I am just getting into photography as a hobby, and am looking for some good tools for image uploading/browsing/editing.
I am currently using the Canon EOS utility that came with the camera for uploading, Picasa for browsing, and GIMP for editing.
Pros:
- The files are stored using the standard file system (no proprietary library like iPhoto)
- Great photo editing possibilities
- Free (except the Canon Utility, but that was bundled)
Cons:
- Multiple programs
- Hard to view the Exif Data (I like the way that iPhoto displays the data)
- Over-simplified editing tools in Picasa
What other tools should I look into?
Also, I occasionally shoot in RAW, and would prefer Mac support (better monitor), but I also have windows and linux machines.
