For another Mac solution to this, try iView Multimedia Pro (there's a
three-week demo available at
http://www.iview-multimedia.com/products/download.html). I know that
someone else posted a reply about Apple's iPhoto, but you have to be
running OS X version 10.1.2 in order to run it, while iView
Multimedia Pro runs on Power PCs with everything from OS 8.5 to OS X
(and have an OS X native version). It organizes not only graphics,
but audio,video, vector illustrations, fonts, text, HTML, & PDF. You
can create HTML galleries, text data tables, contact sheets &
Quicktime slide shows, as well as performing single and batch file
conversion.
If you buy it with a digital download, it is $50. Buy it with a
physical shipment of the CD and printed manual, it's $90. I got my
copy of plain iView Multimedia as part of a bundle with Toast
Titanium, CD burning software, with an offer of a $30 upgrade to the
full "Pro" version.
I don't see that they have anything available for the PC side, though.
Cheers,
Margo
