I’m still looking for a solution for organizing 30,000+ photos conveniently. And having them backed up.
Warren uses ACDsee to VIEW his images. But they do not make a Mac version.
I just tried putting 20,000 photos into one iPhoto library. It’s slow. Weird things are happening. It’s crashing when I try to import some file types.
I’m just about to give up.
Suggestions?
Don’t worry about giving iPhoto 6 too many images to handle. It’s just not going to happen.
With support for up to 250,000 photos, iPhoto 6 will elate even the most prolific shutterbugs. To capture that many photos, you’d have to shoot 1,000 a month for 20 years.
I’m looking at Portfolio. And iView Media Pro.

Is Picasa available on the Mac? I use it on my laptop and at work where I don’t have an ACDSee licence. Pretty good. I was and still am floored by how much disc space it had hogged when I wasn’t looking: 2 Gig on my desktop at work. That is why it searches and displays so fast. Otherwise, pretty darn nice!
One would think not.
This seems to be a current live page:
“Picasa isn’t currently available for Mac OS. Right now we’re putting all of our energy into making Picasa the best program we can. We realize that a lot of digital photographers would like us to offer a Mac version, and we may consider this option in the future.”

But turns out there is some sort of a BETA Mac version with free 250Mb. And $25 / year for 6.25Gb.

Will give it a try.
