I'm looking for a new photo organization app for my Mac. I've tried Aperture and Bridge, and too me, the interface just seems overly complex. It feels like things become more disorderly when I start the application. I hate them, and I don't use either. Any suggestions for a new one?
Thanks!

| For me Aperture and Lightroom are equal. You can't go wrong with either. In my experience, Aperture was way overwhelming at first and has a bit of a learning curve to it, once you get past that it's wonderful. Lightroom is actually a tad more user friendly from the get-go I think. |

Can lightroom be integrated with photoshop? I'm certainly leaning towards photoshop's full-featured photo editor, but I do love lightrooms layout... Can then be integrated? Such as, double-clicking on a photo in lighroom opens in photoshop?
ETA: Also, what version would you suggest? I hear controversy between 3 and 2.

I have used this one for MANY years
Expression Media (iView Media Pro)
I love it! But Microsoft bought it about 2-3 years ago and it has been upgraded once (which I have not done. I still run version 1.02.)
Phase One apparently took it over, so I expect it to come back to life and improve on it more, even though it does everything and more than I really need it to.

I have Lightroom 3.3. In the menu Photo/Edit In I have Photoshop listed. Once I finished in Photoshop I am back in Lightroom automatically. They are integrated. Most plugins from NIK and Topaz work in the exactly same way. I don't use Photoshop much, Lightroom has a lot of features for photo editing. Even spot editing, but no layers. |
