I don’t like iPhoto. Functionality wise it’s a fine piece of software. But I can’t stand it storing three copies of the picture. One original, one modified and one nobody knows what it is for. Picasa, on the other hand, stores the changes made to the picture (kind of like a version control system) and applies those changes when you view or edit the picture. You also have the choice to persist the changes. Picasa was the only reason I’m not completely Windows free (Parallels has problems installing the latest Ubuntu). It’s not the case any more since I discovered Darwine a couple of days ago. As you can guess from the name, it’s a Wine port in OS X. I’m really surprised it’s not yet a well known solution for the Picasa on Mac problem. It’s easy to install. Picasa works really well with it (except for the stupid font). Here is a screenshot:
