[QUOTE="MacNewbie, post: 309854, member: 23576"] i really hate the iphoto program is there anyway i can revert back to something that is similar to the "my pictures" folder on Windows XP? :closed: someone had advised me that i could also make a "folder" on my desktop and put all my pics in there if i'd like however the thing is when i do that it doesnt give me a thumbnail preview of the picture like "my pictures" does also when i click on the picture in the folder i cant view the next picture in the sequence as i can in "my pictures" here is what i hate about IPHOTO (tho i know iphoto is supposedly far superior than my pictures as my pictures is just a "preview folder" and iphoto is an actual program, i still think iphoto's design is crap) annoyances i have: [B] 1.) each time i want to save a picture, i have to drag it to iphotos library i then have to drag it from iphotos library into a specialized folder that i have created for it. i.e. "cars>>mercedes" or whatnot. on "my pictures" all i have to do is save in the folder that ive specified, thats it, done voila, case closed. i have to do like 5 extra steps in iphoto to get a photo where i want it whereas in windows xp i can do it in 1. 2.) say i want to make some adjustments to one of my pictures in a subfolder on iphoto...all the adjustments i make to that photo affect ALL other copies of that photo in the iphoto program. i have to then make sure i have TWO copies of the same photos in the library before i make any adjustments to its relative picture in the subfolder SOOO much extra work!! 3.) say i want to upload a picture to [url]www.photobucket.com[/url], normally on "my pictures" on windows xp i click on the "choose file" button on photobucket then i look at what folder i want, click click and upload everything is done. on iphoto. i have to drag the pic from iphoto onto the "choose file" screen it then will say "roll 1 , roll 2" (which i have no idea what that means i didnt even name the pictures roll 1 or roll 2? ***?) and then i have to drag the pic AGAIN for it to go into the little window for me to upload does this make sense what im typing? :( i hope so... basicaly again i have to drag the photo twice in order for it to show up on the uploadbox. [/B] am i just doing things wrong or is iphoto truely a wack program?? [/QUOTE]
