OK, i give up, i cannot remember where the f&*( i have put that bookmark..

So here is the little software i am looking for (mac please os x)

I have about 200 picture... the customer is here to select the best one... i like to have it sit in front of the computer (mac 20 inches flat screen) and look at every picture... and decide YES or NO to keep the picture... it can tag or trash the picture i dont care... he will just press the button and go on and on

after the run of the 200 pics... it will keep .. let say 50... do it again... let put all the picture full screen full fast... and wait... YES or NO..... at the end it will only keep the 10-15 best..

NOW i will open it in photoshop to compare 1 to 5 and 3 to 6 to select the best one..

Anybody have this kind of program... the only thing i can remember is the big green yes and big red no at the bottom left.. but what is the name of that program ... i dont know... maybe i dont know what to type to get it in google..

Hey, you are my last chance.. HELP

Thanks in advance

I'm not familiar with the one you are looking for, but....

I use ACDSee to manage my pictures. I hit Ctrl-1 through Ctrl-5 to rate my pictures 1-5. Sometimes I simply do it on a single pass. More often, I'm picking pictures a little more like the way you described. Basically, I'll take all of my 5's and break them down even further by first moving them to a separate folder, then rating them again.

Iview Pro

you press 1, 2 or 3 on a photo and then spacebar to move to the next photo - full size, very quick.

and it is for mac too.

Canon imagebrowser can be used in this way. That would have come with your camera.

Canon imagebrowser is the program of choice to slidesho pictures and choose... but i cannot yes or no the picture... i take 4 , slideshow them ,and keep 2 and delete 1 3 4.. too complicated for a cutomer... it must come to the screen and wait for a yes or no... a rating 1 to 10 is too much... 1 or 0...

Any other idea... or i have to wait canon to come up with this option.. maybe i will ask !

given there are some that are made by people that think that they are programers, but there are some people that know what they are doing. You have to look and download that is the great thing about the trash can if it is cheezey than just get rid of it there are alot of great thing that can be done with automator. I dont use it alot but it does come in handy for certain stuff.

Sorry you dont think that it is any good just given some help

When the slide show is running, you have the option to select/deselect the photograph in the small control panel at the bottom of the screen. If you make sure that you use manual advance in the slideshow, you can ensure that all the photographs that you require are checked upon completion.

Another option that I used to use was Finepix viewer. You may be able to download that. When in the slideshow, one could delete an image and move on.
