[QUOTE="tjohnson, post: 1183081, member: 191843"] [b]um...please help[/b] i am reading all of this about iphoto, but iphoto drives me crazy. one of the posts said you should be able to do anything you need to within the app. i have found lots of deficiencies with the app, or i am hopeful that the deficiency are just with my understanding and someone can tell me what to do here. i am a graphic designer and long used to PC, where i used free google software called picassa to organize my images. picassa was an awesome tool, an interface with the actual original files, which it allowed you to locate and manipulate easily. the most important part is that it allowed you drag your "images" into InDesign, in a format that created links, just as if you were dragging it right out of it's original location. links are imperative in complex design work. iphoto will not create links, it just drops full size images into the middle of your document. The only other way around this is "place" images, but without knowing their original path, you can't place. i cannot understand why designers prefer mac over pc! they do make a version of picassa for mac, but it has a drag and drop glitch that everyone is complaining about in forums like this, so it won't work. does anyone know a way around this? also, if you buy a mac, and then transfer all of your photos at once, and forever upload your photos via iphoto, i can see it doing a good job of organizing, but i am combining photos from years, and some of them are duplicates, others i want to throw away, i need to be able to get into all the sub folders and organize. i still do not understand how to do this. going on the path:Users/Me/Pictures/iphotoLibrary/BestPICS when i get to iphoto library, it opens iphoto. so where are the source files?
