An auto-tagging feature helps organize images by color and size, which is probably more useful for those of us who use images in a work context, but can also come in handy when you want to find specific images quickly. It makes it easy to find and organize image files on your Mac, no matter where you choose to store them initially. Īnother interesting image manager is Pixa. Most common image formats, including RAW and JPG are supported. Lyn is also compatible with existing iPhoto, Aperture, and Lightroom libraries. A number of upload options are available, including Facebook, Flickr, Dropbox, and Picasa (aka Google+). You can view photos on a map in the application, to see where you took them. Lyn includes histogram adjustments for color correction along with a set of non-destructive editing tools. In terms of replacing iPhoto, look no further than Lyn to provide multiple viewing options and a rich set of features.
For true desktop photo management, there are a couple of great options. I continue to maintain a Flickr account for photo sharing. For purely online photo storage and minor editing, the photo features built into Google+ are quite good. At one point you could put iPhoto on a diet, but you shouldn't need to download software to unbloat other software.
It seems slow to respond, it makes extra copies of files. There are little quirks I've never liked about iPhoto.
