Try Kodak EasyShare, a possible iPhoto replacement
Authored by: kindall on May 13, '04 04:46:41PM

I switched to EasyShare some time ago. It works just as well as iPhoto for importing photos using a camera or card reader, too. Actually, it works better, because I don't have to tell it each time that yes, dammit, of course I want to delete the photos from the card afterward. Now if it would just unmount the card after it was done importing...

I like the image rotation button; you click the left half to rotate counterclockwise, or the right half to rotate clockwise. Simple. None of the option-click required by iPhoto.

The one thing I miss is the ability to double-click a photo and have it open in Photoshop (or some other editor). You can, however, drag photos to an icon in the dock. Since my dock is at the opposite edge of my second monitor from EasyShare, though, what I did instead was to create a DragThing dock with just one button on it (Photoshop), make the background of the dock transparent, set up that dock to only appear when EasyShare is frontmost, and position it in EasyShare's status bar. Then I just drag photos I want to edit to that button.

EasyShare integrates very nicely with Ofoto, as others have mentioned. One great thing about Ofoto is that you can set up a site for selling prints of your own photos for any desired price. Ofoto prints and ships the photo and gives you the difference between their usual selling price for a print of that size and your asking price. I don't think Apple offers this even with .Mac, which is dumb because Ofoto fulfills Apple's print orders.
