Repeat after me – Macs Replace Folders, PCs Merge Folders. Macs Replace Folders, PCs Merge Folders. Macs Replace Folders, PCs Merge Folders. Macs Replace Folders, PCs Merge Folders. Macs Replace Folders, PCs Merge Folders.

I wonder how many more of these gotcha’s are hiding in my new machine?

But, The Time Machine thingie worked as advertised. So, only one photo got lost. And it was no loss.

I still haven’t decided how to catalog, cull, process, organize, etc etc images on The Airness. A whole bunch of images are cataloged using Photoshop Elements over on the XP part of the Dell Box.

I really liked my 30 day trial of Lightroom last summer. I would spring for my very own copy. $299. But, I am in lust with an as yet unavailable camera. It is supposed to ship with a copy of Lightroom. I could use getting a copy of Lightroom to help justify the cost of the camera.

Photoshop Elements for PC used to have vastly superior cataloging abilities over the Mac version. But, I haven’t checked out the current release. PSE is a fine enough program – but it is long on cute scrapbooky features. And, it has a distressing habit of needing frequent expensive upgrades.

I really really miss Irfanview. That would be the great freeware swiss army knife PC image viewer/editor/tweaker. It doesn’t work gracefully with WINE. Someone should take up a collection and pay Irfan Skiljan to port Irfranview to the Linux/Mac world.

I have poked around with iPhoto which comes with The Airness. I didn’t feel the love. At least not yet. Maybe it will grow on me being “free”.

And, I just installed Picasa. The Linux version was some sort of strange package that come with a special version of WINE and the Windows version of Picasa. I think that the Mac version is “pure”. Don’t know. Just guessing.
