Greetings All,

Not a big fan of iPhoto.

Anyone here familiar with building AE-awareness into a REALbasic app?  
May as well do go that route, compared to the money they want for  
other apps that are probably not AE-aware in the first place.

And don't get me started on Art Explosion or Big Box of Art. Although  
both are AE-aware, the former has no concept of putting the catalog  
in one place with everything in it [you have to load their DVDs in  
order to even look at the catalog, and the latter, as far as I can  
tell, no longer gets support from it's manufacturer.

They've got good graphic images I'd like to add to a one-contains-all  
system I guess I have to build for myself. Or pay outrageously to  
own....$3500 for Art Explosion Client.

Sheesh!

Regards,

Chuck
