A few in the know have pointed out BlueMarine which is still actually only in beta release. Picasa is a Google application - hello, please expect all your data are being copied to mothership. I would never use it. "wikili" above: a bot? or a noob? AOL user? Amazing how many of the people posting here have not Clue One about what Lightroom is or does.

Hardly free; but to me makes Elements esp good value. Haven't tried bluemarine (link not working for me just now; but even so, maybe wouldn't dovetail w Bridge, say); and though I sell some photos, Aperture beyond my needs I think.

It does seem to be good. They have geotagging which is even better. I need to test if that will actually work on Flickr and Zooomr. The one thing missing, unless i missed it, is a tagging feature. Like in Lightroom, you can set tags for the image and when you upload it, they will already be set. It’s a bit confusing to me but I just started playing with it. It does seem to be good.
