In addition to Picasa, here are some top commercial tools: 1) iMatch. Not Apple, but very nice and full-featured. I believe it has non-destructive editing, and has a provision to kind of work on a home network with multiple users. ~$70. 2) ACDSee. Home version is ~$50, Pro version is around $120. This has long been a popular tool. 3) Adobe's new LightRoom. The costliest at $300, but may be worthwhile if you are a serious amateur or use Photoshop (or plan to!) BTW, my current photo editor of choice is The GIMP, which is free. So far, I can duplicate the Photoshop tips nearly exactly from the photography magazines. A great and cheap way to learn editing techniques. I’m currently researching catalog tools to. In addition to Picasa, here are some top commercial tools:

I was going through my external hard drives today, trying to free up some space and realized I have tons of duplicate photos. I try to sort my pictures, then I get nervous when it is time to delete and I don't, that is why I have at least 5 duplicates of my daughter's 5th grade graduation. I think I will give Picasa a try. I will just devote a few hours to going through all the drives. Thanks for a good tip :) This is such a good idea.
