Mac Forum / Country Specific / Australian Mac Group / February 2005Is iPhoto a dog?
I have not made the upgrade yet but two [what I consider fairly serious] faults reported here in as many days suggest a probalme that needs to be addressed. Who else is having problems with iPhoto 5? Me...but the large # of photos in my database might be the culprit. Even with under 1000 photos it is still slow. I'm currently trying a few other apps to replace it.

There was some information posted today on MacOSX Hints which talks about some possible speedups for iPhoto by reducing the thumbnail size: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050212014121749 That article also referred to another performance hint by removing the shadow effect in the display: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20030204061957714 Perhaps they might help. Ben. Excellent tips! Thanks heaps, I'll give them a go :) On 17/2/05 4:44 PM, in article bgg-5E52CF.16443117022005@nasal.pacific.net.au, "Ben Golding" <bgg@object-craft.com.au> wrote: >> Me...but the large # of photos in my database might be the culprit.

It's free with any Canon camera, etc. At least it catalogues AVI's. > On 17/2/05 12:39 PM, in article cv0sg4$2pl$1@spacebar.ucc.usyd.edu.au, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > > > Who else is having problems with iPhoto 5? > I prefer Canon's Image Browser. It's free with any Canon camera, etc. Not learly as pretty or as Mac-like as iPhoto though. > At least it catalogues AVI's. Doesn't iPhoto 5 accept movie clips? Cheers, Robert. Might give it a shot...does it move the files into its own database? Or just browse your existing folders of images? I want something with its own database if possible. I started a new iPhoto library last night, turned off shadows in prefs, and reduced the thumbnail size to a much smaller setting, and now it runs rather well, so I'll start re-importing my photos and see how it goes.
