[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1012698"] I appreciate the mention of our beta, dtravis. It's not as far along as the Windows version. If the OP really does go back to Windows, I hope he'll look at the Win version of ACDSee. If he sticks with Mac, both of the alternatives you mentioned (ACDSee and Picasa) are options. Personally I think the big problem is that the OP just didn't learn the "mindset" of iPhoto (which is much the same "mindset" as iTunes, Address Book, Safari and many other Apple and third-party programs). iPhoto's a great program that can do a lot of things beyond "face recognition and slideshows," but only if you want to open your mind a little. It's very "managed" and some people don't like that, but for MOST people its a good thing. I find it very powerful and cool myself. I hope the OP will instead head to his local bookstore and sit down with an iLife manual and spend an hour reading up on how iPhoto works -- he may change his mind, or he may find out that its definitely not for him. Either way he'll be better off and happier, and that's ultimately what we want for him. [/QUOTE]
