I'm kind of new when it comes to using a mac (I've been a PC guy since I was a kid)...How you do you organize photos on your mac? iphotos? I have pictures from my own personal camera and also pictures acquired from the internet. I made separate folders for different categories such as cars, birthdays etc under Documents. I want to be able to flip through each picture like a slideshow. Is iphotos the only solution? I hate transferring my photos to iphotos everytime I download an image it's kind of tedious. Any suggestions guys? TIA!!!

Just take the whole folder, with all the photos that you want to import into iPhoto, and drag it on top of the iPhoto icon in the dock. It will do all the work for you. Then, if you are using iPhoto 09, you can sort your images by face, event, or place.
