Hi,

If, like me, you use photodiscs for work occasionally, I have a question for you: What software do you browse through thenm with in os x? on the disks it supplies either Lightbox, or some other app- but these are flawed, and for starters they arent osx compatible- I have disks running back for the last 5 or 6 years. Ideally i would like a app that show thumbnals and fullsize in the same main window (list of thumbs, with a big image next to it) and it should not make a database of the thumbnails on the hd- it would take up too much space.

So far I have tried the finder in column view- If the discs are old, the preview is a tiny low res icon, so is no good;

The file browser in Photoshop is slow, so would prefer not to use that;

I have tried a few apps on versiontracker, and they are lacking in one way or another (making a database, no thumbnail view)

So... what do you use?

thanks for the help,

Chris

iPhoto works great. Also, Kodak recently released their photo viewing software for OS X, search their site for it.
