[QUOTE="Peakoverload, post: 346148, member: 27271"] Well that all depends on what you need. Without any shadow of a doubt the photo management of Lightroom and Aperture is vastly superior to PSE (or more accurately, Bridge) and I personally think Aperture's management is better than Lightroom. However Bridge, like Lightroom and Aperture allows you to add Keywords to your photos and of course you can add your own Keywords and Keyword Sets so you aren't restricted by the default sets. Therefore depending on exactly what your requirements are this may well be enough. Where Lightroom and Aperture improve on Bridge is that they allow you to create multiple libraries AND keywords so you can have one photo in any folder you like appear in two or more libraries. You can do something very similar in Bridge just by using Keywords but it isn't as neat and tidy but unless you actually need to do this regularly do you need to pay for it?
