Software / Archiving the (family) photos on OS 9
« Last post by Bolkonskij on Today at 08:41:47 AM »Would be happy to hear from folks how they deal with their photos (and videos, possibly?) ? I have a bunch of family photos that are still sitting in their original resolution in a folder on an external firewire harddisk. Most are just JPG files. A lot of them are from the time when the kids were infants or in kindergarden and I definitely want to keep them and possibly have them easily accessible.
I used to have them stored in iPhoto back when Apple was still supporting it on PPC OSX but found the program somewhat lacking already back then. In short, I never really liked it and got them all extracted in original size onto the external HDD.
I'm interested in a solution for Mac OS 9 that allows me to keep track of them, categorize them and comfortably view them - and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I do have iView Multimedia (3.8.1) installed which I had started to import stuff into, but I'm still wondering if that's really the best solution and what my workflow should be like. So I turn to you with a request for advice :-)
Someone else using iView Multimedia?
Or are you using another software?
What does your workflow look like?
Do you use a batch resizer to get modern 3000x4000px images down to something that OS 9 feels more comfy with or leave the originals as they are?
Any experience as for how many photos iView Multimedia is able to cope with until it gets real slow? (I'm on a 1,42 Ghz Mini)
Any input appreciated!
