I think its because people think its only for converting graphic formats? It
is a fantastic product. I can't remember exactly, but don't Apple bundle it
with new Macs now? They certainly endorse and appreciate it. But hey, what
do I know.

Have you ever tried ImageBuddy? I use that for contacts. I must admit, last
time I tried GC for contacts, it didn't do them (that was some time ago). I
haven't tried it for ages using GC, is this a new function? Anyway, I'll
give it a go.

ImageBuddy doesn't save them either  :-(  You could try printing them to a
PDF file (if you're using OSX) I do this with a lot of things (not images)
However I'm not sure how that will affect colour management etc. I seem to
remember having problems with ImageBuddy, when I went down that route. Worth
a try though.

I've got the latest update, but haven't checked out its new features yet.
Check out PhotoGridX as well. Its got a fantastic sorting method, the best
on any Mac program I've seen. Don't use it for anything else. Its not
obvious how this works at first. Download it, then mail me (if you're
interested), I'll try and explain it, its not hard, just not obvious and
difficult to explain without seeing the app.
