Jay- I have been using iPhoto since 2002 and have enjoyed the simplicity of the program. with my styling portfolio, I generally do not need much in the way of editing. With iphoto, I can choose images and choose "email" which then sizes to fit as I want , and then opens email and attaches them as well as showing them in the field. The default email, of course, is the app. which comes w/ the OS (4). Basically , its a "no-brainer". I have Photoshop elements, which Is the default for my scanner, but I don't know it yet. In my case, I have had many symptoms, which all seem to begin in the mail app.( and slowly migrating to other apps. using text (ed: text edit). I can share them if you'd like, I thought you had read them since you responded(?-see below) I have had umpteen rebuilds, reinstalls, and resets. I have a replacement G4! I still have the symptoms, and as of last night, I cannot open a mail window or fully close out ofit either! I have been using my comcast home site to email, and-Now It is showing symptoms! (ignoring preference settings, and key and mouse indiscrimancys(sp). by-the-by, would you explain why I get mail of responses for other listers questions, but don't see the mail for the questions themselves(?-see above) Much thanks! -- Lisa b.Hammond Production Design & Styling 206.579.4550 -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Jay Reiter <jayphotos at tcq.net> > Lisa - I believe it would - the beauty of it is that you can try it out > and see if it does what you want/need without trashing any other apps or > clients. > I'm curious why - and how - you're integrating iPhoto with mail - and > why you;re using it for a photo portfolio rather than putting together > an online portfolio that cannot be downloaded ( ie images stolen). > How are you integrating the two programs? > jay >
