Kodak Easyshare software or iPhoto?

I'm not familiar with the Kodak software, but you can make collages with apps like OmniGraffle , plus, any major editor like Graphic Coverter or Photoshop Elements.

Marcia,

If you have plenty of disk space, you may as well install the software and play with it. Since you like iPhoto, you can keep it set to open for importing when you connect your camera or camera card. But you could see for yourself if the Kodak software has any features you'd like to use.

Just take care to make no changes to your folders and files in the iPhoto Library folder via the Kodak software. You could choose some photos to experiment with, export to a desktop folder, and use the exports to play with the Kodak software.

If it turns out to have some editing capabilities you'd like to use, you can go to iPhoto Preferences and set the Kodak software as the default photo editor. Then you would select photos from inside iPhoto, double-click to open in Kodak, do your edits, and click "Save" to save the edits back to iPhoto.

Bottom line: you bought it, you may as will give it a try. Just don't use it to change anything inside the iPhoto Library folder (unless you go through iPhoto).

I had the EasyShare on my PC, and HATED it. I used Picasa instead but HAD to use EasyShare to upload all photos. It was, on my PC, a HUGE memory hog and slowed everything down very time I opened it. I was estatic, seriously, to not have to install it on my Mac. I miss Picasa, but iPhoto is close enough. Sure, there are likely a few things that were easier with EasyShare, but sooooo not worth the program taking up all avaliable computer resources.

As the poster above said, try it for awhile. If you don't like it, delete it... and rejoice that you have that option!

I do not recall a collage option in ES, but there was one in Picasa.
