Photo album software

picasa is pump handling raw shots but nice and easy for those who fear the computa

I find Adobe tools clunky, CS3 is great for editing photos but the management is poor.
Neither store the tags in the EXIF so migrating photos losses all the meta tag info. this is a pisser (like how itubes stores all the play list and rating in itunes and not with the file)
the latest picasa is better linked into windows - has some nice features, free to download and easy to test

Lightroom addresses all this and more, it is an absolute revelation in file management, one of my mates was like blah blah blah because he hates bridge (and why not, it is shit!), but after 2 days using lightroom he can't believe how easy and how efficient it is to use.

Try it you'll love it!
