This has always been the best image printer. I have been using it since it was first released. With these bug fixes it now works great in MacOs 10.2.

Version 2.5

This version is actually 4.1. ImageBuddy has been around a long time and is one of the few still around from yore. An oldie, but a goodie!

Version 4.0

My evaluation of this app was very, very negative. The developer states that it supports RAW - it *DOESN'T*. There is some talk of a separate RAW plugin, but no way to download it for evaluation. Drag and drop from Aperture 2.1 DOESN'T work (the application states that it does, but the manual make no mention of Aperture, only iPhoto). The developer expects a "value-added" donation in order to get the ability to read PSD files - this should be a standard feature and factored into the price. In summary: if you use iPhoto or keep all your images in folders then this may work well for you. If you have a pro workflow involving RAW then it won't (as evaluated).

Version 4.0

Too Slow - I agree. But great features abound. The process of how the program ingests the images takes way to long. Same goes for printing of the images. I can go make a slow cup of coffee and come back and still wait for the images to go thorugh processing before the images are ready to actually be sent to the printer. Other than that and one or two small points (each time you rotate an image, you must see and deal with a ridiculous dialog box containing a warning about rotating the image. When you click on the switch not to see the dialog box again, guess what...? the pain-in the-butt warning dialog comes right back), this is a nice program that looks like it could be a winner if it were to get a speed bump in its image handling, both in ingesting and printing.

I had all the same issues with this great app until I finally upgraded my Mac. Man, what a difference that made.

Version 3.2.5

This is a terrific program, but it is horrifically slooooooooow. Version 3 is no different.

I have the same issue with the "slow" aspect, but then I went over to buddy's house and his newer G5 makes this pup scream. I then discovered how many of my apps are simply in need of a more powerful CPU; currently using a 500GHz G4 tower...too slow.

Version 3.1.3

Great software, packed with features that are extremely user friendly. At the present the only improvement that would benefit me is the abitilty to title each photo within the page and add addtional comments in open space areas of a page.
