iPhoto Buddy, Burn data, Barbie Adventures
... fun and serious programs
Following along from the previous page, now we'll lok at three valuable utilities that you might enjoy using ...iPhoto Buddy
iPhoto Buddy is a Mac OS X application (Universal) that allows you to easily create, manage, and switch between multiple iPhoto Libraries. The advantages of splitting your One Huge Photo Library into multiple, smaller ones include improved iPhoto performance, increased flexibility in organizing your digital photo collection, and a consistency with most other Mac applications that allow their respective data to be stored in as many documents (in this case, "Libraries") as you like.
iPhoto Buddy uses a simple, streamlined interface that was inspired by iPhoto itself. Anyone that has used iPhoto will immediately feel right at home using iPhoto Buddy. It truly is a companion application--a real buddy! iPhoto Buddy will never alter/move/delete your Libraries or your photo files. It's perfectly safe!

There are a lot of ways to approach burning discs. Burn keeps it simple, but still offers a lot of advanced options. Create data discs with advanced data settings like, file permissions, the disc icon, file dates and more on the fly. Create video and audio discs without worrying about conversion. Create your personalized DVD-Video discs using themes. Recreate discs and disc images you all ready have. Burn doesn't reinvent the wheel, it uses many powerful open source Unix utilities and is also open source.
