Photos for a Mac.

I switched to Apple about 3 months ago for of course all the advantages. But the only thing I seem to not like about my Macbook Pro is the organization of photos and such. I use iPhoto now and really don't like it. I like simple and organized. iPhoto sorts my photos by events, faces, places...therefore I'm ending up having photos everywhere. It was very troublesome when I was switching photos from my PC to Mac. It was very easy on my PC to have folders of whatever photos I wanted in it.

So, just trying to see what you guys use to organization your photos on your Macs?

I see there are some photo apps but haven't researched into those yet...but will. All my photos are backed up of course too. Thanks guys!

 

I don't use iPhoto, I just store them in the photo folder in Finder

 

You can click, drag and move pics anywhere you want on a mac. Simple.

 

I use folders, and not iPhoto. Editing is done on Photoshop LE.

 

hey man i have had my 13” Macbook pro over a year. and you are not the only one that does not like how it stores them! i do too but i just deal with it. i did make volders in iphoto so like all my truck pic are in one place all my dirt bike and riding/ 4wheeling pic are in one place.

 

Thats what I'm planning on doing now, using just folders. I use CS5 for all my editing too. Plain and simple. I do like the view on iPhoto tho.

 

Yeah, no iPhoto. Folders and Photoshop.

 

^^ This. I don't like iphoto at all. I just use a basic folder system within the "Photos" folder and then do any editing with Photoshop.

 

Moving all my pictures as we speak!! Thank you everybody!

 

Cool! Good luck! Macs are great for creative work. Hope you enjoy yours!

 

Most of my photos are on a external as well and use CS5 for editing to. I'll look into lightroom, thanks! iPhoto sucks!

 

Adobe Bridge CS5, I only use iPhoto to import photos.

I view in Bridge, edit in Photoshop
