Photoshop Elements vs. Photoshop Album

[Ray]

But, with each new OS version comes a price in performance, usually. That's
true for every brand. So, my logic was that to stay on top of things, you
better buy the most you can buy for now, and have less concerns for the
future.

Oh yes, definitely, if it's important to you to always have the latest and greatest. But my old computer is running system 7.5.5, from 1996 and it works just fine. I'd still be running 7.5.5 if I hadn't needed a heavy-duty new printer last year. It kind of depends on how important technology is in your life, I think.

The thing is, technology changes so fast now that I'm not sure that anything you buy today is going to last that long if you like to keep upgrading.

Good morning Ray and Barbara, This rule really applies to me, I sure don't need a MonsterMac with all that horsepower, but the 'want factor' is my problem.

Its fun, having a "wish-list" of nice powerful "toys".

So lets see where the Apple prices drop to this fall, now that the shiny new G5s have been introduced.

Good morning to you too, Jane!

May I offer you a cup of fresh coffee? It's on the house :)

Barbara, don't bother with this. I will find a way to cross that bridge
once I get there. Believe me, it's not the first time I encounter some
difficulties. And with my computer background, there's usually not much
that resist me ;)

But thanks for trying, you're really a dedicated person!

Hi, Ray. Got an answer for you. I asked if iPhoto could import the EXIF data and here's the reply I got:

Yes, but I don't believe iPhoto will display ALL of the EXIF data. The
info shown is width and height, file name and size, creation and modification
dates, model and make of camera, and 14 exposure items. There are a number
of items that it does not show.





There are some programs, EXIF-O-MATIC and PhotoInfo that will show all
the data if the image file is dropped on the application.

Thanks Barbara for this finding! I knew there was a way! :)

Jurgen, what kind of DVD writer do you have, and what kind of software came with it?

Thanks for the information and the link, by the way!

Beth,

I am using the new TDK DVD writer which is capable of writing +R & -R DVDs.

The software is the Roxio 6 Suite. It came with the light version of the Photosuite 5. Prior to the Suite 6 I tested the full version of Photosuite 5 and it is doing a great job with the pictures.

For writing the VCDs I am using a Plextor CD writer. You cannot write VCDs or SVCDs with the DVD writer.

I was not sure whether it is ok to post other software here.
