on Pc and Mac. Same speed and ease of use. And (if you wich) leaves your directory structure intact.
