iPhoto vs. Finder
I'm running into some grinding slow-downs using iPhoto.
I usually capture 35-50 RAW + JPEG shots at a time. In my old workflow I'd import to a desktop file, use Finder to quickly scan, label and discard what I didn't want then save to my "Pictures" folder. Keeping track of 'em after processing (in PS4) was a real pain with the old workflow, but the import/review process was very fast. Now I'm importing directly into iPhoto and what used to take a few seconds is now taking minutes and seems so processor intensive that multitasking slows almost to a stop.
It looks like a better workflow would be a combination of old SD card > desktop folder > review in Finder > iPhoto, but I have to think I'm doing something wrong and iPhoto should handle this better, or at least as well as Finder?
