[cyberprop]

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. 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 then used the export option and resize to 800 x 600 for my web site and then upload using gallery remote. 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. 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.

forgot 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.

thanks in advance
