Is there any decent software for managing photos on your PC? Something easy to rotate images, maybe crop them, group, add comments, print etc? Got some HP thing free with my PC and its awful so having to use Explorer which isn't ideal.

Anything?

I still don't think it betters Picasa for usability though, even if it was free.

Lightroom is supposed to be the badger's nadgers, but Picasa is free and ace.

Agreed - Picasa is soooo easy to use and quite seamless in working with web albums too.

My Dad uses Picasa so it certainly falls into the easy camp. I didn't really get on with it. I just use windows explorer for rotating and printing and paint.net for cropping and simple edits, Photoshop for everything else.

I'd have to sell an internal organ to buy Photoshop, is the only problem there. Even the cut-down Photoshop Elephants is like 70 quid.

Picasa and Paint.NET for me too (though I had to break out the Gimp the other day too).
