[QUOTE="mac57, post: 668136, member: 17052"] I would suggest an alternate approach. What are the major functions of ThumbsPlus that you really love? Perhaps you could post them here and we could help you find the Mac application that comes the closest to them? I too used to be a ThumbsPlus user on PC, but don't feel the need of it anymore on my Mac. The best thing to do when you switch is REALLY switch. Throw off those Windows dependencies quite consciously and force yourself to do everything "the Mac way" for at least a month or so, until you overcome the "newness factor". Then you can make experienced choices as to whether you REALLY need any Windows apps. After doing this myself when I switched, I ultimately found that the only Windows thing I really needed was ActiveX controls for web pages, and only because I frequent an investing web site that uses them. So, I keep a Windows box around for that purpose and that purpose only. Everything else I now do very nicely using native Mac apps. I bet you can too. [/QUOTE]
