I have 08, its a pretty big change from 05, and it threw me off. Granted, I never used a photo app on Windows, but than again, I never had to. Explorer worked fine as it was for simple photo browsing.
When I bought a mac and tried out iphoto, I was frustrated over and over. Trying to find tips online never really gave me the answers I needed. Should've asked before. One more question, I noticed that when I click on my .gifs, they dont automatically play. Instead, iPhoto (or Preview), separates the layers. Is there anyway to open them and have them automatically play? Or better yet, have the picture icons actually play the .gifs without opening them (like in windows)?
