That's true. As I discussed with you once before, it's not a good tool
with which to prepare images for sending to a lab. Although anyone with
common sense can copy a jpeg image from iphoto to a CD without the
trappings of the software. It is fine for a beginner who just wants to
make albums and slide shows, while e-mailing an occasional jpeg to a
friend. It does a lot of the things it does to simplify tasks like
making nice slide shows with music.

My sentiments exactly. Unfortunately, it's all anyone's been able to
suggest so far.
I guess one man's floor is another man's ceiling.
Here is what I know about iPhoto.
Take it for the little it is worth.
It puts data too many directories deep into a CD for my comfort. I've
seen it put stuff 5-7 directories off the root.
It changes filenames, seemingly at random.
It puts image files in multiple directories for no apparent reason,
and duplicates filenames in those directories.
If you have to cross platform to a Windows system, it is not a pretty
sight.
