PhotoReviewer is a photo management app that helps you to sort through your incoming photos from your digital camera (including raw images!).
Quickly view your photos and choose which ones are "keepers", sort them into different folders, view histograms, rename them sequentially, and more. PhotoReviewer belongs between your digital camera and iPhoto, weeding and sorting your photos before iPhoto gets bogged down by them. It also makes a great slideshow app!

Hopefully the developer will get around to fixing this.

I think Photo Reviewer and iPhoto Library ought to get together and sell as a bundle for those users who are constantly pushing the boundaries of iPhoto.
I've set it up so that when I plug my camera in, Photo Reviewer is the first to act.
I take on average 7-8 thousand photos a year. Previously this was quite a challenge for iPhoto -- now on a first pass I pare off about 50-60% of those with Photo Reviewer. It's fast, efficient and well thought-out for a first-react on photos.
It could be better, however. This is what I'd love from this tool.
1) a separate split-screen window of your Approved and Vetoed photos (small thumbnails) that accrues w/ each vote so you can see what you're doing. The ability to drag/drop between those screens would be uber cool.
2) an 'undo' function on votes. Would be much easier than going to find the photo you've just allotted to the trash pile (though this isn't too hard).
3) Statistics! I love knowing 1) how much space I'm saving w/ each veto 2) what number in any given role I've vetoed (percentages, etc)
4) Photo Reviewer has this cool feature where you can ' copy a thumbnail of a photo to the clipboard'. Great idea. However I'd like to see this taken farther with an 'email this photo' button. A lot of times I look at the photos in photo reviewer and then don't look at them again after they're imported into iphoto for a while (month? year?) and so I like to have impulse-reaction on photos.
5) Some handling of video files (taken w/ still camera) would be useful.
All in all, great software. Purchased this and iPhoto Library in a weekend and feel like I'm finally getting a handle on my iphoto library.

One thing I wish it would do is read the EXIF rotation information that way Photoshop and other programmes do.
My other wish is for a Universal Binary version. I'm keen to buy a shareware image sorter and PhotoReviewer (US$10) is my favourite ahead of Xee (free) and Photo Wrangler (US$15). Xee is very fast too but doesn't let you sort images into different folders as far as I can see. Photo Wrangler is great at sorting but seems very slow. PhotoReviewer seems like the best of the bunch to me but I'm not sure if it's still being updated.

PhotoReviewer is much faster at viewing the images and moving them to an approved or vetoed folder than either Capture 1 or Photoshop (using the file browser). If you have hundreds of image files to edit after every shoot, this program does just that very quickly and very well.
The program lets you allocate as much memory as you may need to pre-load the images so that as you move through the queue each image loads instantly. This pre-load is done in the background and works fairly fast.
When I use PhotoReviewer, I am mowing through raw camera files of 6 to 11 MB. If I am editing quickly, then I can "hit the pre-load buffer" and I must wait for the next image to load (when working with JPEGs, I cannot reach the end of the file buffer). When more memory is allocated, it takes even longer to hit the buffer, if at all. Using a 17" PowerBook with 2GB RAM, I allocated 1GB to PhotoReviewer for quickest editing. Make sure you understand the preferences well before you change any of the settings.
PhotoReviewer lets you rotate images, then move them from the current capture folder to either an "Approved" folder of your choice or a "Vetoed" folder of your choice. That's all it does, and it does it very well.
It's been the best $10 I've spent in software all year.
