Photo organizing software?

[damibru]

As my stock of photos is growing by the day, just organizing them in folders in Windows just doesn't seem adequate anymore. I'm curious if you guys use any sofware to organize photos and maybe you even have some recommendations?

What program do you use to edit your photos?

if you have creative suite... Bridge is a great program for organizing any/all images.

I thought windows had some equivalent to mac's iphoto as well.

Here are a few suggestion off the top of my head.

Picasa

Live Photo Gallery

ACDSee

iPhoto

Lightroom

I use PS and I do have Bridge but I have never used it.

Bridge is great and very easy to use... it works seamlessly with PS and will preview RAW files, etc.

Here a few youtube tutorials to get you stared using Bridge. Even though these tuts are for different versions of Photoshop, they should provide a basic concept.

Cool, thanks guys. Ideally for me a good photo organizing software utilizes the EXIF data of a photo and would give me a search feature based on EXIF.
I'll definitaly dive in to those tuts later, thanks!

Sounds like Bridge is perfect for you because it will do all that and more.
