my g/f has my ibook g3 800mhz now and she loves pics, she wants a program that can resize and clear up redeye and iphoto is such a RAM monger(i just made that up).

She isnt the most computer literate so like zooming in on an area with a program like gimp doesn't seem feasable. Anybody?

I don't know if this would help at all. I used to use Picasa2 on my windows machine, but just use iPhoto now. Hope this helps.

If your willing to pay for a new program I say just save the money and get her some ram. The ram will boost the entire computers peroformance and allow her to use iphoto.
