iBorder FX crashes iPhoto every time when trying to export file. Had to uninstall.

The best iPhoto plug in is Aperture in the Mac AppStore for $99

If you are into photography, Aperture is awesome! And Aperture will organize videos, PDF's and just about any other files you can throw at it - good stuff!

You mean iPhoto X (If you read the small print, it actually says that Aperture is the codename for iPhoto X) :-)

I am of course frantic about loosing the wrong photos in any annihilation, so I chose to have DA write a string of characters with something in common (like "dublet&&&" and "original&&&") in both the original's and the dublicate's comments. In that way I can do a search on this ("&&&") and see both before deleting. Just make sure that the common part is unique, so no other photos share it beforehand.

My favorite plugin is FlickrExport. It does a lot more than iPhoto's limited Flickr support, like letting you edit the photos title, tags, and description, and add the photos to groups or sets.

Ah, What is loosing? Do you mean losing or loosening? Also, what does frantic have to do with it?

One of the best iPhoto plugins used to be Keyword Manager. Unfortunately, it stopped working with the most recent version of iPhoto.

The ideas were good. I am still looking for a way to delete slideshows from my iPad and rearrange the order of photos within an event.

I'm an "northerner", an English teacher by profession, but since moving to the south I find it quite common for people to use loose instead of lose as the verb that indicates something will be lost. And if I lost a bunch of my photos by accidental deletion I'd be pretty frantic, not that being frantic would be of any help. :-). Good suggestion about identifying before deleting, Peerb.

could not get the slideshow to run. I did get a lot information by clicking on all images and reading each one individually. I would've liked to have seen the slideshow but I guess there is something wrong with me since I could not figure out how to get it to run

Seems like good stuff but I haven't been able to open the slide shows. Could this just be too complicated an operation or am I doing something wrong. Any ideas? Thanks, glmac

RicD,

I think Peerb is an English language learner. Remember that many users of Macs are not native English speakers. (Sadly, even native English speakers often make grammatical errors in their postings.) Just because Peerb's posting contains errors, doesn't mean we should use this forum to point them out. He came here to offer some advice. It makes sense, even if not in perfect English. Let's be positive in the forum and encourage people to chat, rather than point out their errors and cause offense.
