IPhoto is the lamest photo editing program ever!

Is it just me or is iPhoto the lamest photo editing program ever? I had photoshop elements on my windows machine and was happy my new MAC came with iphoto & iMovie. Now that I have tried to use it I find it doesn't do much in the editing department. Infact Picasa has more editing features.

So instead of helping me out you insult my intelligence? You are pretty brave over the internet. So why does Apple advertise their computers coming with all the software you need.
iPhot: iPhoto gives you everything you need to do everything you want with your photos. Keep them organized and easy to find in lots of different ways. Use powerful yet simple editing tools to perfect each shot.
iPhoto isn't even a "good" photo organizer. Picasa is better at organizing & editing and is free. So don't blame the price.
So I guess if I were as smart as you guys, I would ASSume that iMovie doesn't really edit movies either, just organizes them right? This was the only thing I hated about moving to MAC. Apple Fan boys are very annoying.

Are there any photo editing programs similar to the ipad

Are there any photo editing programs similar to the ipad?

Never used an ipad. Why not try the iPhoto forum area?

How do you save your photos in iPhoto and be able to find the photos when you are in different programs. When i try to find them I can only find the iPhotos not the individual photos.

Use the media browser. In every open/attach window in tithe lower left hand corner under media ==> photos ==> iPhoto

I am an amatuer family photographer; What is the best photo editing software. I do not think I need the power and confusion of full version photoshop.

I take it you are looking for replacements for the apps you used on a previous Mac?
I do not have Photoshop Elements, so I do not know about compatibility. But this site will tell you:
http://roaringapps.com
Photoshop CS3 does run in OS 10.9.1. (I use it just about everyday.) You do not have to give it up.
And there is Gimp, which is free and powerful.

Photo editing programs?

At the moment i am using iphoto and I am searching for a new photo editing program that enables you to edit and change the photo but also keeps the original. Also with iphoto you can crop the image but it wont save, it will revert back to the original size, why is this and are there other photo editing programs for mac os x available?

After applying the Crop you must click on the Crop button before clicking on the Done button.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Photo editing program suggestions?

I need to add a photo editing program to my Macbook Pro. Is Photoshop Elements a good choice? I know it has video friendly presents to work in non-square pixels. The Windows version I've seen wants to catalog every bit of media on your computer, could this cause a problem with Final Cut Express every time you create a render file or something?
I've also heard about The Gimp, a free program that you download in pieces. Is it hard to configure? Probably no non-square pixels?
Any other suggestions?

Elements on the Mac is a very good editor for the price. It's different from the Windows app in that it's not a manager, just an editor. It can be used in conjunction with it's Bridge, iPhoto or Aperture as an editor for their organising capabilities.
Someone once described Elements as 85% of the power of Photoshop for 15% of the price.
What's missing? Some bells and whistles, sure, but principlally CYMK support - of no interest to video editors

Photo editing program

Am new MacBook Pro user looking for a god photo editing program - I used Paint Shop Pro on my former laptop and really liked it. Don't really want PhotoShop but not sure what would be the best one to use on my MBP.

Hi d,
IIRC, Photoshop Elements has a good trial period, and then if you like it and need to use it enough, it should be worth it to purchase.

How do I change the default external editing program in Lightroom 5?

I have Photoshop CS3 and CS5 Extended on my computer. CS3 is the default external editing program Lightroom 5 chose to use to open files during initial setup, which causes selections such as "Open as Smart Object or Merge to Panorama" to be grayed out. How can I change the default to CS5 Extended, short of removing the CS3 version on my system? Thanks for you help!

IMovie not seeing iPhoto in the Media Photos tab iMovie 6.0.3/iPhoto 6.0.5

Hello
I'm trying to use iPhoto through iMovie, but it doesn't see iPhoto under the Media>Photos tab. It says "open iPhoto 2 or later to see photos from your iPhoto library in this list."
I have iPhoto 6.0.5 and iMovie 6.0.3, and even when I open iPhoto it doesn't recognize. Restarting computer didn't help.
Please help,
Chris

Greetings,
I am having the same trouble with both iMovie and the new iTunes 7.
Here's a clue: We share our photos and songs and have relocated the photo library "Shared" and have set up an ACL. It has been working great, except iMovie seems to not understand it has moved. I can use iPhoto to create a new library in the user 'default' area, and iMovie sees it fine. But even if I switch libraries when starting iPhoto, iMovie can't find it, and there appears to be no way to browse for another iPhoto library.
iTunes 6 worked ok, but after downloading iTunes 7, I have the exact same problem.
Any ideas?

Anyone have any luck getting a photo editing program for 10.9.1 ? (other than iPHOTO / Aperature)

I was using Elements 11 with Mountain Lion and that was OK but the reviews for Elements 12 compatability with 10.9 are all pretty bad. The folks at Adobe claim that Elements 12 "can be installed" on 10.9.1 but they dont actually state that it "works". I'm just trying to avoid spending the big bucks for the full Photoshop program and Im not even sure that would work either. I have this great new iMAC and cant play around with it yet. Suggestions ?

I have used all of the following on Maversicks, with no issues at all:
iPhoto
Aperture
Acorn
Graphic Converter
Intensify Pro
Snapheal
I've not seen any reports indicating any issues with other apps either. I would strongly echo Larry's comments about App Store reviews, and reviews on download sites and forums up and down the internet. The great thing about the internet is that everyone has an opinion, that might also be the worst thing.
The problems with these comments are manifold: for a start, happy people are less likely to review, unhappy happy are much more inclined to. That's why we don't have thousands and thousands of posts on this forum from all the people who have no problems saying "look I have no problems". Unhappy people get cross and are more likely to express that anger in negative reviews.
Then what about the reviewer? What is his or her knowledge, experience and skill level? No doubt they are having problems, and real ones, but how do you know if their issues are problems with the app, their own inexperience, third party conflicts and so on. I've seen people on here claim the fact that iPhoto won't edit video is a bug. I've seen hundreds and hundreds of posts from folks on here who are certain they've found a bug, only for their glitch to be resolved. No review is worth anything unless you know something of the reviewer, his or her knowledge and experience.
So frankly, I never bother with those reviews on any such stores, not just iPhoto on the Mac App Store.

IPhoto 11 - Saving/Exporting Photos Edited in iPhoto 11

I just updated to iPhoto 11 from what I think was iPhoto 09. In my previous version of iPhoto, I would import photos from my camera, edit (crop, straighten, adjust, etc) and then I would FILE/Export photo in .jpg format to my hard drive for backup and upload to flickr.
When I follow this same procedure in in iPhoto 11, the edits that I make in iPhoto do not save to the exported photo. The application just exports the original file w/o edits.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a fix?
Thank you,
Charles

I am exporting as a JPG. I think I figured out the problem. In the old iPhoto I could export from the Edit menu. On this new version, I have click on the Photos button and go back to the screen that shows the whole event and export from there.
It's a pain and much less efficient but it seems to be working.

IPhoto is the lamest photo editing program ever!
