Recommend Mac software to sort through a days worth of pics?

[paulhillion]

I currently use a very useful piece of software called 'Pixort' on my PC to quickly sort through a day's worth of shooting, it enables you to individually view & cull any number of shots whilst letting you select the keepers. I use this software a great deal but unfortunetly it only runs on Windows. As I'm about to move over to using a Mac Powerbook I'd like to find some program that would do the same thing, any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

I don't use it regularly, but I'm pretty sure iPhoto does that.

software i can think of would be iPhoto, Adobe Photoshop CS and PhotoGrid.

I use photoGrid. I prefer it over iphoto.

Iphoto definitely does what you want. Just import the pictures into the program, or hook up your camera to the computer, and Iphoto will launch and read your camera. If you use a card reader, then the same works for it. Just put the card in the reader, and Iphoto will launch, and read the pictures right into the computer, after you hit the "Import" button. Then just hit the delete key as you view them to get rid of the pictures that you don't want.

Also if you want to put the pictures into PhotoShop, just click, and drag the pictures that you want from Iphoto into Photoshop onto the PS icon, and it will launch Photoshop, and bring in the pictures.

Iphoto should have come free with OSX, or with your computer if it came loaded with OSX.

Who knows, you might like it enough to keep it loaded, and use it as your picture album on your Mac.

As far as I know iPhoto doesn't deal with RAW as yet.
Also, be careful when viewing pics and clicking on the
BW function or other as think that it may not be reversable -
but I am not sure of it.

For sorting quickly I shoot RAW and JPEG, then download
into a folder on my desktop. Mac opens JPEGS with 'Preview'
by default until they have gone through PS or other ,
so when your folder is set to 'view icons' you can set it to
'sort by name' which gives you the JPEG beside the RAW.
That will give you a first glance of the JPEGS.
You can change the size of those icons.

To view all the JPEGS at once choose 'view by type' - the
JPEGS will appear at the bottom of your folder - you can select
them and view all of them with 'Preview' (it will look like a pdf).

I do my first sorting in the folder and then in the PSCS browser.

The industry standard for browsing, tagging, cropping and proofing is Photo Mechanic. It's not the cheapest, but in my experience, it's the best for Mac users.
