iPhoto 2009 versus Picasa 3 on OS X--FIGHT!
Ironically and probably not coincidentally, as Apple announced iLife 2009 that included iPhoto 2009, Google announced Picassa 3 Beta for the Mac. I have a love/hate relationship with iPhoto and have tried out a couple of competitors but was no more impressed with them. Now, just as I think that Google makes a big leap forward, so does Apple. I am really excited by the face recognition features and geotagging support offered by iPhoto. I'll try both out in the coming weeks and post my impressions.

I bought my mac a couple of month ago and thought initially thought I would go all in on iPhoto - but now I'm starting to get second thoughts.
The fact that picasa actually updates the exif data in the pictures whereas changes made in iPhoto i not reflected in the exif data - geotagging and editing of "picture-taken-date".
In simple - geotages made in picasa is reflected in iPhoto - but not the other way arround.
I have not found out how to make iPhoto update the recording time when I have changed it in picasa.
I still haven't decided which software to use ....
