I have a good method of separating my photos into nice chunks and decent software for viewing, editing, etc. My problem arises when I want to make a disk for someone else that combines certain photos from each of those nice chunks. It is a royal pain to sift through photos and copy them to a new directory, then burning that new directory's photos onto a disk. It takes a long time and a lot of free hard drive space, too. So - is there a program that will allow you to, say, go through thumbnails in multiple directories, put a check next to those you want, specify a directory (or even that you want them burned on a disk), and then it handles the rest?
I have seen lots of organizational software, but haven't seen this sort of feature listed.
Also, if any of you have other methods for making disks of this sort, let me know (I have some other methods, but they are also quite time consuming).
Thanks...

Archive Creator sounds like essentially what you want.

Try Pixort. I think it may be exactly what you are looking for. You "import" multiple photos in a directory, and you can then tag them with a number, 1-5, to then save them out to several different directories, based on your choise. It's supposed to be used for the inital culling of a lot of photos, say, from a wedding, but I think it will work for what you need.

I, too, am very curious to hear what you think makes it worth its price. It is expensive, but it also promises a lot. I would love to hear more of what you really enjoy about it.

Ummmmm....let's see.
iMatch...only WINDOZE
iView...Mac and WINDOZE
And I have been using iView pretty much since when it was released...for Mac...the only one that I could find...
...it was originally a Mac product...
...AND IT WAS GOOOOOOOOOOOD! (C:
..Now it is AWESOME. Does everything I need and more. I have created templates (very easily) that I can add in my own metadata, to make my webpages in less than 1 minute. The preloaded ones are pretty cool too.
Back up to CD/DVD through the program, make XML data files, text sheets, contact sheets; convert image, movie, or sound files; keywords, categories and catalogs including metadata can be exported into the ORIGINAL or whichever file; batch processing; setting finder properties for desktop or media thumbnail; transferring images to other folders (resetting paths, deleting or not, etc. as options); Folder watching and version folder watching. And it is scriptable, which wil be even sweeter when Mac OS Tiger comes out.
Enough? Those are just the things I use the most. Also image editing crap (should just lose that anyway), find missing items, reset paths, labels, custom fields, autofill, and tons more.
Most importanyly....runs on MY MAC. (C:

I've been trying the new ACDsee v7 and I am finding it very impressive. All of the speed of classic ACDSee, combined with management and editing features of Picasa, and hten some.
It's 50$ but I think I'm gonna end up buying this one...

I used the version before 7 (6.0.3) and kept hanging in there through all the issues until I lost two images forever. I used to keep up at their user forum pretty regularly, but stopped altoghther a while back. Were you using v6 ever? If so, does v7 really fix the bugs we were all having? I liked ACDSee, but have been too afraid to go back.

Nope, I stopped looking at it when it turned into bloatware after v2.43 which is the last version I've used regularly. I looked at 5 and it was awful and didn't bother with 6. 5 was also super slow compared to 2.43 and I heard the same with 6. Some reliable sources said 7 is actually back up to(a little faster even) then 2.43 and has significant management tools as well. So I tried it, and it's impressively nice. Take Picasa, mix with ACDSee 2.43 and that's sorta what you get. It's got a free 15 day trial so you don't have any thing to lose(well, as long as you use it with stuff you already have backups of). So far 7 has been pretty solid for me, I've only encountred one weird bug(the loader screen doesn't close after it transfers images from my memory card reader - but it could be avoided by not using ACDsee to load the pics, I've filed a report with them).

Hi
I also have thousands of photos to deal with. Current I use Adobe Photoshop Album to handle my photos.
This Archive Creator software looks really interesting. However, I do find the indexing a little confusing.

Holy Expensive Software Package Batman!
Seriously, that thing isn't cheap. I have an application that appears to act just like this iView software, but is is 100% Free of cost, being Open Source. It is possible that there is a Microsoft Windows as well as a MacOSX version of the application available. (I need to disclaim by saying that it 'appears similar' as I have only opened it once to glance at it and the interface is extremely similar.)
I have a number of things to take care of today. When I do have the chance to fire up my laptop, I will take a closer look at iView, then the app on Linux to check for similarities and if they are pretty close, I will confirm whether or not it is available for other Operating Systems.
