I turned red and had to explain to them that there’s iPhoto, but they should avoid it at all times and maybe use Picasa instead… At first they wouldn’t believe, but the instant they started playing with it they just gave up… :) And then when asked about picture handling and there was this awkward moment of silence. They really loved how easy, intuitive and smooth the OSX experience was. And it’s truly one of the very few Apple apps that I feel ashamed for – I remember when I was introducing my girlfriend and then my mom to OSX as they’ve had it with Windows. It’s basically Picasa/Bridge with a horrible management philosophy, but without any worthwhile features.
Compared to Picasa or even Bridge, it makes organising photos a real pain. And to turn off the “copying to library” option you gotta go into advanced settings, which doesn’t make things easier for most non-tech savvy users. Yeah, they have to turn it off, but by then it could’ve copied lots of GBs to its library).

Why can’t it be just a nice software to organise he photos on my drive + iCloud? Why does it have to be so clunky, counterintuitive and weird? It copies photos into its library (awful idea that in most cases I know just ends up with people having each photo doubled – regular file on HDD + a copy in iPhoto library and they usually don’t even know it since they don’t use iPhoto, except for when it pop us on it own. I’ve been able to grasp it after a while, but my girlfriend and my mom cringe whenever they have to use it – like when you share a photo stream it opens in iPhoto and makes you waste a couple of minutes before you can just copy the files onto your hard drive. iPhoto is one of the most clunky and awkward apps Apple has released.
