MacOS – Image files organizer for OS X

Is there a good image file organizer for OS X?

I'm looking for something with good previews for image files, and that will allow me to tag the files.

I use Adobe Bridge, which comes with lots of Adobe apps (list, starting at $250).
It does all you want, and a lot of other stuff too.

Some of my favorite features, other than those that you mentioned:

  • Full-screen previews
  • Powerful batch renaming
  • Cache export
  • Configurability / flexibility
  • Speed

Another option is Adobe Lightroom ($250). It combines a Bridge-like manager with a reasonably-powerful editor.

I realize that Bridge and Lightroom certainly aren't free, but Bridge really is my favorite image manager.
If you want something that's free, the built-in iPhoto app is a good option, although it's far less powerful. It's got some nice features like face recognition and location-based sorting.
