Mac Question - Image Viewers.

[Catalyst]

Ok.. I am looking for a program like acdsee or compupic for the mac.


Normally a model comes over.. I shoot 3 to 5 sets of her.. and Have it in a folder with subfolder.

- black and white pics
--- raw
--- jpgs
- blue lace teddy
--- raw
--- jpgs
- camel toe shorts
--- raw
--- jpgs

I have tryed, iphoto, aperture, and a few others. The main problem with a lot of those is they are gallery based not folder based. Like I can have sub-galleries ( i don't think anyways)

the program that comes closes is

bridge, but I hate bridge because when I double click on an image it opens it in photoshop instead of previewing it.

Also graphic converter is kinda of close also..

any suggestions?

Please??

Yea.. I downloaded like twenty of them yesterday from version tracker.. but I didn't want to sit around all day and test each one of them..

I will try coco and maybe a few others.

In the finder right click an image choose show info - open with - pick any program you want to open it with

Yea.. but maybe you are not understanding what I am saying..


Ok.. the finder doesn't work because the icons are too small.. even if I got to preference and make them larger.. you really can't see any detail.



or if I use quickview.. and select a lot of pics.. then look at them in thumbnail mode.. I can't delete them ( which really sucks because I love doing it that way)

Well in coverflow.. or whatever it is called.. it only shows one pic at a time.. So I can see if the next pic or the pic before it is better or worst..





bridge.. like I said.. is almost perfect.. I can seen pics in front and behind. .I can delete and stuff like that.. however.. I just can't tell bridge to open only with preview.... So I am always opening an image in photoshop just to see if there is hair in her face.. or so something else wrong..







Thanks for the help so far..

I got an image for you look behind you lol!

[DomP_nl]

you've try'd that with the finder too ?

[DomP_nl]

lol nevermind, coverflow doesnt work for you :p

[Catalyst]

I got it..

ok..

from the finder..


if I have a directory of images.

I would select all..

then click on the (quick look) the little eye ball..

then click on thumbnail view.. and it would give my a semi-transpant screen.. with a lot of my thumbs.. ( i couldn't delete anything there.)

and I thought that was the same as preview..


HOWEVER.. it is not..

if I go to the same folder, select all.. then open with Preview..

I get this


it is not the greatest.. but it works..

is what i should have said ;)

I'm sure there are even better ways build in with osx. iPhoto isn't my fav too but it has a gazillion options for stuff like this.. Otherwise you could check out Fotostation

A good one that might work for you is Iview Multimedia now called Microsoft Expression as they sold out to MS. A trial version is available.
You'll need to use Safari to watch th demos.

Yea.. i guess they made an ACDSEE for mac in like verison one..

but yea.. so much of my basic work flow is ACDSEE..


I use to pre-sort and pre-scrub.. my raw images.( before I convert them to jpg)
I use it to rename stuff. ( pics and folders)
I use it to do a lot of basic stuff.. that photoshop and bridge can do but take too long to do.
