I’ve started looking at a bunch of image browsing/processing tools on OS X after watching Eric work with his Windows toolset. Does anyone have any recommendations of apps they really like?
Some desired features:

How much post-processing do you want to do on the images? If you’re shooting RAW, there’s always Capture One, but that’s expensive at $499 - might as well buy Aperture.
I don’t know if iView 3.0 does watermarking or sharpening, but it’s been my main tool for several years. It does the other things that you want to do. At $199, the price keeps going up, with $99 the upgrade fee for 2.x users.

Been through many image browsers for the Mac. All I want to do is browse for images and view them. This program does the best job I’ve seen, and it’s free. I don’t think I could ask for anything more than this! Highly recommended if you’re looking for something simple but does its job very well.

Brett — I’ve used both Photoshop and Graphic Converter since for *years*, but the simple tools I saw Eric using for his batch processing were a better mousetrap.
Ste_Rose - um, what is the name of the image browser you like?
