“Are there any good photo organizers for OSX (iPhoto does not qualify). Picasa would be ok, but for some reason they don't make a mac version.”

Friday at 4:50 pm - Link

Here's what I need: Fast, works on existing directories (no iPhoto style import), easy to delete photos I don't want, simple color correction + cropping, and very fast. Very nice to have would be the ability to upload to Smugmug or Google, basic video stuff (time crop), video re-encoding (my camera saves videos as mjpeg for some reason). - Paul Buchheit

Aperture is the primary professional, and most excellent application for OSX. It is worth the money, it is not iPhoto. It is easy to use, and you are likely to not want to use anything else. - Steve Pribut

I don't need anything fancy, just fast and able to handle a good number of photos. Picasa is pretty close -- I wish they would just make a Mac version (and improve the color correction and video abilities). - Paul Buchheit

I only know of, aperture, lightroom, photon & the apps that comes with phanfare.com, flickr & smugmug - Zee from WeDoCreative

Aperture is really cool because you can make batch changes to a set of photos, make branches, and undo across restarts, among other things. It requires importing though, which sounds like you wouldn't want. - Chris White

Closest to meeting all of your requirements used to be iView. Not sure if that's still true. I bailed on it after Microsoft bought it and renamed it Expression Media. http://www.microsoft.com/expre.... I use Aperture now. - Jack Baty

Files can remain in the directory in which they reside. They do not have to be imported into the library, although that makes it easier for backup. A free trial might is available at: http://www.apple.com/aperture/... . It more than adequately meets your criteria for photos, but does not deal with video, which it will back up to your chosen directory. You can readily move them, put them on an external HD, etc. Lightroom is an alternative. - Steve Pribut

I switch to my Windows machine and use Picasa for photos. - Amit Patel

I haven't used it but ShoeBox got a good MacWorld rating: http://www.kavasoft.com/Shoebo... - Billy Shipp

The problem with a lot of these photo organizers is that they want to own your world, but that's not what I want. I'm going to upload the photos to one or two places, copy them to other computers, etc. Having them stuck in some weird system on one computer is not ok. That's why working with the actual filesystem directory structure is important. - Paul Buchheit

Why not just use the Leopard file system + Preview? Is it because of speed? Preview supports cropping and color correction. The new finder features, like coverflow and pressing the spacebar for a preview are handy too. I put the Picasa Uploader in my dock so I can easily upload photos, although I wish Picasa would accept images dragged onto the dock icon. - Chris White

how about using expandrive and hosting all your photos on on a separate server and then using one of the many photo editors to edit them on your desktop? - Zee from WeDoCreative

or might be a little too slow - depends - Zee from WeDoCreative

I'll be interested to know what you settle on. - Bruce Lewis

Chris, I don't have Leopard -- can you delete from inside of Preview? - Paul Buchheit

I don't think you can delete from the app called Preview, but I only use that for cropping and color correction. Coverflow, which lets you flip through your images does let you delete via Command-Delete. The default app for images is Preview, so if you want to crop / color correct, just double-click. Leopard is suppose to be faster for image display in the Finder, although I haven't seen any speed comparisons. - Chris White

Chris, do all these programs retain metadata for edited photos? Most important, the EXIF date the photos were taken? - Bruce Lewis

Bruce, I'm pretty sure both Aperture and Preview maintain EXIF data, although I haven't tested that. - Chris White

I love Lightroom. - Jason Wehmhoener

man, it sounds like we're looking for the same thing. iPhoto sucks. - Brett Kelly

iView is what professional photojournalists use. I would have a look at that if I were you. I'm pretty sure MS is still keeping the Mac version of it. - Gabe Schaffer

Still using iView for now. It sounds like the newer Expression Media has had less than positive reviews. I have over 30,000 pictures in various catalogs and it works nicely. It did take a while to figure out a workflow that works for me but I had somewhat of an advantage since I had to design filesystem layouts previously. Extensis is an another option. If you care about IPTC or GPS EXIF, some hackery will be required as the different tools have different levels of support. - Jauder Ho

i like both aperture and lightroom. lightroom gives me better-looking photos though aperture is a little easier to use. at least i find that to be the case - Cee Bee

@Paul could you please share your requirements with us? Blindly suggesting an app without knowing your exact needs is pretty pointless. I use Adobe Bridge for workflow automation, meta management and multi client asset organization but I bet it won't be a good match for you. So please share your functional requirements. - Berk D. Demir via twhirl

I use Lightroom, and that's what I'd recommend. If you don't want to spend any money, you might want to check out blueMarine (http://bluemarine.tidalwave.it...). I've only played around with it for a few minutes, but I see it has potential, and it seems like it'd be just fine for the items you mentioned. - Donato

@Donato Cool.. I haven't seen this before.. :) @Paul I was looking for something like this in the past. What I wanted was a photo browsing application with Tagging and the ability to browse what you already have. I've ended up settling for Lightroom, but it's still sort of an overkill and it's RAW features are not useful for an amateur photographer like me. I'm really interested in what you find out from these comments heheh. - Chris Chua

Maybe I need to write my own. Does AIR have the necessary capabilities for this kind of thing? - Paul Buchheit

Sure, you could write it in AIR, but I haven't heard anything yet that convinces me you can't just use the leopard finder for what you want. - Chris White

Adobe Bridge - Bjorn Tipling

chris - i agree. Leopard finder and photoshop are the best solution until Google brings Picasa to Mac - Jared Radosevich

Chris, does the leopard finder show the photo full size, or do I have to open a separate program for that? Also, I don't have leopard. - Paul Buchheit

Also using Adobe Bridge. Love it. - cartoongoddess

@Chris, you can Delete from Preview. @Paul: you can't show the photo full size in finder, you'd need to open with a separate program. - David Vasileff

I use Xee, http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/xee... it aspires to be what Paul is looking for I think, but it doesn't do color correction, but you can hotkey to an editor of your choice, including Preview, which does color correction. Xee is free and there's source code available, too. - David Vasileff

we might see a mac version of picasa this year. Adobe elements is a $100 alternative to iPhoto. I have used it. Works good but a very heavy tool. - pankaj

David, how do you delete in Preview? Do you need more than one document open? - Chris White

I mentioned blueMarine the other day, but just found http://www.photonator.com/ a few minutes ago - then remembered your query and posted 'er back here. You're not subscribed to me, but that doesn't mean that I can't help. ;) - l0ckergn0me

Memory Miner http://www.memoryminer.com/ - Stephen Terlizzi

Chris, Preview Edit menu has move selected image to trash menu item or command-delete shortcut. it deletes and closes the window if you have a single image open. - David Vasileff

Picasa is the only reason I still turn my PC on... Are they going to make a Mac version any time soon? Otherwise it's time to write one. - Eugene

Hey! You told me you won't code it tonight! :) Did the delete methods work? - directeur via NoiseRiver

Ben rocks. Now why isn't he working for FriendFeed and having his room and board paid for, with moving expenses? - Louis Gray

Awesome! - Bwana McCall

Nice. - Ben Parr via fftogo

Got an error! Nooo! "The FriendFeed API retuend a 403 (Forbidden) for that request. It is possible that FF To Go is being rate limited" - Bwana McCall

Yup; I'm getting a 403 now...which means it's being rate limited. - Benjamin Golub

I got this working for NoiseRiver as of yesterday :) I tell you folks: entries deletion and undeletion are coming too... they just aren't as stable as me and Ben want them to be :( - directeur via NoiseRiver

Ben, It works fine for me! These methods use authentication --you know that - directeur via NoiseRiver

It's possible that the FriendFeed team might not have meant for us to start using these API calls...if so I'm sorry FF. - Benjamin Golub

I'm sad if it's the case. I was playing with them since yesterday and even deletion worked and then it stopped... - directeur via NoiseRiver

Yes, you're right... it's now throwing 403 errors on NoiseRiver too :( - directeur via NoiseRiver

What is fftogo? The site doesn't have an about page. - Bjorn Tipling

@Bjom Mobile version of FriendFeed - James O'Malley via twhirl

Hide disabled until it becomes more stable/official; I'll enable it again later, promise! - Benjamin Golub

I'm sorry Ben, it worked for me since yesterday this is why I told you it was stable... - directeur via NoiseRiver

Doesn't friendfeed have a mobile version? They definitely have an iphone version. - Bjorn Tipling

No mobile version other than the iPhone version. - Benjamin Golub

perhaps it would be useful in the meantime to implement an individual entry hide implementation separate from the official FF hide? should be trivial because NoiseRiver is already filtering/hiding by keyword and fftogo should be easy to add a filter for entry ids per user. also would be easy to filter services and users/services, too. the foaf stuff gets a bit complicated, though. when (if?) the hide APIs are added officially, it should be easy to sync/transfer the hidden entries back to FF. - David Vasileff

David: You're actually right. Implementing "my" own version of hide should be easy and very doable for NoiseRiver. But I think that it would be in vain for two reasons: 1) I discovered almost by coincidence that "(un)hide" and "(un)delete" features are coming to the API and I integrated them to NoiseRiver and told Ben and Patrick (the guy behind MioNiews) about them. Alas it's as we may see very soon to be used. We're waiting for the official release so we can really use them. 2) Implementing our hiding won't be better than the FriendFeed Api's one because filtering from the source is always better than filtering before the display. - directeur via NoiseRiver

directeur, I agree with your point. I don't know if users are craving hide but if they were and APIs weren't going to be available for a while and it was a barrier to user adoption, it's something to consider. in any case, I think there is merit in having ability to hide separate from FF, perhaps more with fftogo, where mobile users might want to hide rich media posts or hide entries with lots of comments on mobile but still have them display on friendfeed.com - David Vasileff

damn couldn't even try it, well maybe next time - Dobromir Hadzhiev

Yay new office! Hopefully you aren't moving like the last two startups I worked for.. as fast as possible in the middle of the night, etc., etc. - J. Phil

Well, then... you're not my real friend. Real friends would ask other friends to help move. Not that I'm complaining about not being asked or anything... just sayin', that's all. - l0ckergn0me

@Alex - That was probably the problem. ;) (Usually: Massive = Expensive) - sebmos

Alex: massive, and unfortunately temporary. It was massive because we got an incredible deal b/c they wanted someone to fill the space for 10 months, so they gave us a very good rate on the space. Our new space is more permanent (2 year lease). @sebmos: not expensive at all, thankfully :) - Bret Taylor

yay for friendfeed! - Alemsah

Moving from a big office to a small office means one thing: FriendFeed is downsizing. - Amit Patel

I thought the logo was to suggest that by posting items in your feed, you're sending presents to your friends. It was cute! You should bring it back! - Alex Mendes da Costa

You must be all moved in, the Logo's gone. I miss it, kind of liked it. Not that you need to start the Google-like logo of the day, but you might change it around once in awhile. - Victor Ryden
