Can somebody tell me how best to deal with photos on an iMac! I am in the process of making a photo book and some of the pictures I need to use are on an external drive and they seem to be read only. When I open one (system automatically seems to use 'Preview') because I want to crop it let's say, I don't get the normal tools to do so, even after making a duplicate to allow me to make changes in the first place.
I do NOT like the feel of iPhoto as I seem to have no control over how to organize my photos - they are all over the place now. I prefer a folder structure that I control - should be so simple - but how do I do this? How to get around iphoto - is there a better solution? I so regret having opted for a Mac instead of a reliable PC that I know inside out.
I hope there is someone out there who can perhaps give me some tips. Thank you!
