What is everyone's favorite photo organizer? I have a gazillion
photos on iPhoto, and when I save groups of them to CD for others to
view who do not have Macs, the photos are divided into folders based
on year, then month, then date. I asked this earlier in the summer
but my question was bundled with another question.
Thanks,

Claire--I remember some of the previous discussion. At that time I was
also trying to decide what to do. I had over 5000 in iPhoto and many
more to come as I scan old slides and negatives. I looked at 2
options-- iView Media Pro and extensis Portfolio--both in the $200
range. I downloaded the demo of iVMPro and worked on it and based on
that experience and some reviews which seemed to indicate that Port was
more user friendly.--I bought Portfolio 7.
Now I am in the process of trying to catalog my files and it is a
struggle (anybody on the list who uses it and is willing to help a
newbie --let me know off list). I have found Extensis support to be
almost non existent and when I query their "knowledge base" I get a
listing of every article in it. I have not found a user's forum so at
this point no help seems to be available.
I have considered selling my copy on eBay and absorbing the loss, but
now have decided to keep working at it. Needless to say, I would not
recommend Portfolio. And advice to others is to start now with
something--don't wait until you have thousands of images.
