In reverse chronological order:

Panic's Transmit is a nice FTP program for Mac OS X.

ImageRodeo (Mac OS X only) is a nice program for organizing websites of photos. I like it because its templates are very customizable (it has its own language, mine are very custom, let me know if you want a copy of them), because it's arbitrarily hierarchical, and because you can put html ie links in captions. Starting with this trip, I've worked a little harder and incorporated some Javascript into the site. This has solved the things that have annoyed me the most about the earlier trips. Pictures on the "photo" pages now automatically scale to the size of your browser window. Now I can easily set things up to substitute a movie for a picture. Since I'm no longer hand-tweaking pages, I can make changes in ImageRodeo without losing pages which have movies.

QuickTime Pro made some of the movies a little smaller, and rotated one of them.

Ray used Adobe Photoshop 3.0 to edit the pictures themselves for cropping, brightness, color, etc.

iView MediaPro is a nice program for organizing photos and slide shows just generally, but its later versions have too many features and are a little pricey. I'm happy with 1.5. It deals with movies and sounds and rotating and its documents points to a list of files in an order -- it doesn't take ownership of them like iPhoto. It was used to cull the 1000 or so that were used from the 7000 that were taken, and to see the day's pictures as a slide show on the road.

Canon's ImageBrowser, Lemkesoft's GraphicConverter, and Mac OS X's Image Capture were all reasonably adept at handling the transfer of the pictures from our cameras (Nikon D70 and Canon S80) to the computer on the road, rotating the ones which the sensors had noted were taken in portrait orientation as they copied them. The S80's tendency to jam its lens became more annoying when a whack wouldn't fix it -- it had to be taken in for service. Ray now has Nikon's travel lens, which he likes. Unfortunately his camera has been acting inconsistent, and is once more in the shop. He was much more impressed with his film camera which lasted for decades, than with this 3-year-old miracle of modern technology which the camera shop guys laughed at for being "old".
