Pictures, Pictures, and More Pictures

The past couple of days we've been trying to organize our digital photo collection -- no small task. We contemplated buying more software to handle the task of organizing and classifying our photographs. Another issues of concern is software forward compatibility and not losing all the meta data in a future program change.

We finally decided to use Apple's iPhoto already installed on our Mac. It is a fabulous program. It takes a new mindset to use it if you're used to Windows file systems. However, once you get going the features of categorizing, searching, and sorting are great. I'd highly recommend it. As for the issue of forward compatibility -- Apple's going to be around for a long time.
