Damnit, what does Adobe have against raw-format workflow?
I have Photoshop CS and Photoshop Album.
Photoshop CS has a decent thumbnail browser that lets me view the thumbnails, rotate them (it notes that it is merely rotating the thumbnail and will actually rotate when I open the image), and open the file into their raw converter plug-in. It will not, however, let me categorize files other then "flag yes/no" and it will not let me move a selection of files into another directory so I can create my own categorization system.
Photoshop Album has a nice thumbnail browser that lets me view the thumbnails. If I want to rotate them, however, I have to let it create a copy of the file in either .jpg, .tif, or .psd format. This either cancels my reason for using raw, bloats my files, or REALLY bloats my files. If I choose not to let it rotate them, and deal with the crick in my neck, I cannot directly invoke Photoshop on the files -- it appears to be trying to handle them itself before it hands it off, so it then claims that Photoshop cannot handle that filetype -- which it CAN, damnit.
Currently, I'm using Album to sort my files, "exporting" a selection to another directory, and then editing and converting in photoshop.
Ugh -- anyone have any suggestions?
