Both of which are things you either know how to use or you don't; the quality of the OS doesn't really matter.
So I'm always pleasantly suprised when the computer performs a "consumer" task with the greatest of ease, thanks to the fine people at Apple. iPhoto works great.
Here's what I wanted to do:
I've got 84 raw images from a digital camera that I want to scale down from 1900x1900 or something to 640x480.
Import photos into iPhoto. I already had the images on the hard drive. Importing took about 5 minutes.
Apple-a to select all photos
File-Export from the file menu. Choose scale to 640x480. Choose JPG format. Click export. Select destination folder. Click choose.
2 minutes later, 84 scaled down pictures in the destination folder, ready to be emailed.
Whole operation took less than 10 minutes. I thought it would be longer since I would have to export each image individually. Too easy. Good job, laptop!
