I have being watching a few video podcasts of lightroom to boost my knowledge of it's capabilities, similairy watching the iPhoto tutorials preparing for when I get my iMac. I don't know which to choose for storing my photos. I like iPhoto because the scrolling feature which enables you to scroll through the photos in that folder can be very handy,it also looks simpler for viewing and displaying photos.The tagging and keywords I also think is better than what's in lightroom,and the fact that you can easily hide photos which saves deleting as many. Making projects also looks good.
In lightroom, you have all the photos in one application; both RAW files and final Tif files which saves exporting to a different application. The histriy pane in lightroom is very handy too. I have just learnt about backing up in lightroom to an external hard drive ( which have yet to buy), does this backup work better than what time machine does?
Any advice or input is appreciated, I know that both apllications have their advantages and disadvatlntages it's just deciding which one would work better
