I use Picasa for my photo management needs, and have it call up Gimp if I need to go very flashy. It's handling thousands and thousands of pictures very easily--categorisation is a flash with the facial recognition.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Picasa on Mac, ita? My searches of the interwebs using phrases like "replacement for iPhoto '11" keep turning up Picasa. I might give it a shot.

Yep, Steph. It's pretty sweet.

ita, doesn't Picasa install some additional software that people didn't like?

I haven't noticed any additional software on my Mac. What sort of stuff?

I don't recall. I thought I had read about this a couple of years ago, but if you haven't noticed anything, this issue might be moot.

I am very annoyed with Picasa right now. I downloaded the new version onto my Macbook, and for some reason I cannot log into my Google account with it. It keeps rejecting the password.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Argh. My little Iomega portable hard drive stopped working - I plug it into the USB and it's "I'm on" light comes on and it sounds like it's spinning, but it doesn't mount and the light goes out again after about a minute. Disk Utility can't see it to run diagnostics. Tried another cable and another computer to plug into. I just tidied all my firewire cables away, but I'll dig one up tomorrow and try that on the Mini, but i don't have high hopes that that will do any good.
Any ideas?

What advantages do you get by logging into your Google account? Does it have web album space? I've never even considered that.
Man, if something this powerful were connected to flickr, I'd plotz.
