Question Scrapping on a Mac?

Out of curiosity-- are there any Mac users here? If so, what programs do you use/have you used to scrapbook/organize and manage photos and scrapping goodies?

I'm on a Mac. I use iPhoto to organize all my stuff. I have a separate Library for my scrapping things so they aren't mixed in with all my pics. Two programs that I use to help keep things sane are:

Keyword Manager - This is a great program that is a plug-in for iPhoto and lets you assign keywords to all your stuff so you can search through them easier. There is a free trial and a full version for purchase here at the link below. I invested in the full version, and I don't think I could live without it now: http://www.bullstorm.se/KeywordManager.php

iPhoto Library Manager - This is a program that helps you keep track of your separate iPhoto Libraries. You can launch the libraries directly from the Manager and don't have to go searching for your libraries every time you open iPhoto. I LOVE it! They also have a free version (not a trial - just free), and a version you can purchase that has some extra features. http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/

I love both of these programs, and they have helped be stay semi-organized. The great thing is that they both have free versions so you can try them out and see if you like them before spending any money. Good luck!

I've been scrapping on a Mac for years.
I use Photoshop CS3 and Bridge for my layouts.
For managing my photos and my scrapbook elements I use iView Media Pro. This program allows me to sort by keywords/designer/date/event/color... What I like most about it is that I don't have to keep everything on my hard drive like you have to with iPhoto. I have WAY too many photos to keep on my computer. So I keep them on CD or DVD. iView maintains a thumbnail picture of the item in the catalog so I can find it. BTW, I also use the program to organize my finished scrapbook pages and even my music collection.
Don't forget about Font Book to find just the right font for your layout.
