I am just getting into photography as a hobby, and am looking for some good tools for image uploading/browsing/editing.

I am currently using the Canon EOS utility that came with the camera for uploading, Picasa for browsing, and GIMP for editing.

Pros:

  • The files are stored using the standard file system (no proprietary library like iPhoto)
  • Great photo editing possibilities
  • Free (except the Canon Utility, but that was bundled)

Cons:

  • Multiple programs
  • Hard to view the Exif Data (I like the way that iPhoto displays the data)
  • Over-simplified editing tools in Picasa

What other tools should I look into?

Also, I occasionally shoot in RAW, and would prefer Mac support (better monitor), but I also have windows and linux machines.
