I having been following this thread terribly closely but I will add 
that the new version of EndNote (vs7: PC already released; OSX: any 
day now) purports to catalogue images as well as being THE reference 
manager.

And iPhoto is a dream, of course - just a shame that it will not 
allow storage of images on any disk other than the hard drive on 
which it is installed, at present.

Cheers, Phil.
