Has anyone tried/using/loving/hating it? I am looking to find a solution to my organizational/workflow chaos. Currently usings iView Media Pro, but will soon need a catalog for my catalogs :D Extensis Portfolio 6.1 does not offer significant features over iView Media Pro for me, is more expensive, slower and larger. iPhoto 2.0 is uber slow w/ more then 1000 photos and can't handle Canon RAW format. QPict is nice, but I prefer iView Media Pro ... recently discovered FotoStation, but haven't been able to test it yet.

- Is it OS X native?
- Does it support Canon RAW (CRW)?

Thanks in avance.

dont think it supports canon raw as i use that, but dont quote me on that!

however, the software itself is very good and easy to use. another one that you might useful is acdsee which i think is compatible with canon raw.

also, i only use windows xp, so cant help at all on the mac os x question!

Here is what I've found out through testing/asking elsewhere:

FotoStation 4.5 for Mac OS 9/X (according to their own website):

- Does not support Canon RAW
- Requires classic to install and run (So much for OS X compatability)

While I am not a big fan of ACDsee for Windows, it is even worse for the Macintosh: less features etc. Waste of download time/badwidth to even try it.
