iPhoto Library Manager, http://homepage.mac.com/bwebster/iphotolibrarymanager.html
If you use Apple iPhoto, you may have been frustrated by the fact that iPhoto forces you to keep all of your pictures in a single library folder and does not let you easily change the location of that folder. With iPhoto Library Manager, you can split your photos up into any number of separate libraries, store them on any disk connected to your computer, and switch back and forth between them easily.

PhotoPage, http://waves.apple.com:81/people/jav/PhotoPage.html
A Macintosh application that enables you to put your collection of images quickly onto the web. It allows you to enter descriptions for each picture, and it creates the HTML file for you. It also creates thumbnails and all the necessary links. You can use PhotoPage to make online photo albums or galleries.
