Depending on your workflow, bibble5pro is quite better, but is proprietary. Picasa3 has a major failing for those who shoot raw. It processess images individually. One shooting any larger number of images would be processing images forever. I shoot youth sports and have no problem having to process 1600-2000 raw images for a weekend shoot. No way to do this in Picasa. I would be spending all my time in front of a computer. > Google surprises me with their lack of vision, pinching pennies and > passing up the opportunity to rule the Linux image file world. ??
