I used to be torn with respect to image editing on my iBook with OSX. iPhoto takes a long time to start but it an interesting picture management approach. I’m not yet sure I like it, but it certainly intrigues me: User interface, startup times, etc.
For *real* work, I am using The Gimp. Unfortunately, it requires X11, which is slow to start. And the Gimp itself is slow to start as well. And my iBook has only 256MB of RAM that other applications need. So I need an alternative for the simple stuff.
I talked about ImageWell before (2005-08-29 Software). While gratis, it is not free. And today I found Seashore on my desktop. I must have downloaded it together with ImageWell and it took me a while to take a look at it.
Less power but similar to The Gimp – I’m looking forward to it.
