Photo Organisation On Macs

Or should that be “Photo Organization On Macs”? ;)

For years I’ve been organising my photos on Windows in a folder structure and archiving onto DVD, viewing the photos with a simple tool like ACDSee Classic (which allows lossless rotation). It works well for keeping photos safe, but not for browsing and searching. As I result, I tend to take a lot of photos, store them nicely away, but I don’t spend so much time viewing them - since it’s a pain to navigate between folders.

Now that I’m moving to Mac OS X, I want to try to find a way to make my photo viewing as pleasurable as my MP3 listening. iTunes changed the way I organise and browse my MP3s, making it easier to mark favourites, find the songs I’m looking for, etc - I’m looking for something that will give me the same “revolution” when it comes to organising my photos.

With 100GB of past photos only made sense of by the folders they are in, however, that’s not an easy task. It starts here: part 1 of my adventure trying photo organisation software on the Mac.
