  1. Re:Out of all the iapps by PabloJones · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I agree with you, of all the Apple programs I've used, this one just did not sit right with me. Safari and iTunes are fine applications, and I have very few gripes with them. But iPhoto just frustrated me when I used it back when it came out.

    It was slow, and put the photos deep into a hierarchy, which made them a pain in the ass to find when I wanted to manipulate them in Photoshop. And since most of the photos I take are intended to be used for things other than just having around on my computer to be looked at occasionally, iPhoto is more of a hassle that it is a convenience. I just wish I had a better way of organizing my photos than I do now, somewhere in between the complex organization of the way iPhoto does it, and trying to manage them myself (wherein I usually end up with duplicates of photos because I usually don't delete the photos on the camera after I retrieve the photos from it that I need).

    Basically, iPhoto is good for people who like amassing large albums of photos of their dog, kids, etc. But it's needlessly time consuming and frustrating if you need to do any serious digital photo editing.

    The Apple discussion boards are talking that it's been pulled due to some issues.

    If you don't have an iTools login you can still view most everything in the Apple Discussion area.
